The lab is starting a new chapter and building its next team. We are looking for people who want to do serious science at the boundary of technology and pediatric oncology, and who want to do it in a place where colleagues support each other.
With new support in place, we are recruiting scientists at every career stage over the coming year. Early members of a growing lab get unusual ownership: you shape the projects, the methods, and the culture. The culture we want is simple: rigorous, generous, and fun to be part of.

Principal Investigator
Chuck is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medicine and a practicing pediatric oncologist. He invented primary template-directed amplification (PTA) and co-founded BioSkryb Genomics. Outside of work he enjoys anything outdoors in the Bay Area and spending time with his family.
Basic Life Research Scientist
Veronica received her PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Arizona. In the lab she is passionate about working out the details of new biotechnology methods. In her free time she enjoys gardening and spending time with her family.

Gifts to the lab fund the early, high-risk experiments that grants rarely cover: a new single-cell method, a pilot cohort, a student's first project. Every contribution, of any size, goes directly to the lab's research programs.
The simplest first step is a note to Chuck. He reads every message and will reply personally to talk about what you would like to support.
Gifts are tax-deductible in the United States. Chuck can connect you with our partners at the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health for a gift agreement or a named fund.
