Ron Dror
Associate Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and of Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My lab?s research focuses on computational biology, with an emphasis on 3D molecular structure. We combine two approaches: (1) Bottom-up: given the basic physics governing atomic interactions, use simulations to predict molecular behavior; (2) Top-down: given experimental data, use machine learning to predict molecular structures and properties. We collaborate closely with experimentalists and apply our methods to the discovery of safer, more effective drugs.

Shaul Druckmann
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research goal is to understand how dynamics in neuronal circuits relate and constrain the representation of information and computations upon it. We adopt three synergistic strategies: First, we analyze neural circuit population recordings to better understand the relation between neural dynamics and behavior, Second, we theoretically explore the types of dynamics that could be associated with particular network computations. Third, we analyze the structural properties of neural circuits.

Justin Du Bois
Henry Dreyfus Professor in Chemistry and Professor, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Bio Research and Scholarship
Research in the Du Bois laboratory spans reaction methods development, natural product synthesis, and chemical biology, and draws on expertise in molecular design, molecular recognition, and physical organic chemistry. An outstanding goal of our program has been to develop C?H bond functionalization processes as general methods for organic chemistry, and to demonstrate how such tools can impact the logic of chemical synthesis. A second area of interest focuses on the role of ion channels in electrical conduction and the specific involvement of channel subtypes in the sensation of pain. This work is enabled in part through the advent of small molecule modulators of channel function.
The Du Bois group has described new tactics for the selective conversion of saturated C?H to C?N and C?O bonds. These methods have general utility in synthesis, making possible the single-step incorporation of nitrogen and oxygen functional groups and thus simplifying the process of assembling complex molecules. To date, lab members have employed these versatile oxidation technologies to prepare natural products that include manzacidin A and C, agelastatin, tetrodotoxin, and saxitoxin. Detailed mechanistic studies of metal-catalyzed C?H functionalization reactions are performed in parallel with process development and chemical synthesis. These efforts ultimately give way to advances in catalyst design. A long-standing goal of this program is to identify robust catalyst systems that afford absolute control of reaction selectivity.
In a second program area, the Du Bois group is exploring voltage-gated ion channel structure and function using the tools of chemistry in combination with those of molecular biology, electrophysiology, microscopy and mass spectrometry. Much of this work has focused on studies of eukaryotic Na and Cl ion channels. The Du Bois lab is interested in understanding the biochemical mechanisms that underlie channel subtype regulation and how such processes may be altered following nerve injury. Small molecule toxins serve as lead compounds for the design of isoform-selective channel modulators, affinity reagents, and fluorescence imaging probes. Access to toxins and modified forms thereof (including saxitoxin, gonyautoxin, batrachotoxin, and veratridine) through de novo synthesis drives studies to elucidate toxin-receptor interactions and to develop new pharmacologic tools to study ion channel function in primary cells and murine pain models. -

Seraina A Dual
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
Bio Seraina A. Dual is a postodoctoral fellow at the departments of Radiology at Stanford Medicine and Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, mentored by Prof. Doff McElHinney, Prof. Daniel Ennis, and Prof. Alison Marsden. She graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) in Mechanical Engineering, a master's degree at ETH Zurich in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in robotics and biomedical application with Prof. Roger Gassert, and her Dr. of science at ETH Zurich in Mechanical Engineering with Prof. Mirko Meboldt.

Florian Dubost
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biomedical Data Sciences
Bio My research objectives are focused on the development of artificial intelligence technologies for neurology research. My graduate training revolved around medical engineering and offered me a multidisciplinary advanced education in computer science, physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry. As I was progressing towards the start of my PhD, I decided to develop my expertise in machine learning? a type of artificial intelligence?and neurology, working for example on the automatic classification of fMRI signals of the auditory cortex under the supervision of Dr. Takerkart during my studies in Centrale Marseille, France. In Germany, I strengthened my expertise in machine learning in Prof. Navab's chair and developed and published an automated method for the segmentation of medical images based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo. During my PhD in the Netherlands, I focused on deep learning and neurology and developed methods for weakly supervised learning, regression neural networks, and brain lesion detection and quantification from MRI. One of my major contribution is my work on the automated quantification and detection of enlarged perivascular spaces?a type of brain lesion related to cerebral small vessel disease. During my PhD, I visited Prof. Rost group at MGH, Harvard Medical School, to strengthen my expertise in neurology research, and developed and published deep learning registration methods for clinical brain MRI. I am now doing my postdoctoral training in Prof. Daniel Rubin's group at Stanford with the additional supervision of the neurologist Prof. Lee-Messer. I am developing deep learning methods to detect and predict seizures from EEG and video recordings of epileptic patients.
