Seth Andrew Sharp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Endocrinology and Metabolism
BioSeth is a Larry L. Hillblom Postdoctoral Fellow in the Translational Genomics of Diabetes laboratory under Dr. Anna Gloyn with co-mentorship in statistical and population genetics from Dr. Manuel Rivas. Seth completed a B.E. in Applied Mathematics before studying a PhD at the University of Exeter with Drs. Richard Oram and Michael Weedon in which he spent significant time at the Pacific Northwest Research Institute developing new statistical models for polygenic risk scores to predict, screen and understand Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune disorders with screening expert Dr. William Hagopian. Seth was further seconded to the Alan Turing Institute in London where he used deep learning methods to develop neonatal blood spot polygenic risk screening panels. His postdoctoral studies at Stanford now focus on applying "GWAS-in-a-Dish' and "Polygenic Risk Score to Function (PRS2F)' approaches with rich cellular phenotyping from human donor islets to understand the molecular determinants of impaired insulin secretion in diabetes. He is involved in a number of national human islet research networks and gene-perturbation screen efforts aimed at better understanding diabetes, as well as clinical translation studies at Stanford aimed at improving precision medicine approaches to diabetes.

Carla Shatz
Sapp Family Provostial Professor and Professor of Biology and of Neurobiology
On Leave from 09/01/2024 To 08/31/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of research in the Shatz Laboratory is to discover how brain circuits are tuned up by experience during critical periods of development both before and after birth by elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms that transform early fetal and neonatal brain circuits into mature connections. To discover mechanistic underpinnings of circuit tuning, the lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity and studied their function for vision, learning and memory.
