Dr. Sarah Bowling is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, and is an Affiliate Member of the BASE Initiative. Sarah carried out her PhD at Imperial College London, where her work focused on understanding the mechanisms and roles of cell competition during early mammalian development. For her postdoctoral research, Sarah moved to Boston Children's Hospital and the Harvard Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology.

Dr. Tobias Lanz is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection and the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford. His research focuses on B cell biology in neuroimmunological diseases and rheumatic diseases with neurological manifestations. He uses high-throughput screening technologies, and methods from structural and cell biology to identify new autoantigens and to understand how certain self-reactive B cells escape tolerance mechanisms.

Dr. Valerie Chock's research interests include:

• Neurological monitoring in critically ill infants
• Altered hemodynamics in neonates, especially in relation to prematurity, congenital heart disease, and central nervous system injury
• Determination of the hemodynamic significance and effects of a patent ductus arteriosus in the preterm infant
• Utilizing NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) and other technologies for improved monitoring in the NICU

Dr. Andrea Montanari is a Professor in Statistics and Mathematics at Stanford University. He received a Laurea degree in Physics in 1997, and a Ph.D. in Physics in 2001 (both from Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy). He has been post-doctoral fellow at Laboratoire de Physique Théorique de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure (LPTENS), Paris, France, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, USA. From 2002 to 2010 he was Chargé de Recherche (with Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS) at LPTENS.

Dr. Mark Kasevich's research interests include:

• Development of quantum-optimal imaging protocols and instruments, including high speed fluorescence lifetime microscopy;
• Multipass electron microscopy, and multipass Raman microscopy;
• Quantum sensing and networks, including development of networked entangled state atomic clocks and interferometers.

Dr. Laura Gwilliams is jointly appointed between Stanford Psychology, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Stanford Data Science. Her work is focused on understanding the neural representations and operations that give rise to speech comprehension in the human brain. To do so, she brings together insight from neuroscience, linguistics and machine learning, and takes advantage of recording techniques that operate at distinct spatial scales (MEG, ECoG and Neuropixels).

Dr. Antonio Omuro, MD, is the chair of the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University and the Joseph D. Grant Professor and Professor of Neurology.

Dr. Xiaojie Qiu is an assistant professor at the Department of Genetics, the BASE program, and the Department of Computer Science (Courtesy) at Stanford. Dr. Qiu’s Ph.D. work at the University of Washington with Dr. Cole Trapnell made substantial contributions to the field of single-cell genomics, exemplified by the development of Monocle 2 and Monocle 3, which can accurately and robustly reconstruct complex developmental trajectories from scRNA-seq data. In his post-doc at Whitehead Institute with Dr. Jonathan Weissman, Dr.

Dr. Biondo Biondi and his students devise new algorithms to improve the imaging of active and passive seismic data. Images obtained from seismic data are the primary source of information on the structural and stratigraphic complexities in Earth's subsurface and on many subsurface dynamic processes. These images are constructed by processing seismic wavefields recorded at the Earth's surface and generated by either active-source (e.g., vibroseis trucks) experiments or by natural (e.g., ocean waves) and anthropogenic (e.g., vehicle traffic) sources.

Born in France, Dr. Brice Gaudilliere studied Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique before completing an MD-PhD degree from the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program and a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University (Dr. Garry Nolan laboratory). Research in the Gaudilliere lab combines high parameter mass cytometry (suspension and imaging mass cytometry) with other proteomics approaches to study how the human immune system responds and adapts to physiological or pathological stressors.
