She would later launch the field of systems biology at Stanford, advise two U.S. presidents on antibiotic resistance and bioterrorism threats, receive the National Medal of Science, and cofound biotech companies. Dr. Shapiro currently directs Stanford University School of Medicine’s Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic Medicine and is a professor emeritus of developmental biology at Stanford.
