Dean’s Lecture – Miriam Goodman – Stanford University

Join us for the Dean’s Lecture on October 7, 2025 at noon in MSB 2.006, featuring Miriam Goodman of Stanford University. The Goodman lab studies the molecular events that give rise to the sensation of touch and temperature using C. elegans nematodes as a model system. They also study how sensory neurons withstand mechanical and chemical stresses, including chemotherapy drugs and the elevated levels of glucose characteristic of diabetes.
