Background
  • Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at Stanford University
  • Research focuses on cell surface receptors and their ligands
  • Aims to exploit mechanistic and structural insights into receptor-ligand interactions to interrogate and therapeutically impact human disease
  • Uses protein engineering to manipulate signaling pathways and control cell function and fate
  • Studied receptor systems play key roles in immunology, stem cell biology, and neurobiology
  • Work has translational relevance to immunotherapy and regenerative medicine
