Ross Anderson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Bio Ross graduated from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio in 2007 with a B.S. in Physics (with a concentration in Biophysics) and a minor in Mathematics. He followed on to complete his Ph.D. in the Physiology and Biophysics department at CWRU in 2014 in the laboratory of Dr. Ben Strowbridge studying the role of subthreshold oscillations and persistent activity in the rodent hippocampus, a region of the brain thought to be responsible for short term memory and spatial navigation. He then did postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Cameron McIntyre developing computational models of evoked activity in the motor cortex in response to deep brain stimulation and now is excited to be moving full circle as an electrophysiologist to be developing new technology and therapeutic biomarkers for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease through deep brain stimulation. Outside of the lab, Ross enjoys the great Bay Area outdoors through swimming, running, biking and hiking as well as tinkering with model steam engines, amateur electrics, and printed circuit boards.

Michael Eddy F Belloy
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Bio I have a long-standing interest in brain function and network dynamics in both health and disease. I pursue this interest at the interface between state of the art brain imaging technologies and advanced data modelling. This translates into the investigation of large-scale multimodal datasets that contain information on structural and functional brain properties, genetics, and other biomarker data. More recently, I have developed a strong interest to investigate the genetic underpinnings of neurological disorders and their clinical substrates.
I am currently a post-doc at Stanford university, under the lead of Dr. Michael D Greicius, performing genetics and imaging research into Alzheimer's disease and other complex neurological disorders in humans. My main aims are to identify genetic factors that may be causative to Alzheimer's disease and to determine related endophenotypes from publicly available imaging and biomarker data bases. My current project seeks to unravel differential genetic risk for AD across sub-ethnic groups and by interaction with a patients APOE genotype.
During my phd, supervised by Dr. Marleen Verhoye, Dr. Shella Keilholz and Dr. Georgios A Keliris, I worked on developing dynamic resting state functional (rsf)MRI in mice, which lead to the first observation of mouse Quasi-Periodic patterns, and related applications for Alzheimer's disease research in rodents. I still have an ongoing interest in dynamic rsfMRI research. -
Russell Wade Chan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Bio Russell Wade Chan is a postdoctoral research fellow of Neurology at Stanford University. Dr. Chan received his Bachelor?s degree in Biomedical Engineering and Doctoral degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Hong Kong. He is a Junior Fellow of International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM). His research interest is dissecting brain functional networks using neuromodulation (optogenetics) and neuroimaging (functional MRI) methods.
