John W. Day - Professor of Neurology & Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology), of Pediatrics (Genetics) and (by courtesy) of Pathology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

While keeping the patients and families foremost in mind, Dr. John Day's research seeks to: define and understand genetic causes; clarify the molecular and cellular consequences of genetic change; determine the multisystemic features that are underappreciated but clinically significant consequence of these diseases; develop and improve methods for managing and treating each disease.

Carla Pugh - Thomas Krummel Professor

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Carla Pugh is Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also the Director of the Technology Enabled Clinical Improvement (T.E.C.I.) Center. Her clinical area of expertise is Acute Care Surgery. Dr. Pugh obtained her undergraduate degree at U.C. Berkeley in Neurobiology and her medical degree at Howard University School of Medicine. Upon completion of her surgical training at Howard University Hospital, she went to Stanford University and obtained a PhD in Education. She is the first surgeon in the United States to obtain a PhD in Education.

Barbara Block - Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Professor of Marine Sciences, Professor of Oceans and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Barbara A. Block holds the Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Professorship at Stanford University. Her research is focused on how large pelagic fish utilize the open ocean spanning from genomics to biologging. She and her team have pioneered the successful development and deployment of electronic tags on tunas, billfishes and sharks. The combination of lab and field research has led to a rapid increase in the understanding of movement patterns, population structure, physiology and behaviors of pelagic fish and sharks.

Frank Willett - Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Frank Willett is co-director of the Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory. The group develops brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore movement and communication to people with neurological disorders. Recent contributions include handwriting and speech-based BCIs that set new records for communication speed and accuracy in people with paralysis. More broadly, they are interested in computational approaches to understanding brain function and recordings, with a focus on how the human brain represents movement and language.

Bingwei Lu - Professor of Pathology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Bingwei Lu's laboratory is interested in understanding how the diverse neuronal cell types are generated and maintained in the nervous system. They are taking a combined molecular, cellular, genetic, and genomic approach in the model organisms Drosophila and mouse. To study how neuronal diversity is generated, the Lu lab focuses on investigating the mechanisms of asymmetric division of neural stem cell that balances the self-renewal and differentiation potentials of neural stem cells.

Eric Stice - Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health & Population Sciences)

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Eric Stice served as an assistant professor and associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin and as a Senior Research Scientist at Oregon Research Institute before joining the faculty at Stanford University. His research focuses on identifying risk factors that predict onset of eating disorders, obesity, substance abuse, and depression to advance knowledge regarding etiologic processes, including the use of functional neural imaging. He also designs, evaluates, and disseminates prevention and treatment interventions for eating disorders, obesity, and depression.

William Allen - Assistant Professor of Developmental Biology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. William Allen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

He received his Sc.B. in Applied Mathematics-Biology from Brown University, M.Phil. in Computational Biology from the University of Cambridge, and Ph.D. in Neurosciences from Stanford, where he was co-advised by Karl Deisseroth and Liqun Luo. As a graduate student, he developed tools to map the structure and function of the mammalian brain at a large scale and high resolution, and applied these tools to uncover the neural mechanisms of thirst.

Lay Teng Ang - Assistant Professor of Urology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Lay Teng Ang earned her Ph.D. jointly from the University of Cambridge and A*STAR and was subsequently appointed as a Research Fellow and, later, a Senior Research Fellow at the Genome Institute of Singapore. She then moved her laboratory to Stanford University as a Siebel Investigator and Instructor at the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine. The Ang laboratory has been supported by the Siebel Investigatorship, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and other sources.
