Matthias Garten
Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWith a creative, collaborative, biophysical mindset, we aim to understand the ability non-model organisms to interface with environment to a point at which we can exploit the mechanisms finding cures against diseases and use the mechanisms as tools that we can use to engineer the environment. By developing approaches that allow a quantitative understanding and manipulation of molecular transport our research makes non-model organisms accessible to researchers and engineers.
Specifically, we are studying how the malaria parasite takes control over red blood cells. By learning the biophysical principles of transport in between the host and the parasite we can design ways to kill the parasite or exploit it to reengineer red blood cells. The transport we study is broadly encompassing everything from ions to lipids and proteins. We use variations of quantitative microscopy and electrophysiology to gain insight into the unique strategies the parasite evolved to survive. -

Web Designer 3, OHNS/Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery
Current Role at StanfordAs a senior web designer at Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery Department and a member of the OHNS web team, I support the entire department web presence: http://med.stanford.edu/ohns.html.
I oversee a large number of projects related to the main OHNS site, research lab Wordpress sites, work on the website updates, and create visuals and photographs highlighting the department teams and places. I work with a large number of the department team members - from the administrative staff to the faculty members.
