On January 24, 2023, Dr. Karl Deisseroth , the 2018 Kyoto Prize laureate in Advanced Technology, was selected as a recipient of the “Japan Prize” in Life Sciences. Many congratulations on this prestigious recognition!

Using a new technique called multi-omic microsampling, Stanford Medicine researchers can measure thousands of protein, fat and metabolic molecules from a single drop of blood.

A discovery by Stanford Medicine researchers and colleagues may pave the way for a “morning after” or prophylactic nasal spray to prevent infection.
