Jaime B Seltzer
Affiliate, Biochemistry - Genome Center
BioJaime Seltzer is a researcher with Stanford Medicine working with the Synder Lab and at the Stanford Genome Technology Center.
Seltzer is also the Scientific Director at #MEAction for the infection-associated chronic illnesses ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) and Long COVID.
She is responsible for project management for clinical and research-associated projects and fostering communication between research scientists, clinicians, and people with infection-associated chronic illness. Ongoing projects: Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine-funded work to transform ME/CFS treatment and diagnosis at Mayo Clinic Rochester; Symptom Cluster Characterization in Complex Chronic Disease; multiple ongoing medical education initiatives. Leading institutional outreach for MEAction's Teach ME, Treat ME campaign. -

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe general research interest of this laboratory is the molecular basis of cell motility, with a current emphasis on power output by the human heart. We have three specific research interests, the molecular basis of energy transduction that leads to ATP-driven myosin movement on actin, the biochemical basis of the regulation of actin and myosin interaction and their assembly states, and the roles these proteins play in vivo, in cell movement, changes in cell shape and muscle contraction.

Pfeiffer and Herold Families Professor, Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the biology of chromosomes. Our research is focused on understanding how chromosomal domains are specialized for unique functions in chromosome segregation, cell division and cell differentiation. We are particularly interested in the genetic and epigenetic processes that govern vertebrate centromere function, in the organization of the genome in the eukaryotic nucleus and in the roles of RNAs in the regulation of chromosome structure.

BioUnderstanding mechanisms of metabolic regulation in physiology and disease forms the basis for developing therapies to treat diseases in which metabolism is perturbed. We devise novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics technologies, combined with data science, to systematically discover mechanisms of metabolic regulation over protein function. Our strategies established the first tissue-specific landscape of protein cysteine redox regulation during aging, elucidating mechanisms of redox signaling in physiology that remained elusive for decades. We also leverage the genetic diversity of outbred populations to systematically annotate protein function and protein-metabolite co-regulation. The aim of our research program is to develop next-generation MS-based strategies to understand mechanisms of metabolic regulation in aging, metabolic disease, and cancer, and to use this knowledge as a basis to develop translational therapeutics.
