Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, and by courtesy, of Bioengineering and of Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Krishnan Lab develops bioelectronic devices, tools and systems for closed loop disease management. Our work is divided into the following broad areas:
1. Biohybrid electronics for therapy and sensing: we combine living cells as functional parts of implantable devices, leveraging their ability to produce complex biologic therapeutics in a constitutive or triggerable manner, and their ability to sense their complex dynamic environment. These efforts are focused on developed functional cures for diseases like Type I Diabetes and other conditions requiring the regular infusion of proteins, peptides or antibody drugs.
2. Digital drug release systems for particulate forms of biologic drugs: Many complex protein and peptide drugs are not stable in solution, thereby frustrating the ability to delivery them through pumps and autoinjectors. This need is particularly acute for drugs that need to be administered as emergency rescue therapies, such as glucagon in the context of type 1 Diabetes. We develop implantable, miniaturized microelectromechanical devices that can store particulate (powders, pills) forms of these drugs and release them in a close loop manner based on wireless inputs from sensors.
3. Wearable sensors: Wearables to detect biophysical (temperature, flow, cardiac activity) and biochemical markers of health are gaining importance for closed-loop disease management and personalized medicine. We design hardware for on-chip molecular profiling based on sampling biofluids in noninvasive or minimally invasive formats.
4. New wireless power architectures for implantable bioelectronics: We develop high-power, high-efficiency strongly coupled power harvesting system to power battery-free implant systems. -

Michael Lin
Professor of Neurobiology, of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests are in novel technologies to investigate in vivo biology and improve molecular medicines. These include the use of viral proteases and protease inhibitors to control protein function in vivo, the invention of cofactor-independent photoswitchable proteins for investigating signaling dynamics and controlling gene editing in vivo, the development of fully genetically encoded voltage indicators, and a new approach of treating cancer by rewiring oncogenic pathways to cell ablation.

Emma Lundberg
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Pathology
BioDr. Emma Lundberg is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Pathology at Stanford University and serves at the Director of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas initiative in Sweden, where she is also Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. At the intersection of bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence, her research aims to define the spatiotemporal organization of the human proteome at both cellular and subcellular level. Dr. Lundberg aims to develop integrated models of human cells to elucidate how variations in protein localization patterns influence cellular function, ultimately enabling the simulation of cell behavior and a systems-level understanding of how biological information is spatially encoded. The Lundberg Lab is responsible for creating the Subcellular Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database (https://www.proteinatlas.org/). Dr. Lundberg is dedicated to building virtual cell models to simulate cell behavior, and is passionate about engaging the public in her work through citizen science games and computational challenges.
Dr. Lundberg holds a Master’s degree in Bioengineering and a PhD in Biotechnology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She has served as Secretary General of the Human Proteome Organization, and is actively involved in advisory roles for numerous open-access databases and cell mapping efforts such as the CZI AI Virtual Cell, Human Cell Atlas consortium, UniProt db, Reactome db, Human Proteome Project and various pharma and biotech companies. As a token of her leadership skills and advocate for open science, she was twice recognized as top 10 under 40 for future leaders in biopharma and omics.
