Distinguished Pioneer in DNA Research and Medical Education

Dr. Gilbert Chu serves as Professor of Medicine (Oncology) and Biochemistry at Stanford University, bringing a unique combination of expertise in physics, medicine, and molecular biology to his work. After earning his BA in Physics from Princeton, PhD in Physics from MIT, and MD from Harvard Medical School, he joined Stanford's faculty in 1987 where he has built an extraordinary career spanning research and education. His scientific contributions include groundbreaking work in DNA repair mechanisms, development of electroporation techniques, and creation of innovative methods for microarray data analysis. As Course Director and principal lecturer for Molecular Foundations of Medicine, he teaches first-year medical students the principles of molecular biology integrated with patient presentations. His excellence in teaching has been recognized with multiple Kaiser Awards for Excellence in Preclinical Teaching, the Lawrence H. Mathers Award for Exceptional Commitment to Teaching, and the Asian American Community Faculty Award. Currently, his research focuses on developing a point-of-care device for blood ammonia measurement, studying DNA repair mechanisms, and improving educational strategies. Beyond his academic work, Dr. Chu holds several patents and has made significant contributions to cancer research, particularly in understanding how cells react to DNA damage from radiation.
