Gheorghe Chistol
Assistant Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch in my laboratory is aimed at understanding how eukaryotes replicate their DNA despite numerous challenges (collectively known as replication stress), and more generally – how eukaryotic cells safeguard genome integrity. Specifically, we are investigating: (i) mechanisms that regulate the activity of the replicative helicase during replication stress, (ii) mechanisms that control the inheritance of epigenetic information during replication, and (iii) mechanisms of ubiquitin-mediated regulation of genome maintenance. We utilize single-molecule microscopy to directly image fluorescently-labeled replication factors and track them in real time in Xenopus egg extracts. I developed this system as a postdoctoral fellow, and used it to monitor how the eukaryotic replicative helicase copes with DNA damage. We plan to further extend the capabilities of this platform to directly visualize other essential replication factors, nucleosomes, and regulatory post-translational modifications like ubiquitin chains. By elucidating molecular mechanisms responsible for maintaining genome stability, we aim to better understand the link between genome instability and cancer, and how these mechanisms can be harnessed to improve disease treatment.

Michelle Chiu, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine
BioMichelle Chiu graduated medical school from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and completed internal medicine residency at Stanford University. She is currently a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Hospital Medicine at Stanford Hospital. Outside her clinical work, Dr. Chiu is involved in medical education at the graduate and post-graduate level. She teaches IM Bedside Clinical Reasoning and Physical Diagnosis Rounds, an elective for second-year PA and medical students that focuses on the bridging the gap between classroom physiology and bedside pathology. Additionally, she is involved in APP post-graduate education with current projects in hospital medicine onboarding, CME, and scholarship.

Wah Chiu
Wallenberg-Bienenstock Professor and Professor of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research includes methodology improvements in single particle cryo-EM for atomic resolution structure determination of molecules and molecular machines, as well as in cryo-ET of cells and organelles towards subnanometer resolutions. We collaborate with many researchers around the country and outside the USA on understanding biological processes such as protein folding, virus assembly and disassembly, pathogen-host interactions, signal transduction, and transport across cytosol and membranes.
