Agnieszka Kalinowski
Clinical Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Bio I am a translational physician-scientist focused on studying the role of the immune system in patients with schizophrenia. My work spans careful clinical characterization of patients to understanding mechanisms in basic science model systems, allowing to provide mechanistic understanding to observations in clinical samples. Currently, I'm focused on deciphering the role of the complement system and how the known genetic risk translates into pathophysiological disease mechanisms. I hope that this work will pave the way to novel treatment strategies.

Nicholas Antonios Kalogriopoulos
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Bio Nick's broad research interests are in developing tools and technologies for research and therapeutic applications. Nick obtained a B.S. in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his undergraduate career, he trained with Dr. Paul Sondel, where he worked on preclinical testing of novel immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of neuroblastoma. He obtained a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science with Dr. Pradipta Ghosh, elucidating the structural basis of non-canonical G protein activation by a novel protein family of Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Modulators (GEMs). As a Postdoctoral Researcher with Professor Alice Ting at Stanford University, his current research focuses on developing a new system for programmable and user-controlled cellular behaviors for immuno-oncology applications.

Tahereh Kamali
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Bio Dr. Tahereh Kamali joined Stanford University in September 2019. Her research interests primarily lie in the design of new machine learning techniques for healthcare and developing clinical decision support systems to achieve accurate as well as robust prediction particularly in case of having partially-labeled training data. Her research interests also span the areas of the biomedical signal/image processing, computer vision, intelligent assistive technologies, and affective computing.

Husniye Kantarci
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I am very interested in discovering the signals that glial cells and neurons use to communicate with each other, and understanding how these signals regulate neural function and myelination in the nervous system.

Saswati Karmakar
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Bio Saswati Karmakar obtained her undergraduate degree in Biotechnology at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi. She pursued her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, working on the molecular characterization of pancreatic cancer stem cells and their contribution to cancer initiation and progression. Then, she moved to Stanford University with the National Cancer Institute's F99/K00 award for a postdoctoral position in Monte Winslow's lab. Saswati's current research explores the role of tumor suppressor genes in pancreatic cancer pathogenesis.

Abhinav Kaushik
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sean N Parker Center for Allergy & Asthma Research
Bio Abhinav Kaushik, PhD
Post-Doctoral Scholar
My current position at Stanford involves single cell Mass cytometry (CyTOF), gene expression and DNA methylation data analysis, as well as integrative analysis of single-cell datasets. I am working with a team to standardize the CyTOF data analysis pipeline using different statistical modeling approaches (linear or non-linear, Bayesian inference).
I have a strong experience in analyzing RNAseq, DNAseq and ChIP-seq data analysis. I am a programmer who loves to code with R, C# and perl. My keen interest includes application development for analyzing scientific data using different statistical approaches. However, my work is not restricted to one particular domain and sometimes includes in silico data analysis and algorithm development for solving both genomics and structural biology problems.
I have joined the Nadeau Laboratory at the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy and Asthma Research at Stanford in July 2018. I received my PhD in Bioinformatics from the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, India in 2017. Before joining the Nadeau Laboratory, I worked as a Visiting Researcher in the Pathogen Genomics laboratory at Kings Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia. -
Eric J. Keller
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I am primarily working on developing applied ethics, a practical, ground-up approach to helping clinicians navigate sticky/challenging situations in healthcare. I also study professional cultures in healthcare, i.e., clinician-administration relationships or how does an internist think differently than a general surgeon and how does this affect their behaviors.

Danish Khan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biochemistry
Bio Danish is a postdoctoral research associate at the Brandman and Rohatgi groups at the Dept. of Biochemistry. His research focuses on understanding the mechanism of eukaryotic protein quality control pathways. Before joining Stanford, Danish earned his PhD from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX where he studied chemical inhibition of a lipid signaling protein and discovered a novel heme-binding lipid transfer protein. He also holds a Masters degree in Biotechnology from Banaras Hindu University in India, and a Bachelors degree from Presidency College, Kolkata (University of Calcutta), India. In addition to science, he likes to read about law and intersection of law and technology.

James Michael Kilgour
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dermatology
Bio James grew up in Oxford in the United Kingdom. He graduated from Cardiff University School of Medicine with honours in 2017, and has a BSc in Medical Education. Following graduation, he completed two years as a clinical academic in Dermatology at the University of Oxford, conducting research investigating patient-reported outcome measures and quality of life in patients with Graft-versus-Host-Disease following allogenic stem cell transplant. He has also extensively published in Medical Education, and is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of a novel peer reviewed medical journal targeted at encouraging medical students to publish and peer review.

Christina Kim
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Simultaneous recording and manipulation of neural activity:
I actively pursue the development and application of techniques for all-optical recording and manipulation of neural activity in living animals. During my PhD I developed a microscope capable of performing bulk calcium recording and optogenetic stimulation in freely moving animals (Frame-projected Independent-fiber Photometry). We demonstrated its utility by recording from sparse dopaminergic axon terminals distributed throughout the brain during rewarding versus aversive stimuli, and by recording from up to 7 different brain regions during a social interaction test. Using simultaneous optogenetics and calcium recording, we could then fine-tune the optogenetic stimulation of dopamine neurons to produce activity that mimicked the naturally-occurring response profiles during behavior. This work was published in Nature Methods, and has been patented and licensed to a company that has commercialized the microscope (www.neurophotometrics.com).
