Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioMy research investigates the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in two key populations: children with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD, and elders with neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. By integrating cognitive science, neuroscience, and computational modeling with cutting-edge functional neuroimaging techniques, I aim to uncover the neurocognitive processes that shape both typical and atypical brain development and aging. My research goal is to advance our understanding of the factors contributing to cognitive dysfunction across the lifespan, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Alison Callahan
Research Engineer, Med/BMIR
BioAlison Callahan is an Instructor in the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Clinical Data Scientist in the Stanford Health Care Data Science team led by Nigam Shah. Her current research uses informatics to expand and improve the data available about pregnancy and birth, and to develop and maintain and EHR-derived obstetric database. She is also the co-leader of the OHDSI Perinatal & Reproductive Health (PRHeG) working group. Her work in the SHC Data Science team focuses on developing and implementing methods to assess and identify high value applications of machine learning in healthcare settings.
Alison completed her PhD in the Department of Biology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Her doctoral research focused on developing HyQue, a framework for representing and evaluating scientific hypotheses, and applying this framework to discover genes related to aging. She was also a developer for Bio2RDF, an open-source project to build and provide the largest network of Linked Data for the life sciences. Her postdoctoral work at Stanford applied methodologies developed during her PhD to study spinal cord injury in model organisms and humans in a collaboration with scientists at the University of Miami. -
Michele Calos
Professor of Genetics, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is developing innovative gene and stem cell therapies for genetic diseases, with a focus on gene therapy and regenerative medicine.
We have created novel methods for inserting therapeutic genes into the chromosomes at specific places by using homologous recombination and recombinase enzymes.
We are working on 3 forms of muscular dystrophy.
We created induced pluripotent stem cells from patient fibroblasts, added therapeutic genes, differentiated, and engrafted the cells.
