Biography

Monther Abu-Remaileh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on identifying novel pathways that enable cellular and organismal adaptation to metabolic stress and environmental changes. His lab studies the mechanisms by which lysosomal function impacts cellular adaptation and the onset of human diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome. The group employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating metabolomics, proteomics, and functional genomics to explore lysosomal communication within cellular compartments and its role in fulfilling metabolic demands. By leveraging insights from this research, Dr. Abu-Remaileh aims to engineer new therapeutic modalities that can effectively modulate disease-related pathways. He holds various academic appointments, including membership in the Stanford Cancer Institute and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.
