معرفی
Michelle Monje-Deisseroth is a Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, with cross-appointments in Cancer Biology and Stem Cell Biology programs. She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses spanning neurosciences (NENS/NEPR), cancer biology (CBIO), stem cell research (STEMREM), and bioengineering (BIOE).
Her research integrates neurodevelopmental biology with oncology, focusing on neuron-cancer interactions in pediatric brain tumors and neural circuit influences on tumor progression. Key interests include myelin plasticity, neuroimmune signaling in glioma, and regenerative approaches for neurological damage from cancer therapies. This interdisciplinary work bridges basic neuroscience with translational cancer therapeutics.
Professor Monje-Deisseroth actively mentors students through directed research courses (CBIO 399, NENS 399, STEMREM 399) and clinical experiences (NENS 280), supervising projects from undergraduate theses (HUMBIO 194) to medical scholars research (NENS 370/STEMREM 370). Her lab likely investigates activity-dependent tumor growth mechanisms and neural repair strategies, supported by her extensive graduate teaching load.
