Dr. Krasnow is Professor and Chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Mark Krasnow is elucidating the genetic programs that control embryonic development of the Drosophila respiratory system and mammalian lung. He is especially interested in the developmental patterning mechanisms and the cell and molecular biology of these processes, and in using the information to understand lung disease and to regenerate a lung.
