Wah Chiu (Stanford University)

#52 — Wah Chiu is Wallenberg Bienenstock Professor, and Professor of Bioengineering, and Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University. In this episode of the Microscopists, Wah chats with Peter O' Toole about his pioneering cryoEM work and his research goals of understanding the structural biology of organelles.

They also discuss careers in academia versus industry, the role of AI and alpha fold in structural biology, and speculate on the future of microscopy. On a lighter note, they chat about the importance of keeping fit, seeing family, and taking a break on holiday—and touch on being productive on plane journeys and city hopping across Europe.
