Biography

Daniel Jarosz is a Professor of Chemical Systems Biology and Developmental Biology at Stanford University. With a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry from MIT, Jarosz's research investigates the interplay between genetic variation and environmental stress. He focuses on molecular chaperones and their roles in protein folding, which can lead to heritable traits influencing evolution and disease. Jarosz's pioneering work has introduced high-throughput screening methods to explore the effects of prion-like protein aggregation. He has received numerous accolades for his research, including the NIH New Innovator Award and several Foundation Fellowships. Additionally, he is actively involved in graduate education and mentorship at Stanford, particularly in the Chemical & Systems Biology Department.
