Dr. Kunal Mukherjee is an assistant professor in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford. He has been an assistant professor in the Materials department at UC Santa Barbara (2016-2020), held postdoctoral appointments at IBM TJ Watson Research Center (2016) and MIT (2015), and worked as a transceiver engineer at Finisar (2009-2010).
Dr. Kristan Staudenmayer received her medical degree at the University of Texas at Southwestern Medical School in 1999, and completed her residency in General Surgery at Parkland Hospital in 2006. During her post-graduate training, she conducted NIH T32-funded research at Harborview Hospital evaluating the effects of innate immunity on trauma. She obtained further training in Trauma and Surgical Critical at San Francisco General Hospital, completing her training in 2008. She was subsequently double-boarded in General Surgery and Surgical Critical Care.
Dr. Konstantina Stankovic is a board-certified, fellowship-trained otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon. She is the Bertarelli Foundation Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. She is also a professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery.
Dr. Kimberley Tolias is a Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. The Tolias laboratory studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern neural circuit formation, plasticity, and repair in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). In particular, the lab investigates how synapses and neural circuits form, remodel, and adapt throughout life to support learning, memory, behavior, and recovery following injury.
The foundation of Dr. Kilian Pohl's laboratory is computational science aimed at identifying biomedical phenotypes improving the mechanistic understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The biomedical phenotypes are discovered by unbiased, machine learning-based searches across biological, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological data.
