Hans-Christoph Becker, MD, FSABI, FSCCT
Clinical Professor, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMyocardial bridges (MB) with associated upfront atherosclerotic lesions are common findings on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Abnormal septal wall motion in exercise echocardiography (EE) may to be associated with MB. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is considered the gold standard for the detection of MB. We investigate whether CTA is comparable to IVUS for the assessment of MB and upstream plaques in symptomatic patients with suspicion for MB raised by EE.

Corinne Beinat
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe focus of my research is to develop novel imaging and treatment strategies to detect and better manage cancer. This approach relies first on the identification and validation of molecular targets and biomarkers that are linked with underlying the underlying biology driving the initiation and progression of cancers. We then develop novel small molecule based radiotracers to monitor fundamental molecular and cellular processes occurring in living subjects using positron emission tomography (PET) with the goal of improving cancer diagnosis and management. We additionally develop novel peptide based theragnostic agents for stratification of patients with high receptor expression, treatment with targeted radionuclide therapy, and subsequent monitoring of treatment response.

Miles Berger
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
BioI am a neuroanesthesiologist and translational human neuroscientist. Clinically, I care for patients undergoing brain and spine surgery, and have an interest in optimizing anesthesia care (and postoperative cognitive outcomes) for older surgical patients.
My research team studies mechanisms of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (such as delirium) in older adults, the relationship between anesthetic brain sensitivity (as measured by EEG) and preclinical/prodromal age-related changes in brain structure and function, and mechanisms by which the APOE4 allele leads to increased Alzheimer's Disease risk and neurocognitive decline. Together with collaborators, we use a transdisciplinary approach combining molecular/cellular assays (including ELISAs, proteomics, metabolomics, and flow cytometry) on pre- and post-operative CSF and plasma samples from older surgical surgical patients, functional and structural MRI neuroimaging, pre- and intra-operative EEG recordings, genetics (and epigenetics), and pre and postoperative delirium screening and cognitive testing. Overall, our hope is that the combination of these different methods will allow us to obtain insights into the mechanisms of perioperative neurocognitive disorders that could not be obtained by any single method alone.
Our group values mentorship, and we are happy to talk with prospective undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral students with an interest in our work. -

Y. Katherine Bianco
Clinical Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Maternal Fetal Medicine
BioMy clinical interest in pregnancies complicated with birth defects has led my underlying research interests in genomic abnormalities in the human trophoblast carrying to faulty placentation. The latter began with initial work during K12 and KO8 funding. I took a great interest in the human placenta as it carries potential advantages over other tissues sources: first, this highly metabolically active organ is the potential source of many transcripts. Second, the placenta forms at a very early stage of embryonic development, potentially allowing detection of primary alterations as compared to secondary changes that may mask the underlying causal phenomena. Finally, studying early placentation may provide targets for development of novel molecular approaches, such as up-regulate or down-regulate genes, the protein products of which could potentially serve as molecular surrogates for diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complication such as miscarriages, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension and intrauterine growth retardation. This work has led to the first Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18, trisomy 13 cell lines established from human placentas making it possible to apply gene editing in the early stages of human trophoblast development.
As my primary clinical responsibility involves treating patients needing medical care and support through their high risk pregnancies, I am interested in factors that may impact outcomes, such as prenatal screening and diagnosis, maternal heart conditions, labor and delivery management, and safety approaches for the second stage of labor. In investigating length of labor and approaches to shorten the second stage, I have found methods of improving perinatal outcomes in diverse maternal populations.
With regards to my interest in fetal medicine, I have worked in collaboration with other specialists such as radiologists and pediatric cardiologists utilizing imagining studies to assess and determine successful perinatal care and fetal survival. -
