Harry S. Mosher Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLaser spectroscopy and microscopy of single molecules to probe biological systems, one biomolecule at a time. Primary thrusts: fluorescence microscopy far beyond the optical diffraction limit (PALM/STORM/STED), methods for 3D optical microscopy in cells, and trapping of single biomolecules in solution for extended study. We explore protein localization patterns in bacteria, structures of amyloid aggregates in cells, signaling proteins in the primary cilium, and dynamics of DNA and RNA.

Siavash Moghadami
Ph.D. Student in Chemical and Systems Biology, admitted Summer 2022
BioSiavash is a Ph.D. student in the Chemical and Systems Biology Department at Stanford University School of Medicine, mentored by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi. His work sits at the intersection of chemical biology, glycobiology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, with the long-term goal of programming the glycan code of the human brain.
Before Stanford, Siavash earned his B.Sc./M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology from the University of California, San Diego, graduating summa cum laude with highest departmental distinction and honors.
An immigrant pursuing the American dream, Siavash feels deep gratitude for the United States, which has given him a new home and a path to higher education and scientific discovery. His research on the glycan code of the human brain is, in many ways, his way of giving back, honoring the opportunities he found here and working to protect the health and independence of his own and others' loved ones. -
Ariam Mogos
Lecturer, d.school
BioAriam Mogos leads emerging technology initiatives at Stanford's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school), where she helps students and educators work with emerging technologies like AI and blockchain, and shapes conversations around the tech’s ethical implications on humans and nature. Her design work and research also investigates the ways that technology can foster playful learning experiences that bridge communities and cultures.
