Lacramioara Bintu
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
BioLacra Bintu is an Assistant Professor in the Bioengineering Department at Stanford. Her lab performs single-cell measurements of chromatin and gene regulation dynamics, and uses these data to develop predictive models of basic biological processes and improve mammalian cell engineering.
Lacra started working on the theory of gene regulation as an undergraduate with Jané Kondev from Brandeis University and Rob Phillips from Caltech. As a Physics PhD student in the lab of Carlos Bustamante at U.C. Berkeley, she used single-molecule methods to tease apart the molecular mechanisms of transcription through nucleosomes. She transitioned to studying the dynamics of epigenetic regulation in live cells during her postdoctoral fellowship with Michael Elowitz at Caltech. She started her own interdisciplinary lab at Stanford in January 2017. -

Veronica Brand
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
BioAs a microbiologist and environmental engineer, Veronica Brand is a Ph.D. candidate studying the microbial ecology of wastewater treatment. In her work, she applies molecular tools to troubleshoot upsets at a local treatment plant and is elucidating the role of a specific glycogen-accumulating organism in these upsets. Veronica’s work will create diagnostic tools for monitoring and prevention of low quality effluent.
Veronica received her Master’s in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University. Prior to that, she completed her B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry, also at Stanford University.
