Research Focus
Dr. Jessica Lynn Feldman's lab at Stanford University focuses on understanding how microtubules, important components of cell structure, organize themselves during the differentiation of cells. By studying the roles of specific proteins in microtubule organizing centers, her team investigates the changes that occur in cells as they mature into different types. Their research has implications for understanding diseases like cancer, where these processes can go wrong.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
