Sandip Biswal, MD

Associate Professor of Radiology (Musculoskeletal Imaging)
Clinical Focus
Diagnostic Radiology, Radiology, Musculoskeletal Imaging, Musculoskeletal Interventional Procedures, Clinical Trials, Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI), Pain Imaging Diagnostics
Research Interests
The management of individuals suffering from chronic pain is unfortunately limited by poor diagnostic tests and therapies. Our research group is interested in 'imaging pain' by using novel imaging techniques to study peripheral nociception and inflammation with the goal of accurately identifying the location of pain generators. We are developing new approaches with positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (PET/MRI) and are currently in clinical trials.

Matthew Bogyo

Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Research Interests
Our lab uses chemical, biochemical, and cell biological methods to study protease function in human disease. Projects include:

1) Design and synthesis of novel chemical probes for serine and cysteine hydrolases.

2) Understanding the role of hydrolases in bacterial pathogenesis and the human parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii.

3) Defining the specific functional roles of proteases during the process of tumorogenesis.

4) In vivo imaging of protease activity

Christopher H. Contag

Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology), Emeritus
Research Interests
We develop and use the tools of molecular imaging to understand oncogenesis, reveal patterns of cell migration in immunosurveillance, monitor gene expression, visualize stem cell biology, and assess the distribution of pathogens in living animal models of human biology and disease. Biology doesn't occur in "a vacuum" or on coated plates--it occurs in the living body and that's were we look for biological patterns and responses to insult.

Katherine Ferrara

Professor of Radiology (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford)
Research Interests
My focus is image-guided drug and gene delivery and I am engaged in the design of imaging devices, molecularly-targeted imaging probes and engineered delivery vehicles, drawing upon my education in biology and imaging physics and more than 20 years of experience with the synthesis and labeling of therapeutic particles. My laboratory has unique resources for and substantial experience in synthetic chemistry and ultrasound, CT, MR and PET imaging.

Chris Garcia

Younger Family Professor and Professor of Structural Biology
Research Interests
Structural and functional studies of transmembrane receptor interactions with their ligands in systems relevant to human health and disease - primarily in immunity, infection, and neurobiology. We study these problems using protein engineering, structural, biochemical, and combinatorial biology approaches.
