Zhainib A. Amir
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI received my B.S. in Microbiology, and M.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology from San Francisco State University. Currently, I am a Biology Ph.D. student with an emphasis in Cell, Molecular and Organismal Biology at Stanford University. I am interested in a range of topics, from cell biology to cancer immunology, however, my research interests lie primarily in understanding the cellular mechanisms at play in genetic and autoimmune diseases.

Paul Bump
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Summer 2016
BioPaul Bump is an explorer of the small and squishy. His research in strange, enigmatic, marine invertebrates hopes to unlock secrets around basic biological processes and provide novel perspectives to advance fundamental cell biology research. He currently studies how an organism can build two wildly different bodies during its life while having access to the same genetic information. While puzzling, the process of indirect development, with distinct larval and adult body plans, is the most common developmental strategy in many animals. His research involves studying the metamorphosis of Schizocardium californicum, an indirect developing hemichordate worm, which transforms from a small swimming planktonic balloon into a burrowing, muscular worm in a 24-48 hour time period.
