    Stephen M. Hinshaw

    Assistant Professor (Research) of Molecular and Cellular Physiology

    BioStephen Hinshaw is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and the Faculty co-Director of the Stanford Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center (cEMc). His laboratory develops and applies cutting-edge tools in chemical and structural biology to uncover fundamental cellular mechanisms and translate these insights into powerful new pharmacological strategies.

    Stephen received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and earned his Ph.D. from the Harvard Program in Genetics and Genomics, where he discovered fundamental mechanisms governing chromosome segregation during mitosis. He then conducted postdoctoral research as a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard Medical School, with additional training as a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Janelia Research Campus. During this period, he used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of protein complexes that underlie genetic inheritance in normal and cancer cells. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Stephen led discovery efforts for new therapeutic modalities as a Senior Research Scientist in the Center for Therapeutics Discovery and at the Stanford Cancer Institute.
