Wei Gu
September 30, 2024
Tumor classification and deconvolution using enriched methylomes 
The Gu Lab works on methylation classification within the area of molecular pathology. Dr. Gu has pioneered technologies in cell-free DNA 'liquid biopsy' testing, CRISPR diagnostics, clinical metagenomic sequencing, non-invasive prenatal testing, and COVID diagnostics..

Melody Smith
October 7, 2024
Preclinical and clinical investigation of allogeneic CAR T cells 
The Smith Lab focuses on investigations of the biology of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to improve the efficacy and safety of this therapy (1) by investigating donor and off-the-shelf CAR T cells in mouse models and (2) by assessing mechanisms for the impact of the intestinal microbiome on CAR T cell response.

Chrystal Botham - Grant Writing Academy
October 14, 2024
The grant landscape: Navigating grants and reviews
Dr. Crystal Botham is the inaugural director of the Stanford Biosciences Grant Writing Academy & Office of Pediatric Research Development. The Grant Writing Academy (founded in 2014) aims to center joy and belonging in grant writing and beyond. A core program is an intensive 8-week Proposal Bootcamp, which was honored with an Innovations in Research Education Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges. The Bootcamp supports grant writers (graduate students, postdocs, faculty, etc.) through weekly meetings with trained Grant Coaches to impart grantspersonship skills and conduct peer review.

Laura Prolo
October 21, 2024
Lessons learned from training to academics 
The Prolo Lab focuses on advancing and applying cutting-edge molecular technologies for the diagnosis, characterization and treatment of children with brain tumors.

Nicholas Altemose
October 28, 2024
Long-read sequencing methods for studying genome organization, evolution, and function
The Altemose Lab develops new experimental and analytical tools to study how chromatin proteins organize and regulate complex regions of the human genome.

Charlotte Herber
November 4, 2024
Tips & resources for financial health for students
Charlotte is an MSTP and Neuroisciences IDP student in the Liocomo lab, where she studies how aging impacts the circuits that support learning and memory.

Irogue Igbinosa
November 11, 2024
RCR Session
The Igbinosa Lab focus includes iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, severe maternal morbidity and mortality, and health equity. Dr. Igbinosa is passionate about community-engaged approaches to bridge gaps in evidence-based care for birthing communities and collaborates with local and national policy committees to raise awareness for reproductive justice in maternal health.

Antonio Pagán
January. 6, 2025
Using fish models to understand human tuberculosis
The Pagán Lab studies the regulation of immunity and pathogenesis in tuberculosis (TB). TB is characterized by the formation of multicellular aggregates of immune cells called granulomas. His lab leverages powerful genetics and imaging capabilities of genetically diverse fish models of TB, which capture key features of human TB granulomas, to address fundamental questions in mycobacterial pathogenesis and granuloma immunobiology.

Neir Eshel
January 13, 2025
Dopamine, acetylcholine, and the neural circuits of motivation
The Eshel Lab (the Stanford Translational Addiction and Aggression Research Lab (www.staarlab.com) uses of optogenetic, electrophysiological, neuroimaging, and behavioral approaches to probe the neural circuits of reward processing, decision making, and social behavior.

Trung Hoang Minh Pham
January 27, 2025
Macrophage-mediated tissue immunity and immunophysiology in health and disease. 
The Pham Lab employs mouse models to uncover mechanisms of macrophage-mediated tissue immunity and immunophysiology in infectious and inflammatory disease.

Shannon Yan
