Research
The long-term goal of my lab, which is composed of undergraduate and master-level students, is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive morphogenetic processes in the vertebrate embryo. Recently my lab has made significant progress in identifying the complex cellular movements that lead to the formation of somites and the elongation and alignment of muscle fibers in the model system, Xenopus laevis. Given that the somites establish the basic segmented body plan of the vertebrate adult, understanding the cellular and molecular underpinnings of this process is of great importance. Given the recent discovery of muscle-specific microRNAs involved in muscle formation and maintenance, we have recently been investigating the role of three muscle-specific microRNAs, miR-1, miR-133, and miR-206, in the regulation of somite and muscle morphogenesis.

Instructor, Special programs
International Business, College of Business
Bio:
Background. Professor Heiman’s education includes an A.B. in Psychology from Stanford (1981); an M.S. from Stanford in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design (1983); an M.B.A. from Universiteit Nijenrode, NL (1990); and a PhD from UC Berkeley Haas School of Business (Business and Public Policy, 2002). He has published in a substantial number of academic journals and conference proceedings as well as refereed books. He has served for five years as Chair of the College of Business Graduate Curriculum Committee, Board Chair, SF State Bokstore, and President of the SF State Friends of the JPL Library, a non-profit that supports the Library at SFSU. He routinely counsels and nurtures a number of SF Bay Area entrepreneurs.
Research. Broadly, Prof. Heiman explores international aspects of creativity and innovation in his research. Within this realm, his interests include design thinking in firms, transaction cost economics, and its application to international aspects of problem finding and solving in organizations. He works under the iportant, emergent umbrella of "Microfoundations" theory.
Teaching. He has worked previously as a faculty member at Universiteit Maastricht, NL, Faculty of Economics, USF Masagung School of Management, Stanford Center for Professional Development, and UC Berkeley (Visiting Assoc. Prof.) Prof. Heiman has over 20 years experience working full time in firms, or consulting in strategic management, with an emphasis on innovation processes. He has extensive experience teaching MBA, Undergraduate, Executive MBA, and Executive Certificate Program students. Classes taught include Innovation and Entrepreneurship (UCB), Doing Business in Europe, Global Strategic Management, Creativity Skills for Global Managers, International Business Environment Analysis (SFSU), Statistics and Math for MBA Students (USF), and Cross-Cultural Creativity (SFSU). Prof. Heiman also teaches IBUS 130: Globalization and Business in the 21st Century, a large online undergraduate course. He has extensive experience designing and implementing hybrid and fully online courses. He speaks English (native), Dutch (advanced) and French (elementary).

Professor
Biology, College of Science and Engineering
Bio:
Leticia Márquez-Magaña, PhD is Professor of Biology and the Director of the Health Equity Research (HER) Laboratory at San Francisco State University. She is the first-born daughter of Mexican immigrants and began her education in the U.S. as a monolingual Spanish speaker. Professor Márquez-Magaña attended Stanford University as the first member of her extended U.S. family to complete high school. She earned a co-terminal BS/MS degree in Biological Sciences at Stanford, and went on to earn a PhD in Biochemistry at UC Berkeley. She joined the faculty at SF State in 1994 targeting her professional efforts to “giving back.” Currently these efforts are primarily dedicted to achieving the overall mission of the HER lab to "Link Basic Science to Community Health." Towards this end projects in the lab are aimed at using biomedical tools to study how social injustice gets under the skin to cause or worsen disease. This information can then contribute to advocacy efforts to change policies and practices for health equity.
