Lacramioara Bintu
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
BioLacra Bintu is an Assistant Professor in the Bioengineering Department at Stanford. Her lab performs single-cell and high-throughput measurements of chromatin and gene regulation dynamics, and uses these data to develop predictive models 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. -

Melissa Boswell
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory, where I also received my PhD in Bioengineering. I'm passionate about monitoring, improving, and motivating movement and increasing access to health care with digital technology. My research bridges the fields of biomechanics, psychology, and computer science to understand not just how we move, but how we think about movement and our motivation for being physically active. I value human-centered design and a holistic, lifestyle-focused approach to engineering and medicine. I enjoy cultivating creativity and humor in work and life, sharing ideas, and communicating science, particularly on my podcast, Biomechanics On Our Minds (my mom says it's her favorite biomechanics podcast).
