Dr. Jessica Feldman

Biography

Jessica Feldman is an Associate Professor in the Biology Department at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the mechanisms underlying cell patterning in multicellular development, particularly the organization of microtubules and cell polarization. She employs genetic, biochemical, and live imaging approaches using the nematode C. elegans to investigate these processes. Feldman's academic journey began with her graduate studies at the University of California, San Francisco, where she researched the genetic regulation of centrosome structure. She has held postdoctoral positions at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, where she characterized centrosome roles in epithelial polarization. Since establishing her lab in 2014, she has aimed to foster a fun, supportive, and inclusive research environment while earning several awards for her teaching and contributions to the field. Her work not only explores fundamental aspects of cell biology but also contributes to broader developmental biology conversations.
