Biography
He is a Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Chemical and Systems Biology.He is faculty fellow of Stanford ChEM-H.He is a member of Stanford Neurosciences Institute.He is Doctoral Dissertation Reader (AC) in Devon Chandler-Brown. He is a Postdoctoral faculty sponsor of Jason Bell, Rene Ladurner.He is a Doctoral Dissertation Advisor (AC) of Shengya Cao, Julio Flores Servi and Doctoral Dissertation Co-Advisor (AC) of Thomas MannHis main goal is goal is to understand how chromosomes are faithfully transmitted during cell division and how chromosomes are structured and organized in the nucleus. Many cellular processes act on the chromosome to specialize different chromosomal domains for unique functions in the biology of cells.
