Stella Hartono
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
BioStella Hartono, MD PhD is a board-certified allergy/immunology physician and clinical researcher. She specializes in diagnosing and treating immunology and allergic conditions, with a focus on immunodeficiency, immune dysregulation, hyper eosinophilia, and pet allergies.
Dr. Hartono’s clinical research focuses on the role of age-associated B cells in vaccine response and the aging immune system. She is also interested in improving diagnosis and treatment options for patients with CVID (common variable immunodeficiency) and SAD (specific antibody deficiency). She has published her original research in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at national conferences, including annual meetings for the Clinical Immunology Society and the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, as well as international conferences, including annual meeting for the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Dr. Hartono is a member of the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, the Clinical Immunology Society, and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. -

BioMy research includes developing custom mathematical models and algorithms to comprehensively simulate the biophysics underlying brain dynamics. These models are then used to simulate the detailed blood flow, volume, and oxygenation changes that accompany neural activity with a focus on detailed, realistic microvascular geometry to predict the impact of hemodynamic states and vascular structure on fMRI signals (for BOLD and non-BOLD sequences). This interdisciplinary work includes advances in mathematics, biophysics, neuroscience, and computer science to enable simulations of vascular structures orders of magnitude larger than previously possible in only a few hours.
These advancements have led to the quantification of many fMRI biases previously overlooked or undervalued. This includes the geometric blurring by the capillary bed between the site of neurovascular coupling and the venous response, ultimately measured by BOLD. Moreover, the microvascular blood volume at resting-state gave a non-neuronal explanation for the mid-cortex “bump” observed in layer-fMRI BOLD signals. This tool also proposed mechanistic explanations underlying the BOLD frequency nonlinearity observed during oscillatory stimulus. In non-BOLD acquisitions, these tools discovered artifacts in IntraVoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) and VAscular Space Occupancy (VASO) signals caused by vascular structural and flow asymmetries and velocity heterogeneity which help explain discrepancies in experimental findings with these methods.

Earth Hasassri, MD
Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
BioDr. Earth Hasassri is an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development at Stanford University School of Medicine. He has a private practice in Menlo Park and teaches medical students, residents, and fellows at Stanford University School of Medicine. In his private practice, he specializes in seeing children and adults with complex psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, functional neurological disorders, those with epilepsy, and other neuropsychiatric conditions. His interests are caring for individuals who suffer from medical conditions at the interface of medicine and psychiatry.
Prior to medical school, Dr. Hasassri graduated with dual bachelor's degrees in neurophysiology and psychology at the University of California San Diego, where he performed research on sleep medicine. He earned his medical degree from the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine where he did research in clinical epidemiology. Dr. Hasassri completed his residency in general psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospitals & Clinics, during which he was awarded an Area of Distinction in Clinical Neuroscience for his work in applying neuroscientific principles in his clinical work in those with brain cancer, dementia, neurodevelopmental disorders, and other neuropsychiatric conditions. Dr. Hasassri is dual board certified in adult psychiatry and in child and adolescent psychiatry through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, a member Board of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
