Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. de Lecea's laboratory uses molecular, optogenetic, anatomical and behavioral methods to identify and manipulate the neuronal circuits underlying brain arousal, with particular attention to sleep and wakefulness transitions. -
Lucy Shapiro - Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Developmental Biology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Shapiro's laboratory question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. -
Lucy O'Brien - Associate Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe O'Brien Lab studies the behaviors of stem cells and their mature progeny to understand how organs remodel and renew. -
Lu Chen - Professor of Neurosurgery and of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe long-term goal of Dr. Chen's research is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation. -
Louise Y. Sun - Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine (Cardiac)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Louise Sun is a Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine and Director of Cardiovascular Research. She is an Adjunct Scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) in Toronto. Prior to this, she was an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Epidemiology, Director of Big Data and Health Bioinformatics Research at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, and a Clinical Research Chair in Big Data and Cardiovascular Outcomes at the University of Ottawa.

Louis Halamek - Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology) and (by courtesy) of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Halamek founded CAPE (the Center for Advanced Pediatric and Perinatal Education), which utilizes simulation-based methodologies and cutting-edge technologies to enhance team performance in the neonatal, pediatric and obstetric domains. -
Lorene Nelson - Associate Professor of Epidemiology & Population Health
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Nelson's research program is focused on the epidemiology and complex etiology of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. -
Longzhi Tan - Assistant Professor of Neurobiology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Longzhi Tan's research lab studies the single-cell 3D genome architectural basis of neurodevelopment and aging by developing the next generation of in vivo multi-omic assays and algorithms, and applying them to the human and mouse cerebellum. -
Lloyd Minor - The Carl & Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the School of Medicine, Vice President for Medical Affairs, Stanford University, Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery and Professor of Neurobiology and of Bioengineering (by courtesy)
Executive Committee MemberDr. Minor is an expert in balance and inner-ear disorders; he has published over 140 articles and chapters and founded a lab focused on vestibular research. -
Livnat Jerby - Assistant Professor of Genetics
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Livnat Jerby's research focuses on multicellular dynamics, as a disease driver and therapeutic avenue, particularly in the context of cancer immunology. In her work, she aims to identify the drivers, molecular underpinnings, and causal structure of multifactorial immune evasion mechanisms, and use this information to identify new and more effective ways to augment and unleash targeted immunity via combinatorial interventions.
