Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Svensson Laboratory is dedicated to the discovery of new ligands that can control metabolism. -
Katrin Chua - Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Chua's laboratory is interested in understanding molecular processes that underlie aging and age-associated pathologies in mammals. -
Katrin Andreasson - Edward F. and Irene Thiele Pimley Professor of Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Katrin Andreasson's group is investigating the role that innate immune responses play in the initiation and progression of neurological diseases. Recent advances in human genetics, particularly for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, have highlighted a causal role for a disrupted immune response in disease pathogenesis. An injurious immune response may be a common denominator across many neurological disorders, both acute (brain trauma or stroke) and chronic (epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's for eg.).

Katja G. Weinacht - Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyStudies conducted in the Weinacht lab aim to understand how defects in mitochondrial metabolism and increased oxidative stress lead to impaired hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development. -
Kathryn Moler - Vice Provost and Dean of Research and Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Moler's laboratory builds and operates tools for measuring magnetic fields on small length scales. -
Kathleen Poston - Assistant Professor of Neurology and (by courtesy) of Neurosurgery
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Poston's research interests include the development, validation and application of functional and structural neuroimaging as biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders. -
Kathleen M. Sakamoto - Shelagh Galligan Professor in the School of Medicine
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe overall goal of Dr. Sakamoto's laboratory is to understand the molecular regulation of hematopoiesis and how aberrancies result in diseases of hematopoiesis, including leukemia, bone marrow failure, and myeloproliferative disease. -
Kathleen Horst - Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation Therapy)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Kathleen Horst's primary interests are in breast radiation oncology, especially partial breast irradiation. She is the lead breast radiation oncologist at Stanford Cancer Center. She has ongoing interests in the radiobiology of breast cancer.

Katherine Ferrara - Professor of Radiology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Katherine Ferrara's laboratory has projects spanning all aspects of image-guided drug delivery. Major areas of interest include the fusion of images between ultrasound, PET, MRI and CT, the development of activatable drug delivery vehicles, and the development of molecularly-targeted drug delivery vehicles. Members of the Ferrara laboratory bring expertise in many areas including biomedical engineering, physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, material science, chemistry, and biology.

Karthik Balakrishnan - Associate Professor of Otolaryngology (Head & Neck Surgery)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Karthik Balakrishnan studies ways to improve outcomes of pediatric airway reconstruction for diseases such as laryngotracheal, subglottic and tracheal stenosis, congenital tracheal stenosis and complete tracheal rings, laryngeal clefts, and vocal fold immobility and paralysis. He also examines the same questions for vascular malformations such as lymphatic malformations, venous malformations and hemangiomas.
