Daria Mochly-Rosen
George D. Smith Professor of Translational Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTwo areas: 1. Using rationally-designed peptide inhibitors to study protein-protein interactions in cell signaling. Focus: protein kinase C in heart and large GTPases regulating mitochondrial dynamics in neurodegdenration. 2. Using small molecules (identified in a high throughput screens and synthetic chemistry) as activators and inhibitors of aldehyde dehydrogenases, a family of detoxifying enzymes, and glucose-6-phoshate dehydrogenase, in normal cells and in models of human diseases.

Siavash Moghadami
Ph.D. Student in Chemical and Systems Biology, admitted Summer 2022
BioSiavash Moghadami is a Ph.D. student in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, co-mentored by Professors Carolyn Bertozzi and Longzhi Tan. His work sits at the intersection of chemical biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and aging, with a long-term vision of building programmable brain–body physiology for healthy longevity so that fewer families have to watch their loved ones age in frailty.
Before Stanford, Siavash earned his B.Sc./M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology from the University of California, San Diego, graduating summa cum laude with highest departmental distinction and honors.
A proud immigrant pursuing the American dream, Siavash feels a profound sense of love and gratitude for the United States, which gave him a new home and a path into higher education and scientific discovery. His research on brain–body physiology and healthy longevity is, in many ways, his way of giving back—honoring the opportunities he found in America and working to protect the health and independence of his own and others’ loved ones.
