Ovijit Chaudhuri
Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the physics of cell migration, division, and morphogenesis in 3D, as well cell-matrix mechanotransduction, or the process by which cells sense and respond to mechanical properties of the extracellular matrices. For both these areas, we use engineered biomaterials for 3D culture as artificial extracellular matrices.

Bertha Chen, MD
Jill and John Freidenrich Professor of Gynecology and Professor, by courtesy, of Urology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Chen’s research examines the molecular causes of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. Recognizing that urinary incontinence linked to demise of smooth muscle sphincter function, she is investigating the potential use of stem cell regeneration to restore muscle capacity.

Can Chen
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Can Chen is a board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine and geriatric medicine, with a clinical focus on post-acute and long-term care. She is a Certified Medical Director by PALTmed (Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association) and serves as the Medical Director for The Sequoias Portola Valley Continuing Care Residential Community, where she is committed to enhancing the quality of care for senior residents.
Dr. Chen excels in shared decision-making and creating individualized care plans, emphasizing personalized approaches to advance care planning, dementia care, and beyond. Her dedication to improving quality standards in geriatric care extends to her involvement in quality improvement initiatives, interdisciplinary team education, and community education in senior living environments. Dr. Chen actively engages in guiding seniors and their families through the complexities of healthcare and aging, advocating for informed and compassionate care. -
James K. Chen
Jauch Professor and Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology, of Developmental Biology and of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory combines chemistry and developmental biology to investigate the molecular events that regulate embryonic patterning, tumorigenesis, and sperm development. We are currently using genetic and small-molecule approaches to study the molecular mechanisms that sustain stem-like cancer cells or promote spermiogenesis. We are also developing new technologies for optically controlling developmental signaling proteins.

Jonathan H. Chen, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Medicine (Computational Medicine) and of Biomedical Data Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInformatics solutions ares the only credible approach to systematically address challenges of escalating complexity in healthcare. Tapping into real-world clinical data streams like electronic medical records will reveal the community's latent knowledge in a reproducible form. Delivering this back as clinical decision support will uniquely close the loop on a continuously learning health system.

Lu Chen
Professor of Neurosurgery and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWhat distinguishes us humans from other animals is our ability to undergo complex behavior. The synapses are the structural connection between neurons that mediates the communication between neurons, which underlies our various cognitive function. My research program aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation.
