Stanford is looking to expand the only facility on campus where researchers can work with the virus that causes COVID-19. Once underway, the expansion could be completed in six months and would greatly speed research toward treatment and prevention.

A study from Stanford Medicine researchers and their collaborators that provides evidence that the drug azlocillin eliminates the bacteria that cause Lyme disease at the onset of infection in lab mice and cultures.

A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras, but rather than taking a picture, it takes a movie of the neural electrical activity.

Stanford researchers have developed a method to genetically reprogram cells to build artificial structures.

A Stanford researcher and two collaborators conducted an extensive review of Alcoholics Anonymous studies and found that the fellowship helps more people achieve sobriety than therapy does.

Our brains can predict the popularity of online videos, without us even knowing it.

The curious ability of the African turquoise killifish to press pause on its development could have intriguing implications for human ageing, say researchers

On Feb. 11, Stanford ChEM-H and Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute hosted a scientific symposium, CONNECT, to celebrate the official dedication of the new ChEM-H and Neurosciences Buildings.

People with epilepsy are contributing in surprising ways to research into the brain

NIH-funded research used machine learning algorithm to predict individual treatment response.

Using EEG to measure brain activity, Stanford researchers and their collaborators applied artificial intelligence to help determine the best depression treatment for individual patients.

Making changes to the molecular messengers that create proteins might offer flexible therapies for cancer, pain or high cholesterol, in addition to genetic disorders.

A new technique for systematically surveying proteins on the outer surface of cells, which act like molecular social cues to guide cell-cell interactions and assembly into tissues and organs.

The online world can be isolating — and it can even contribute to rage, depression and extremism. But technology and the web can also be used to foster community, understanding and even spirituality.

The oxygen we inhale, combined with the food we eat, generates the energy we need to live, think and blog.

Stanford scientists have identified specific biological pathways along which individuals age over time.
