The overarching goal of Dr. Keller’s Laboratory (kellerlab.stanford.edu) is to improve brain stimulation treatment for neurological and psychiatric disease. Specifically, his lab seeks to improve Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and other brain stimulation techniques by better understanding the fundamental principles of human brain plasticity and building trans-diagnostic real-time monitoring platforms for personalized brain stimulation.
Dr. Corinne Beinat completed her PhD in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Sydney in 2014 focusing on the development of novel small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of neurological disease. She then completed her postdoctoral training with Dr. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir in radiochemistry and molecular imaging before joining the department as an Instructor in 2019 and then as an Assistant Professor in 2022.
