Drew Endy
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Hoover Institution and at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe work to strengthen the foundations and expand the frontiers of synthetic biology. Our foundational work includes (i) advancing reliable reuse of bio-measurements and -materials via standards that enable coordination of labor, and (ii) developing and integrating measurement and modeling tools for representing and analyzing living matter at whole-cell scales. Our work beyond the frontiers of current practice includes (iii) bootstrapping biotechnology tools in unconventional organisms (e.g., mealworms, wood fungus, skin microbes), and (iv) exploring the limits of whole-genome recoding and building cells from scratch. We also support strategy and policy work related to bio-safety, security, economy, equity, justice, and leadership.

Daniel Bruce Ennis
Professor of Radiology (Veterans Affairs) and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Cardiac MRI Group seeks to invent and validate methods to quantify cardiac performance. We develop methods to measure cardiac structure (DWI/DTI), function (tagging and DENSE), flow (PC-MRI), and remodeling (diffusion, T1-mapping, fat-water mapping) for pediatrics and adults.
Fundamental to our research is a set of tools for numerically optimizing gradient waveforms, Bloch simulations, and patient-specific 3D-printed cardiovascular structures connected to computer controlled flow pumps. -
Jeffrey A. Feinstein, MD, MPH
Dunlevie Family Professor of Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Professor, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests include (1) computer simulation and modeling of cardiovascular physiology with specific attention paid to congenital heart disease and its treatment, (2) the evaluation and treatment of pulmonary hypertension/pulmonary vascular diseases, and (3) development and testing of medical devices/therapies for the treatment of congenital heart disease and pulmonary vascular diseases.

Gabriel Ferreras Garrucho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioGabriel grew up in Seville, Spain, and earned a BA in Biochemistry and Biotechnology from the University of Seville, where he was introduced to plant molecular biology working on the interplay between flowering signalling and autophagy in Arabidopsis. He then moved to the United Kingdom to do a PhD in Plant Sciences in the University of Cambridge, in the group of Uta Paszkowski, working on the spatio-temporal regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis signalling in rice, followed by a Postdoctoral Researcher position in the same group optimising single-nuclei RNA-sequencing for the mutualism between rice and mycorrhizal fungi. In the Brophy lab, Gabriel is excited to work on the discovery and validation of cell-type-specific enhancers in sorghum using a combination of single-nuclei multi-omics, machine learning methods and high-throughput screens in protoplasts and in planta.
