Laurie Kraus Lacob Director of the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI), Jerome and Daisy Low Gilbert Professor and Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTelomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that protect chromosome ends and shorten with cell division and aging. We are interested in how telomere shortening influences cancer, stem cell function, aging and human disease. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that synthesizes telomere repeats and is expressed in stem cells and in cancer. We have found that telomerase also regulates stem cells and we are pursuing the function of telomerase through diverse genetic and biochemical approaches.

Alfredo J. Artiles
Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education
BioAlfredo J. Artiles is the Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education and the Director of the Research Institute at the Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity at Stanford University. Artiles studies equity paradoxes generated by educational policies. He examines the protective and marginalizing effects of disability diagnoses and is advancing responses to these differential impacts. He and his colleagues led the federally funded National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems and the Region IX Equity Assistance Center. He uses an interdisciplinary lens to interrogate the ideologies that organize the sociocultural lives of institutions and makes visible the role of power in naming and ordering intersectional identity categories of exception. He also advances comparative analyses of inclusive education models. Current research projects include:
* Examination of socio-historical, institutional and cultural influences in educators’ interpretations and responses to chronic district citations for racial disparities in special education and discipline.
* Re-design of policies and practices that leverage Black family partnerships and interrupt precursors to racial disparities affecting Black learners in a district with chronic disproportionality.
* Analysis of alternative meanings of “disability” and “inclusive education” across institutional contexts and their equity consequences for disparate groups of students.
* Documentation of how disability intersections with other identities (e.g., race, language) become visible or invisible across institutional practices (e.g., referrals, assessment, eligibility meetings) and the consequences for educational opportunities.
* Analysis of equity consequences of inclusive education implementation in Global South contexts.
* Oral history of Larry P v. Riles: An interdisciplinary analysis of disability-race intersections.
* Use of a design-oriented participatory approach to co-create integrated data systems across general education, special education, and bilingual/English learner programs to improve disability identification practices.
Dr. Artiles has been appointed to consensus panels of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that produced the reports Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English, Closing the Opportunity Gap for Young Children, and the Future of Education Research at the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education. He was a member of the White House Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. Artiles is President of the National Academy of Education, is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), and an elected International Fellow of the British Academy. He was elected AERA Vice-President to lead its Social Context of Education Division (Division G).
Prof. Artiles is editor of the book series Futures of Disability in Worlds of Difference (Harvard Education Press). Artiles was a Resident Fellow at Stanford’s Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. He received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Göteborgs (Sweden) and was Honorary Professor at the University of Birmingham (UK). He delivered AERA’s 2011 Wallace Lecture and the 2017 Brown Lecture. Artiles has received numerous awards such as the Palmer O. Johnson Award for the most outstanding article published in an AERA journal and AERA’s Review of Research Award. Dr. Artiles has received mentoring awards from the Spencer Foundation, AERA’s Division on Social Contexts of Education, and Arizona State University. He was selected Distinguished Alumni from the University of Virginia School of Education.
