Bertozzi is being recognized for both her pioneering work in bioorthogonal chemistry that has transformed cancer therapy, molecular imaging and drug delivery as well as for her commitment to mentorship and scientific leadership.

Monther Abu-Remaileh explores the lysosome, a cellular recycling center that could change how we think about Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, and more.

The project will be carried out in collaboration with world-class chemical biology laboratories at Stanford Medicine led by Chaitan Khosla, PhD, and Cui Bianxiao, PhD, affiliated with the Stanford Innovative Medicines Accelerator.

The Stanford researcher views plants as nature’s ultimate chemists, with implications for how we treat cancer, understand food allergies, and feed the planet.

Heloise Hoffmann and her teammates won the Sarafan ChEM-H Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program pitch night with their proposal to develop a gene therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a rare disease that causes progressive muscle degeneration and for which there is no cure.

Dassama Lab’s staff scientist, Poulami Chatterjee, received the award for her research on how Lyme bacteria evade the immune system, which could pave the way for new treatment approaches.

The award supports doctoral students pursuing research and careers in science and technology.

The team, including Institute Scholar Rebecca Pinals, Eric Sun, and Yuecheng (Peter) Zhou, is among the awardees.

Institute scholar Monther Abu-Remaileh is a co-PI with Michael Bassik and Marius Wernig on Team Lashuel, led by Hilal Lashuel, one of the teams funded by Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research through a $261 million effort to advance Parkinson’s research and treatments.

Dassama was recognized for her innovative research, potential for future impact, and dedication to advancing scientific knowledge.

The same trick could also be used against them

Dassama was recognized for her work characterizing lipid-binding proteins in bacteria for mitigating multidrug resistance.

Yunbeen Bae, Amanda Cai, Zixuan Liu, and Cathy Zhu, were all awarded fellowships through the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.

Young-Min Kim, in the lab of Livnat Jerby, in collaboration with Fabrizia Urbinati in the IMA has engineered immune cells to act as cellular ‘bloodhounds’, tracking the metabolic byproducts of cancer cells to better infiltrate and destroy solid tumors.

Institute Scholar Jonathan Long & team studied the extreme metabolism of pythons—snakes that gorge themselves and then go months without eating—leading to discovery of an appetite-reducing molecule that could be a starting point for new weight-loss drugs.
