Laura K. Bachrach

Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) at the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital, Emerita
Clinical Focus
Endocrinology/Diabetes, Pediatric, osteoporosis, Pediatric Endocrinology
Research Interests
Prevention of osteoporosis begins in childhood and adolescence by measures that maximize acquistion of bone mineral during the critical adolescent years. Body mass, calcium nutriture, physical activity, growth and sex steroid hormones, and genetic factors are all thought to be important determinants of bone mass although the relative contribution of each remains controversial.

Alex Gao

Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and of Microbiology and Immunology
Research Interests
We integrate computational genome mining with high-throughput experimental approaches and structural biology to harness the rich diversity of genes from microbes, with the goal of developing new antibiotic strategies and molecular biotechnology. A major area of current interest is uncovering novel molecular functions involved in anti-phage defense and bacteria–phage interactions, which are a major driver of molecular innovation in nature.
