    STANFORD BIO-X PHD FELLOWSHIPS 2020 Stanford Bio-X Fellows Group Photo 2019 The Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellowships The mission of the Stanford Bio-X Program is to catalyze discovery by crossing the boundaries between disciplines to bring interdisciplinary solutions, to create new knowl- edge of biological systems, and to benefit human health. Since it was established in 1998, Stanford Bio-X has charted a new approach to life science research by bringing together clinical experts, life scientists, engineers, and others to tackle the complexity of the human body. Currently over 980 Stanford Faculty and over 8,000 students, postdocs, researchers, etc. are affiliated with Stanford Bio-X. The generous support from donors, including the Bowes Foundation, enables the program to remain successful—at any given time, Stanford Bio-X is training at least 60 Ph.D fellows, and Fall 2020 brings 21 new fellows to the program. The Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellowship Program was started to answer the need for training a new breed of visionary science leaders capable of crossing the bound- aries between disciplines in order to bring novel research endeavors to fruition. Since its inception in 2004, the three-year fellowships, including the Stanford Bio-X Bowes Fellowships and the Bio-X Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowships (Bio-X SIGFs), have provided 318 graduate students with awards to pursue interdisciplinary research and to collaborate with multiple mentors, enhancing their potential to gen- erate profound transformative discoveries. Stanford Bio-X Fellows become part of a larger Stanford Bio-X community of learning that encourages their further networking and development.

  • Multi-Omic Approaches for Biosynthetic Pathway Prediction in Plants
    Propositions 1. Although guilt-by-association (the principle behind many gene function prediction approaches) promotes “throwing data against the wall to see what sticks”, there is value in interpreting what did not “stick”. (this thesis) 2. To aid data interoperability and re-use, the design of new -omics experiments should always consider the design of previous ones with similar objectives or parameters. (this thesis) 3. Skilled computational scientists make themselves irrelevant for routine tasks, and indispensable for novel ones. 4. Within Academia excess attention is given to the name and prestige of journals, laboratories and authors. 5. The basics of “programming” and “computer science” will soon be seen as analogous to “literacy” and “numeracy”. 6. Children should be taught about life that most adults, if not all, are making it up as they live.

  • Stanford University E N G I N E E R I N G Chemical Engineering Stanford, CA 94305-5025
    CHAITAN KHOSLA School of Engineering STANFORD Wells H. Hauser and Harold M. Petiprin Professor Keck, Room 337 CHEMI CAL Chair, Department of Stanford University E n g i n e e r i n G Chemical Engineering Stanford, CA 94305-5025 Fall 2010 Dear Chemical Engineering Alumni and Friends, As the new academic year begins, I’d like to tell you about some of the significant events in the Stanford Department of Chemical Engineering over the past year. Our 50th Birthday Party On May 11, at this year’s Mason Lectures, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Stanford Department of Chemical Engineering. And what a celebration it was! Special thanks to Gerry Fuller, Pam Juanes, and a core group of alumni including John Richardson, Eric Lutkin, Carol Fisher, and Lisa Hwang for making the event a huge success. What started as a dream in the brain of the late Professor David Mason half a century ago has now evolved into a department with 15 active faculty, approximately 75 undergraduate majors, more than 100 graduate students, and more than 20 postdoctoral researchers. Last year alone, students and faculty in the department collectively published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in the primary literature. More than a dozen U.S. patents were awarded to researchers in the department. And somehow, if you ask any student or faculty member, they’ll shrug their shoulders and say that we’re only just getting started. Much has changed in the past 50 years, but some things remain the same. Foremost among the constants are our shared passion for teaching and learning and our unshakeable confidence that as long as Stanford chemical engineers remain well schooled in the foundational sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology, and as long as they are adequately introduced to the awesome conceptual and practical power of the preparative, analytical, and modeling tools that we call chemical engineering, good things will continue to happen.
