Walk with me

In the first nine videos of a new series calledWalk With Me, Stanford Medicine researchers tell us not only about their aha moments of discovery but also about themselves — sharing insights into their work and lives as they show us around their home base on campus.

Each video introduces us to one of these innovators, among them a Nobel laureate who carries out experiments within living cells, a diabetes researcher who studies how the body produces insulin, and a neurologist who’s harnessing the immune system to fight cancer.
