Dr. Jennifer Brophy's lab develops technologies that enable the genetic engineering of plants and their associated microbes with the goal of driving innovation in agriculture for a sustainable future. The Brophy lab's work is focused in synthetic biology and the reprogramming of plant development for enhanced environmental stress tolerance.
Dr. Sanmi (Oluwasanmi) Koyejo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University and spends time at Google as a part of the Brain team. Dr. Koyejo was previously an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in developing the principles and practice of trustworthy machine learning, focusing on applications to neuroscience and healthcare. Dr. Koyejo completed his Ph.D.
Dr. Goldstein-Piekarski directs the Computational Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Sleep Laboratory (CoPsyN Sleep Lab) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine and PI within the Sierra-Pacific Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) at the Palo Alto VA. She received her PhD in 2014 at the University of California, Berkeley where she studied the consequences of sleep on emotional brain function.
Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Primary Care and Population Health and, by courtesy, in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health. He is also affiliated with the Department of Biomedical Data Science, Department of Health Policy, King Center for Global Development, and the Stanford Centers for Population Health Sciences, Innovation in Global Health, and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Imaging.
Dr. Juliet Knowles is Assistant Professor in Neurology at Stanford. Dr. Knowles is a physician-scientist who provides clinical care for children with epilepsy and leads a lab team conducting basic, translational and clinical research on pediatric epilepsy. She completed her M.D. and Ph.D. in Neurosciences at Stanford University, followed by residency training in Pediatrics and Child Neurology at Stanford, where she also served as Chief Resident. Following clinical fellowship training in Pediatric Epilepsy, Dr.
Dr. Ian Chen's research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of valvular heart disease using a variety of imaging, computational, machine learning, stem cell-based, and next-generation sequencing tools, with the long-term goal to translate mechanistic findings into personalized therapies for patients.
Dr. Raya Saab is a Professor at the Department Pediatrics, Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplant at Stanford. She is currently section chief of Pediatric Oncology, and her clinical expertise is in pediatric sarcoma and retinoblastoma. Dr. Saab's laboratory research aims to understand oncogenic pathways involved in tumor progression and invasion to identify novel therapeutic targets, focusing on the pediatric soft tissue tumor rhabdomyosarcoma.
Dr. Wu Liu is an associate professor and clinical medical physicist at Department of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. He was born in Beijing, China. He received B.S. degree in Astronomy from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China and M.S. degree in Astrophysics from Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. He obtained his M.S. degree in Computer Science and Ph.D. degree in Medical Physics (2007) from University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA. He then completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford University.
Dr. Andres Cardenas focuses on studying how environmental exposures influence epigenetic programming, health and disease from the prenatal period to aging. The goal of Dr. Cardenas's lab is to find epigenetic biomarkers of environmental exposures, health and disease susceptibility for prevention purposes.
Dr. Jonas Cremer is an Assistant Professor in Biology. He is interested in the physiology and growth of prokaryotes. Dr. Cremer studied physics and biophysics in Munich. He was a postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Diego. Before joining Stanford, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen.
Dr. Priscilla Yang earned her PhD in Bio-organic Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Following postdoctoral training in viral immunology at Scripps Research, she started her independent career at Harvard Medical School, where her laboratory combined chemical and pharmacological approaches to address fundamental and translational problems in virology.
Dr. Wei Gu is Assistant Professor of Pathology at Stanford University was trained as a physician, engineer, and scientist. He pioneered technologies in cell-free DNA 'liquid biopsy' testing, CRISPR diagnostics, clinical metagenomic sequencing, non-invasive prenatal testing, and COVID diagnostics.
