Dr. Christopher Bennett is a physician scientist and an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Once a basic scientist focused on genetics and genomics, Dr. Bennett’s work for the last several years has focused on large data-set analyses reflective of multiple multi-institutional studies aimed at better understanding how US emergency departments (and emergency physicians) can increase rates of HIV testing for at- risk patients.

Dr. Kim's goal is to identify and understand the pathways that govern organogenesis of the pancreas, a vital organ with endocrine and exocrine functions.

Dr. Ladd's current research interests include the kinematics and forces associated with thumb carpometcarpal (CMC) function and pathology, the anatomy, microstructure, and immunofluorescent characteristics of the thumb CMC joint, pathomechaniics of CMC arthritis, archiving, vitalizing, and innovating medical and surgical knowledge.

The Boettiger lab aims to understand how long-range interactions between non-consecutive parts of the genome are regulated to control gene expression.

Dr. Monje's laboratory studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of postnatal neurodevelopment.

How do glia sculpt neural circuits and how does dysregulation of glia contribute to disease? Glia make up more than half of the cells in the human brain, but we are just beginning to understand the complex and multifactorial role glia play in health and disease. Glia are decidedly dynamic in form and function. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the dynamic nature of glia is imperative to developing novel therapeutic strategies for diseases of the nervous system that involve aberrant gliogenesis.

Dr. Tang's research focuses on finding new ways to treat and prevent non-melanoma skin cancer.

The long-term goal of the Schnitzer lab's research is to advance experimental paradigms for understanding normal cognitive and disease processes at the level of neural circuits, with emphasis on learning and memory processes.

Dr. Melosh's research is focused on developing methods to detect and control chemical processes on the nanoscale, to create materials that are responsive to their local environment.
