Dr. Fernando Boada is a Professor of Radiology and Associate Chair for Basic Science Translational Research at Stanford University Medical School. He joined Stanford in 2021 after being Professor of Radiology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery at New York University Medical School and the Director of the Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research. Prior to joining NYU in 2012, Dr. Boada directed the MR Research Center (MRRC) at the University of Pittsburgh for ten years.
Dr. Fernando Alarid-Escudero is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. He obtained his Ph.D. in Health Decision Sciences from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. His research focuses on developing statistical and decision-analytic models to identify optimal prevention, control, and treatment policies and conducting cost-effectiveness analyses to address a wide range of public health problems. He has also developed novel methods to quantify the value of future research. Dr.
Dr. Feng Vankee Lin is a leader in research on brain aging and dementia. Dr. Lin's career has been devoted to understanding the neural mechanisms involved in brain aging and brain plasticity, with a special focus on early detection and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Her research approach integrates principles and findings from cognitive theory, clinical neuroscience, and computational neuroscience. This approach is complemented by Dr.

Talk Title: Activation mechanism, G protein coupling and structure-based drug discovery of the calcium-sensing receptor
Event: The 4th International Symposium on the Calcium Sensing Receptor (CaSR) - Feng was among the 10 speakers that received the ASBMR/NIH Travel Award at the event.
Dr. Feliks Kogan's research is focused on the development and clinical translation of novel quantitative and molecularly specific imaging technologies geared toward detection of disease at the earliest causative stages. Specifically, he is motivated to study the causes and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal disorders, which have a large physical and financial impact but remain poorly understood. Research projects include development of:
Dr. Fatima Rodriguez, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine and (by courtesy) the Stanford Prevention Research Center. She received her MD and MPH from Harvard University and completed residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Rodriguez arrived at Stanford University in 2014, where she completed a cardiovascular medicine fellowship and served as Chief Fellow. She specializes in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, lipid disorders, and cardiovascular risk assessment in high-risk populations.
