Houri Esmaeilkhanian
Affiliate, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioDr. Esmaeilkhanian is an accomplished medical doctor who graduated from Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) in 2018. Her passion for ophthalmology ignited during her medical studies, leading her to a focused research career in this field. After earning her degree, she dedicated her efforts to serving underprivileged communities while continuing her research at the Eye and Ear Research Institute of IUMS. In 2021, she advanced to the Doheny Eye Institute at UCLA, working in Prof. Vas Sadda’s lab, where she made significant contributions to research on diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), further honing her clinical expertise. In March 2023, Dr. Esmaeilkhanian joined Byers Eye Institute, pioneering treatments for corneal injuries using innovative stem cell therapies and hydrogels. Additionally, she plays a crucial role in collaborative clinical studies involving the first FDA-approved AI device for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy impacting patient care in both the Bay Area and underserved regions.

Aryan Esmaeili
Instructor (Affiliated), Psych/Public Mental Health & Population Sciences
BioMy research bridges Veteran mental health, brain injury, and computational neuroscience through the development of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and real-world data methods to improve cognitive and rehabilitation outcomes among high-risk Veteran populations. My work focuses on the intersection of traumatic brain injury (TBI), neurodegeneration, substance use disorders, and psychiatric comorbidities, with an emphasis on understanding heterogeneous cognitive trajectories among Veterans. At the C-BRAIN Lab, I collaborate on computational approaches that integrate multimodal electronic health record (EHR) data, neuropsychological assessments, clinical narratives, and longitudinal health outcomes to better characterize cognitive impairment and recovery processes. My current research develops AI/ML phenotyping methods to distinguish potentially reversible cannabis-related cognitive impairment from progressive neurodegenerative disorders using large-scale Veterans Health Administration (VHA) data.
My long-term research goal is to advance precision rehabilitation and cognitive health strategies for Veterans with complex neurological and psychiatric conditions, including TBI and spinal cord injury (SCI). By combining computational neuroscience, causal inference methods, and patient-centered outcomes research, I aim to identify high-risk individuals earlier, improve cognitive outcome measurement, and inform more effective rehabilitation and mental health care strategies within and beyond the VA healthcare system. -
Flint Espil
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Flint Espil researches the etiology and treatment of tic disorders (including Tourette’s), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. He is interested in how psychosocial factors, the environment, and underlying brain circuitry influence treatment outcomes among individuals seeking treatment. He is also exploring ways to adapt and implement evidence-based mental health approaches in community settings. He is currently collaborating with community-based organizations in East Palo Alto to improve access to care for youth in school settings.
