Yun S. Song is a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and Statistics. His research group primarily consists of computer scientists, statisticians, and mathematicians who are fully committed to advancing biology. They develop AI/machine learning models and robust statistical methods to facilitate the research of the broad biomedical community, while also getting deeply involved…
Research BioThe Denis Titov lab uses computational and experimental approaches to work on the following long-term research directions: Quantitative Understanding of Human Metabolic Pathway Regulation The goal of this research direction is to achieve a predictive understanding of human metabolism regulation. Decades of biochemical and physiological studies of purified enzymes have yielded extensive knowledge of…
Research BioDavid D. Moore is a molecular metabolic biologist whose work has defined how nuclear hormone receptors regulate liver physiology and whole-body energy homeostasis. His laboratory has uncovered fundamental mechanisms by which nuclear hormone receptors coordinate transcriptional, translational, and organelle-level programs that govern lipid metabolism, fasting responses, xenobiotic detoxification, and proteostasis. His research spans molecular…
Anders M. Näär is a Professor of Metabolic Biology in the Department of Nutritional Sciences & Toxicology at the University of California, Berkeley. He received a B.S. degree in biochemistry/biotechnology from the University of Lund, Sweden, in 1988, and a Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology with M. Geoff Rosenfeld at UC San Diego/HHMI in 1995, studying…
Andreas Stahl is the Ruth Okey Chair and Professor in the Metabolic Biology and Nutrition. The overarching goal of the Stahl laboratory is to advance human health by engineering solutions for obesity-related disorders such as Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). To this end, Dr. Stahl is investigating molecular mechanisms governing…
Emily Tenorio Molina is a first-generation student at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Her reporting focuses on technology and science in the San Francisco Bay Area. She’s currently a Newscast intern with KQED, and she’s previously worked for Bay City News and Contra Costa Pulse.
Sam Chamorro is a first-year graduate student studying Health Policy & Management at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, where she serves as a Blue Shield of California Fellow. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from UCLA. Her work has centered on mixed-methods field research, health data analytics, and climate resilience policy….
Research Bio: Laurent Coscoy is a Professor of Immunology in the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology. Research Focus: The adaptive immune response is critically dependent on the presentation of peptide antigens by Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules to CD8+ T cells, a process integral to the immune surveillance of neoplastic and virally…
Martina started her career as a communicable disease contact tracer and case investigator at a county health department to support the Covid-19 pandemic response. She then worked for Kiva to support global financial inclusion. Most recently, Martina worked for a USAID contractor implementing programs with partners in Mozambique, Myanmar, and South America. She is excited…
