Alejandro Matia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioAlejandro MatÃa is a CZ Biohub Collaborative Postdoctoral Fellow, working jointly with the Huttenhain lab at Stanford and the Arias group at the CZ Biohub San Francisco. The main focus of his research is to use systems approaches to uncover new insights into viral infections, such as identifying host factors in relevant study models. Alejandro obtained his PhD research at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), employing multi-omic technologies such as CRISPR genetic screens and single cell transcriptomics in Poxvirus infections. His interest in Bioinformatics led to the creation of MaGplotR, a tool designed for the analysis of multiple genetic screens. Alejandro also has experience in long-read sequencing, and he has sequenced different viral genomes such as Vaccinia virus, Monkeypox virus and SARS-CoV-2.

Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioMy long-term scientific goal entails establishing an interdisciplinary and diverse laboratory focused on mitigating antibiotic resistance. My research comprises three central elements: elucidating the bacterial calcium transduction pathway, biosurfactants for treating deep tissue infections, and understanding how calcium signaling regulates bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms.

Stephen J Smith
Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStephen Smith remains active in the computational microscopy field and is also currently using data science tools to explore new transcriptomic perspectives on signaling by neuropeptides and other neuromodulators in brains of diverse animal species. These exploration have unearthed evidence for a previous unrecognized ubiquity of local neuropeptide signaling and possible critical involvement of such signaling in memory engram formation.

Richard Tsien
George D. Smith Professor, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study synaptic communication between brain cells with the goal of understanding neuronal computations and memory mechanisms. Main areas of focus include: presynaptic calcium channels, mechanisms of vesicular fusion and recycling. Modulation of synaptic strength through changes in postsynaptic receptors and dendritic morphology. Signaling that links synaptic activity to nuclear transcription and local protein translation. Techniques include imaging, electrophysiology, molecular biology.
