Gladstone’s Seth Shipman Named Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences
Shipman is recognized for pioneering molecular technologies that record cellular activity, expand genome editing, and target antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Gladstone also has an academic affiliation with UC San Francisco and we primarily accept graduate students from certain UCSF PhD programs.
Part of Gladstone’s mission is to train future scientific leaders. We know that mentorship is a key driver of success and is a vital part of the work and training at Gladstone. We have a Mentoring Committee that actively assesses how to promote and enrich mentoring efforts. They also coordinate career development opportunities and host events where trainees can form deeper connections with more senior scientists.
We also provide opportunities for our trainees to develop their own mentoring skills. Through the PUMAS Summer Internship Program, graduate students and postdocs work with community college students over the summer, building their leadership skills while helping the next generation gain hands-on lab experience.
Gladstone is committed to providing an open and inclusive environment. The Gladstone Graduate Organization (GO) and Gladstone Postdoc Action Committee (GPAC) are two community groups that provide a space for our trainees to connect and learn from each other. In addition, multiple other community groups bring people together at Gladstone, such as the LGBTQ+ community group, Women’s Initiative, and Student Outreach.


Inspired by bacterial biology, the Gladstone-developed “Detectron” opens up new possibilities for disease research and potentially treatments.
Ayush Midha, a graduate student in the Jain Lab, studies how the body's metabolism adapts to low oxygen—work that's uncovered backup energy pathways, potential fertility treatments, and a link between oxygen levels and tumor growth.
A new discovery reveals how a SARS-CoV-2 protein reprograms immune cells to accelerate viral spread—and points to a new strategy for therapeutic intervention.
The fellowship provides three years of funding for graduate students pursuing groundbreaking immunology research.
Our people are our most important asset. We offer a wide array of career opportunities both in our administrative offices and in our labs.
Open PositionsDiscoveries don’t stay in our labs. Gladstone facilitates spinout companies to advance promising therapies, shortening the path between scientific discovery and helping real patients.
