Cara Bohon
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests have focused on the neural bases of eating disorders. I am particularly interested in the way emotion and reward is processed in the brain and how that may contribute to eating behavior and food restriction. I hope to eventually translate biological research findings into treatments.

John Boothroyd
Emeritus Faculty, Acad Council, Miscellaneous
BioJohn Boothroyd, Ph.D., is the Burt and Marion Avery Professor of Immunology (Emeritus) in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine. For over 40 years, his group has been focused on dissecting the pathogenesis of parasitic infections, most notably Toxoplasma gondii. In addition to his research, he has also been heavily committed to undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral training, including trainee professional development.
Dr. Boothroyd received his undergraduate degree in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and his PhD in Molecular Biology from Edinburgh University in Scotland. He worked as a scientist in the Immunochemistry and Molecular Biology Department at Wellcome Research Laboratories, UK, before joining the Stanford faculty in 1982 as a member of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. He was Department Chair from 1999-2002 and served as Senior Associate Dean for Research and Training in the School of Medicine from 2002-2005 and Associate Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs for the University from 2018-2024. Dr. Boothroyd has received various awards including being named a Burroughs Wellcome Scholar in Molecular Parasitology in 1986 and an Ellison Medical Foundation Scholar in Global Infectious Diseases in 2002. In 2008 he received the Leuckart Medal from the German Society for Parasitology and in 2016 he was elected to membership in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. All of these awards reflect the creativity and hard work of the many staff, students and post-docs who have worked with him, over 30 of whom are now in independent faculty positions.
Dr. Boothroyd’s research interests have spanned from viruses such as bacteriophage T7 and Foot and Mouth Disease Virus through to protozoan parasites such as Trypanosoma brucei, the cause of African sleeping sickness, and Toxoplasma gondii, a serious pathogen in newborns and individuals who are immunocompromised. At the end of 2024, Dr. Boothroyd transitioned to an Emeritus role at Stanford in order to take up a new position with Schmidt Science Fellows (SSF), an international postdoc training program operated as a partnership between Schmidt Sciences and the Rhodes Trust. In addition to chairing SSF's Academic Council, Dr. Boothroyd is heavily involved in the training and on-going mentoring of the >175 exceptional Fellows supported by SSF. -

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsToward a Scalable Model of Mathematics Professional Development: A Field Study of Preparing Facilitators to Implement the Problem-Solving Cycle
The Problem-Solving Cycle (PSC) model of mathematics professional development encourages teachers to become part of a collaborative and supportive learning community. As they participate in the PSC, teachers think deeply about both mathematics content and instruction, and they explore their instructional practices with their colleagues through the use of video and other classroom artifacts. One iteration of the PSC consists of three interconnected professional development workshops, all organized around a rich mathematical task. During Workshop 1, teachers collaboratively solve the mathematical task and develop plans for teaching it to their own students. Shortly after the workshop, the teachers implement the problem with their own students and their lessons are videotaped. In Workshop 2 teachers explore the role they played in implementing the problem. In Workshop 3 teachers critically examine students’ mathematical reasoning.
The Problem-Solving Cycle model provides a structure for mathematics teachers to work together and share a common mathematical and pedagogical experience. Our previous research suggests that it is a promising model for enhancing teachers’ knowledge and supporting changes in classroom practice.
In our current project, initiated in Fall 2007, we are working with a group of middle school mathematics teachers in a large urban district to foster their leadership capacity, and specifically to prepare them to facilitate the Problem-Solving Cycle. We will provide 2½ years of preparation and support for teachers who have been designated as “mathematics instructional leaders.” These instructional leaders will in turn implement the PSC with the mathematics teachers in their schools. We will document the range and quality of the instructional leaders’ implementation of the PSC. We will also analyze the impact of the professional development process on the mathematical knowledge and classroom teaching of the instructional leaders and the mathematics teachers with whom they work. In addition, we will analyze the impact on their students’ mathematics achievement. By the conclusion of the project, we anticipate that the participating schools will have the infrastructure and capacity to carry out the PSC indefinitely, using their own resources. In addition, the project will produce a highly refined set of PSC facilitation materials—with a strong emphasis on supporting a linguistically and culturally diverse student population—that can be widely disseminated. -
Sarah Bowling
Assistant Professor of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Bowling lab focuses on understanding lineage formation and tissue growth in mammalian development during normal and perturbed embryogenesis. We use a combination of next-generation tools and classical embryological approaches to uncover mechanisms of plasticity and resilience during mammalian embryo development, with the aim of using this knowledge to extend our understanding of regeneration and developmental diseases.

Scott D. Boyd, MD PhD
Stanford Professor of Food Allergy and Immunology and Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to understand the lymphocyte genotype-phenotype relationships in healthy human immunity and in immunological diseases. We apply new technologies and data analysis approaches to this challenge, particularly high-throughput DNA sequencing and single-cell monoclonal antibody generation, in parallel with other functional assays.
