Carla Shatz
Sapp Family Provostial Professor and Professor of Biology and of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of research in the Shatz Laboratory is to discover how brain circuits are tuned up by experience during critical periods of development both before and after birth by elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms that transform early fetal and neonatal brain circuits into mature connections. To discover mechanistic underpinnings of circuit tuning, the lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity and studied their function for vision, learning and memory.

Edward I. Solomon
Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Solomon's work spans physical-inorganic, bioinorganic, and theoretical-inorganic chemistry, focusing on spectroscopic elucidation of the electronic structure of transition metal complexes and its contribution to reactivity. He has advanced our understanding of metal sites involved in electron transfer, copper sites involved in O2 binding, activation and reduction to water, structure/function correlations over non-heme iron enzymes, and correlation of biological to heterogeneous catalysis.

Adam Sperling, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioDr. Sperling received his medical degree and PhD in Biological Chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2011. He completed his residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and his fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He received board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine in 2014, in Medical Oncology in 2017 and in Hematology in 2018. He was a member of the staff at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston from 2018-2026, where he was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 2026, where he is a hematologist and basic and translational researcher in hematologic malignancies. He cares for patients with multiple myeloma and related blood cancers and his research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of disease evolution from pre-malignant conditions and the development of drug resistance in multiple myeloma and other hematologic malignancies.

Aaron F. Straight
Pfeiffer and Herold Families Professor, Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the biology of chromosomes. Our research is focused on understanding how chromosomal domains are specialized for unique functions in chromosome segregation, cell division and cell differentiation. We are particularly interested in the genetic and epigenetic processes that govern vertebrate centromere function, in the organization of the genome in the eukaryotic nucleus and in the roles of RNAs in the regulation of chromosome structure.
