Arend Sidow
Professor of Pathology and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have a highly collaborative research program in the evolutionary genomics of cancer. We apply well-established principles of phylogenetics to cancer evolution on the basis of whole genome sequencing and functional genomics data of multiple tumor samples from the same patient. Introductions to our work and the concepts we apply are best found in the Newburger et al paper in Genome Research and the Sidow and Spies review in TIGS.

Alexandre Six
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research is grounded in my curiosity about the living world and my desire to contribute to impactful, concrete discoveries. I began my journey in the world of biotechnology and microalgae during my studies at UTC in France, where I grew Volvox algae for tissue engineering purposes. Since then, I have been interested in studying and developing the potential of microalgae. During my PhD at CEA Cadarache, I investigated starch production in green microalgae for use in bioplastics. This work involved studying the induction, physiology and light requirements of starch accumulation, as well as developing a bioprocess for starch extraction, purification and plasticization. Working with Yonghua Li-Beisson, I have generated mutant strains of Ostreococcus tauri, one of the smallest known eukaryotes, to study the evolution of lipid metabolism in algae and plants. Here at Stanford, I am developing a genetic toolbox for non-model cyanobacteria in the Yeh lab.

Raymond A. Sobel, M.D.
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune-mediated injury in CNS tissues that are affected in multiple sclerosis (MS). We study: 1) tissues of mice with EAE using histology and immunohistochemistry, 2) cross-recognition of neurons by antibodies against myelin proteolipid protein epitopes, and a distinct oligodendrogliopathy induced in mice by the non-protein amino acid azetidine (Aze), (which is found in the human diet); Aze-induced abnormalities mimic those in MS patient CNS tissues
