Sindy Tang
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Radiology and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe long-term goal of Dr. Tang's research program is to harness mass transport in microfluidic systems to accelerate precision medicine and material design for a future with better health and environmental sustainability.
Current research areas include: (I) Physics of droplets in microfluidic systems, (II) Interfacial mass transport and self-assembly, and (III) Applications in food allergy, single-cell wound repair, and the bottom-up construction of synthetic cell and tissues in close collaboration with clinicians and biochemists at the Stanford School of Medicine, UCSF, and University of Michigan.

Hawa Racine Thiam
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur current work has two branches. Branch #1 is building a quantitative and predictive understanding of how neutrophils initiate and complete NETosis. Branch #2 is identifying the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that regulate high deformability in neutrophils. These branches converge onto understanding and harnessing the impact of nuclear biophysics on immune cell functions to re-engineer neutrophils for improved health.

Alice Ting
Professor of Genetics, of Biology and, by courtesy, of Chemistry
On Leave from 09/22/2025 To 06/10/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe develop chemogenetic and optogenetic technologies for probing and manipulating protein networks, cellular RNA, and the function of mitochondria and the mammalian brain. Our technologies draw from protein engineering, directed evolution, computational design, chemical biology, organic synthesis, microscopy, and genomics.
