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.

Kathryn Barton
Associate Professor, Biology
Consulting Professor, BiologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsPlants make new leaves and stems from clusters of undifferentiated cells located at the tips of branches. These cell clusters are called apical meristems. We study transcription factors that control growth and development of apical meristems. Our studies include plants growing in environments rich in water and nutrients as well as in poor environments. The deeper knowledge of plant development gained from these studies will ultimately help increase food security in a changing environment.
