Dr. Akshay Chaudhari is an Assistant Professor of research in the Integrative Biomedical Imaging Informatics at Stanford (IBIIS) section in the Department of Radiology. His primary research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and medical imaging. Dr. Chaudhari graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in Bioengineering in 2012. He completed his Ph.D.
Joseph M. DeSimone is the Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Professor of Translational Medicine and Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. He holds appointments in the Departments of Radiology and Chemical Engineering with courtesy appointments in the Department of Chemistry and in Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
The Stanford Interventional Radiology Translational Theranostics (SIRTT) lab, under Dr. Alexander Vezeridis, is developing next generation therapies using minimally invasive image-guided approaches.
Dr. Grant Rotskoff's research focuses on theoretical and computational approaches to "mesoscale" biophysics. Many of the cellular phenomena that we consider the hallmarks of living systems occur at the scale of hundreds or thousands of proteins. Processes like the self-assembly of organelle-sized structures, the dynamics of cell division, and the transduction of signals from the environment to the machinery of the cell are not macroscopic phenomena—they are the result of a fluctuating, nonequilibrium dynamics.
Dr. Surbhi Sidana specializes in the treatment of plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and related disorders. Her research focuses on the development of novel therapeutic approaches, biomarkers and management of treatment toxicity in this field. Dr. Sidana's expertise includes blood and marrow transplantation and CAR-T cell therapy.
Dr. Danny Chou's research program integrates concepts of chemical biology, protein engineering and structure biology to design new therapeutic leads and generate probes to study biological processes. A key focus of the Chou lab is insulin, an essential hormone in our body to reduce blood glucose levels. The lab generates synthetic libraries of insulin analogs to select for chemical probes, and investigates natural insulin molecules (e.g. from the venom of fish-hunting cone snails!) to develop novel therapeutic candidates. Dr.
Dr. Vipul Sheth is a board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologist with Stanford Health Care Radiology. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Radiology, Division of Body MRI at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Xiaojing Gao hopes to provide answers to the question of how to design biological systems as “smart medicine” that sense patients’ states, process the information, and respond accordingly. To realize this vision, Dr.
Dr. Gary Darmstadt's research focuses on advancing child health and development in low resource settings and advancing gender equality and health globally. His research spans intervention development and introduction as well as processes of scaling up delivery of innovations in developing countries.
Dr. Elizabeth Mormino's research program focuses on combining imaging and genetics to predict cognitive trajectories over time, and the integration of novel PET scans to better understand human aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
