Daniel Jarosz
Senior Associate Dean, Basic Science, Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology and of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory studies conformational switches in evolution, disease, and development. We focus on how molecular chaperones, proteins that help other biomolecules to fold, affect the phenotypic output of genetic variation. To do so we combine classical biochemistry and genetics with systems-level approaches. Ultimately we seek to understand how homeostatic mechanisms influence the acquisition of biological novelty and identify means of manipulating them for therapeutic and biosynthetic benefit.

Behnaz Jarrahi, PhD
Affiliate, Anesthesia - Adult Pain Medicine
BioDr. Behnaz Jarrahi is a neuroscientist whose research combines neuroimaging and advanced data analysis with philosophical inquiry into the nature of mind and consciousness. She earned an M.S. in Management from Stanford and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH. Prior to that, she completed a bachelor's and a master's degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, as well as additional bachelor's degrees in mathematics, chemistry, and brain science with honors. Her passion for studying the brain and understanding the mind led her to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship at the UCLA Semel Institute for Human Neuroscience and the Stanford University School of Medicine. More recently, Dr. Jarrahi has served as an instructor and principal investigator of an NIH-funded K25 research project. Alongside her work in neuroscience, she continues to explore interests in neurophilosophy and recently earned an M.A. in philosophy, focusing on the philosophy of mind and cognitive science.
