Danny Hung-Chieh Chou
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program integrates concepts of chemical biology, protein engineering and structure biology to design new therapeutic leads and generate probes to study biological processes. A key focus of our lab is insulin, an essential hormone in our body to reduce blood glucose levels. We generate synthetic libraries of insulin analogs to select for chemical probes, and investigate natural insulin molecules (e.g. from the venom of fish-hunting cone snails!) to develop novel therapeutic candidates. We are especially interested in using chemical and enzymatic synthesis to create novel chemical entities with enhanced properties, and leverage the strong expertise of our collaborators to apply our skill sets in the fields of cancer biology, immunology and pain research. Our ultimate goal is to translate our discovery into therapeutic interventions in human diseases.

Raymond Chou, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Chou is a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. He is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Stanford University School of Medicine.
He provides expert care for patients who require non-operative treatment for musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions, with additional specialized expertise with conditions affecting the hand and upper extremity. For each patient, he develops a personalized, comprehensive, and compassionate care plan designed to achieve the best possible health and quality of life.
Among the conditions he manages are repetitive strain injury (RSI), rotator cuff disease, frozen shoulder, and tennis and golfer's elbow. He excels at the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and evaluation. He also uses ultrasound to precisely guide treatments delivered with injections and nerve blocks.
Dr. Chou’s expertise includes electromyography (EMG) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). He leads the pioneering Stanford Gaming and Tech Injury Medicine Program, dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and research of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions that develop from prolonged interaction with electronic devices. His research focus revolves around neuromodulation and other non-operative treatments for dynamic compressive neuropathies.
He has published the findings of his research in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Spinal Cord, and other journals. He has co-authored chapters in the textbooks Handbook of Clinical Neurology and Basics of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.
Dr. Chou has addressed his peers in presentations at meetings of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Topics include extracorporeal shockwave therapy, dynamic compressive neuropathies, and rock-climbing injuries. Additionally, Dr. Chou founded the International Society of Hand and Upper Extremity Physiatrists, an organization dedicated to advancing innovation, education, and research of non-operative approaches to the treatment of hand and upper extremity conditions.
