Hector Fabio Bonilla
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Infectious Diseases
BioAs a young physician at Louisiana State University, Dr. Bonilla focused on the Clinical Management of HIV/AIDS and HCV, two neglected and stigmatized diseases for which effective therapies were in their infancy. While learning the clinical aspects of the two diseases, Dr. Bonilla saw a need to create and organize a support community to promote understanding and management of the conditions. Subsequently, he went to Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio, and he continued his work where he specialized in HIV/HCV as well as in Infectious Diseases Clinical Practice. In addition to teaching medical residents and students, Dr. Bonilla participated in numerous clinical trials and developed clinical research projects. Furthermore, he led the Infection Renal Transplant Program, HIV and HCV clinics, and he participated in several cooperative studies with Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Bonilla’s interest in academia led him to the University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he was an Assistant Professor, Clinician, and Medical Educator in the Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases. Due to his interest in cytokines and immunological responses, Dr. Bonilla became a researcher at ImmunoScience Inc., a biotechnology company in California that works to develop a therapeutic HIV vaccine. Dr. Bonilla’s experience of treating HIV/HCV combined with his interest in inflammatory response is the driving force behind his desire to understand ME/CFS. Dr. Bonilla is a strong patient advocate, and he believes in integrated care—care in which physicians communicate and coordinate efforts to deliver the best medical outcome for patients. His ME/CFS patients are his inspiration, and he is committed to continuing research to seek answers to their health challenges.

These advancements include enhancing routine imaging exams to help promote physical function, quality of life, and health span in our patients. Because the worldwide population of people > 60 years of age is projected to double by 2050, there is a crucial need for improvements in the accurate and efficient management of derangements associated with biological aging, including osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and visceral adiposity.
Dr. Boutin is a leader in the field of musculoskeletal imaging. He has served as the Chair of the Musculoskeletal Imaging Program Committee for the largest medical meeting in the world (RSNA) and is the President of the Society of Academic Bone Radiologists. Core professional values include an emphasis on outstanding quality, compassion, safety, and integrity.
Dr. Boutin was introduced to Orthopaedics at an early age by his father and older brother -- both orthopaedists. After earning undergraduate and graduate degrees at Stanford University, Dr. Boutin completed advanced fellowship training in Musculoskeletal Imaging at the University of California, San Diego, and worked on the faculty at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Boutin is dedicated to excellence in musculoskeletal imaging. Dr. Boutin has written over 100 peer-reviewed articles and textbook chapters. He has also served as Guest Editor for 2 volumes of the 'Orthopaedic Clinics of North America', and volumes of ‘Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology’. Dr. Boutin also has served for many years as a Peer Reviewer for premier radiology journals.
Dr. Boutin is a popular invited lecturer for Continuing Medical Education Courses, such as those at the annual meetings of the 'Radiological Society of North America', the 'International Skeletal Society', the 'Arthroscopy Association of North America', the 'American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons', and the 'International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine'.

Daniel L. Bowling, PhD
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioAs a translational neuroscientist, my research aims to integrate music neuroscience, therapy, and technology to advance new diagnostics and treatments for mental health disorders, with a particular focus on mood, anxiety, and reward. My approach is rooted in the biology of vocal behavior, particularly its functions in emotional regulation, communication, and social connection.
I earned my PhD in Neurobiology from Duke University in 2012 for work on the biological bases of emotion in musical tonality. Following this, I completed postdoctoral work at the University of Vienna on the neurophysiology of group singing and rhythmic entrainment. In 2019, I started an instructorship in translational psychiatry at Stanford Medicine, focusing on auditory-vocal processing in individuals with autism and digital music-based interventions for depression and anxiety.
My work has been supported by awards from the NIMH (K01), the Austrian Science Fund (Lise Meitner Fellowship), the University of Vienna's Faculty of Life Sciences (Young Investigator Grant), and Stanford's Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute (Seed Grant). I have authored over 40 scientific articles in journals including Science, PNAS, Molecular Psychiatry, Translational Psychiatry, PLoS Biology, Trends in Cognitive Science, and Physics of Life Reviews—aiming to advance a rational framework for understanding music's role in human biology as a foundation for applying its effects to improve human health. -
