Biography

Morris Gozani is the Herzstein Professor of Biology at Stanford University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying chromatin-signaling networks and their effects on nuclear epigenetic programs. His work primarily investigates lysine methylation, which is a principal chromatin-regulatory mechanism that directs epigenetic processes. Gozani studies how lysine methylation events are generated, sensed, and transduced, and how these chemical marks integrate into nuclear signaling systems to govern diverse cellular functions. His academic credentials include both an M.D. and a Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School, both completed in 1999. Gozani has received several prestigious awards including the Advanced Fellowship in Aging Research from the Harvard/Hartford Foundation and has served on multiple advisory boards, which highlight his contributions to biomedical sciences.
