Institute Scholar Peter Kim spent 12+ years helping develop and approve 20+ vaccines and medicines, including Gardasil and Keytruda.
His lab @Stanford combines protein engineering and AI to design vaccines with broader, more durable immune protection: brnw.ch/21x6N4J

“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.”

Our final version of human AGO2 led editing of RNA is out today in @NatureBiotech! Led by @noScandineHere, we got excited by the reduced immunogenic risk and efficacy advantages of using a human-derived protein for non-downregulatory RNA manipulation.

More exciting work from the Banik lab! Congratulations @noScandineHere @StevenMBanik @StanfordUChem @Stanford_ChEMH

I can’t wait for the next event that brings us all together. Until next time Bertozzi family! @Stanford_ChEMH

Thank you to Dr. Paul Mischel of @Stanford for yesterday’s IICD Seminar! 🧬

Dr. Mischel discussed how ecDNA drives cancer evolution, enabling tumor cells to rapidly adapt to changing environments and treatments.

Our 13th Annual Stanford Neurosciences Symposium has begun! Our topic: Building the Brain. We’re exploring how our brains wire themselves up from a few cells into the three pounds of matter in our skulls that makes us who we are.

Congratulations to our Institute Scholar Rebecca Pinals @RLPlikesscience for receiving the 2026 Dr. Laure Aurelian Biomedical Research Award! chemh.stanford.edu/news/rebecca-p… @StanfordEng

A team including Gerald Crabtree, Institute Scholar Nathanael Gray, Stephen Hinshaw, Michael Green, CBI fellow Meredith Nix & co-lead author Sai Gourisankar, & Nucleus Director Daniel Fernandez built a molecule that flips BCL6 into a cancer kill switch: brnw.ch/21x6rur

That’s a wrap on #CRB60! Thank you to all the researchers who showed, from glycoRNA to bioluminescence to tuberculosis, just how far Carolyn Bertozzi’s legacy has traveled!

Today we're live from #CRB60, a symposium honoring our director Carolyn Bertozzi's legacy and impact on chemical biology. Speakers include Bertozzi lab alumni now leading their own research.
