Dr. William Allen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
He received his Sc.B. in Applied Mathematics-Biology from Brown University, M.Phil. in Computational Biology from the University of Cambridge, and Ph.D. in Neurosciences from Stanford, where he was co-advised by Karl Deisseroth and Liqun Luo. As a graduate student, he developed tools to map the structure and function of the mammalian brain at a large scale and high resolution, and applied these tools to uncover the neural mechanisms of thirst.
