A technique to see DNA as it moves in living cells could offer novel fundamental insights into biology.

Bioengineering Professor Michael Fischbach shares his framework for choosing impactful problems to work on and finding optimal solutions.

A new method for delivering drugs could make it possible for chemotherapy patients to take pills rather than receive infusions.

A new method for relocating proteins that have been misplaced in cells could mean new treatments for cancers and neurodegeneration.

An inexpensive kit developed by Stanford undergraduates brings hands-on lessons in the gene-editing technology to high school classrooms.

A method that combines a large language model with data about a protein’s 3D shape could make it quicker and easier to develop medications.

The Sarafan ChEM-H Institute scholar is building a multidisciplinary lab to explore the reengineering of immune cells. Before coming to Stanford, she says, “I was thinking in terms of understanding. Now I feel that I can start thinking in terms of creating.”

New research from Stanford and the Arc Institute could lead to a new and more effective immunotherapy and help clinicians better predict patient response to existing medicines.

Stanford Professor Carolyn Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her development of bioorthogonal reactions, which allow scientists to explore cells and track biological processes without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.
