Katherine Travis
Assistant Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics)
Bio Dr. Katherine Travis is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford University. Dr. Travis obtained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Dr. Travis came to Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow to obtain training in clinical neuroscience and translational approaches to intervention. As part of her training, she was awarded a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Her research uses human neuroimaging and behavioral measures to examine the neural bases of early language learning in infants and young children. The goal of her research is to develop therapies and interventions to help promote language learning outcomes in children at-risk for learning disabilities. Currently, she directs an NIH-funded clinical trial that will use diffusion MRI to assess whether there are changes in brain structure following a language intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for preterm infants. -

Keith Van Haren, MD
Assistant Professor of Neurology and of Pediatrics at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research group is dedicated to innovating care for children with degenerative brain disorders. We are particularly focused on genetic and autoimmune disorders that cause damage to the myelin (the fatty insulation around the nerves) of the brain and spinal cord. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (genetic) and multiple sclerosis (autoimmune) are the prototypical examples of degenerative disorders of myelin and are the two disorders we study most intensively.

Alex L. White
Instructor, Pediatrics
Bio Alex is a cognitive neuroscientist interested in visual perception, attention, and reading. He studies those topics with a combination of psychophysics, eye-tracking, fMRI, and computational modeling. He recently discovered that skilled readers can?t recognize two words simultaneously, due to a processing bottleneck in a specific part of the brain?s reading circuitry (White, Palmer, Boynton & Yeatman, PNAS 2019). As a postdoc at Stanford, Alex is studying that part of the brain in more detail, with the goal to explain individual differences in reading ability.

Volker Wiebking
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Stem Cell Transplantation
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I am interested in using state-of-the-art genome editing tools in primary human cells to develop novel treatment approaches for diseases with unmet needs. The Porteus lab has established efficient methods for targeted gene correction in human hematopoietic stem cells which we are using to develop treatments for patients with immunodeficiencies and hematologic diseases. In addition, I am using gene editing of immune cells to develop the next generation of CAR T cells for cancer immunotherapy.
