Eugenio L. de Hostos, PhD, became the new lab manager for the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) on September 1, 2007. As a senior research scientist, his background is in cell and molecular biology, particularly the biology of the cytoskeleton. Dr. de Hostos received his undergraduate degree from Yale University and earned his PhD from the Stanford Biology Department and the Carnegie Institute at Stanford in 1989. After graduating, Dr. de Hostos worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich, Germany, and at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He was subsequently hired as an assistant professor at Rice University, but left academia to work in the biotechnology industry at Exelixis and Cytokinetics in south San Francisco. At Cytokinetics, he worked on the development of anti-cancer drugs that target mitosis. He enjoys traveling and spending time with his daughter and wife, who is also a scientist at Stanford.
