Daria Mochly-Rosen, Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology, is the George D. Smith Professor for Translational Medicine. She leads a multi-disciplinary research lab that includes chemists, biochemists, biologists and physician scientists and has used her basic research discoveries to develop a number of drug leads for human diseases with a particular interest in mitochondrial biology and pathology. She was the chair of her department (2001-2004) and Senior Associate Dean for Research (2013-2016), has published over 250 papers and ~30 patents and patent applications.

Professor Mochly-Rosen is the founder and co-director of SPARK At Stanford (since 2006), which provides education in drug discovery and development and has helped over 100 inventors (50% of the participants) of biopharmaceuticals and diagnostics bring their invention to clinical studies and/or to licensing. She is the President Founder of SPARK Global established in 2015. This international organization promotes and supports translational research efforts in 70 academic institutions in 23 countries around the world, to increase the likelihood that new treatments will be developed from academic research efforts across the globe.

Professor. Mochly-Rosen holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Immunology from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and completed her postdoctoral training at University of California, Berkeley.
