Anna Booman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioAnna Booman, PhD, MS is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine. She is also affiliated with the Dunlevie Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center for Discovery, Innovation, and Clinical Impact. She conducts perinatal pharmacoepidemiology research through the use of large observational datasets, such as the Merative MarketScan Database, and complex epidemiologic methods.
Dr. Booman received her BS in Mathematical Biology (minor: Computer Science) from the College of William & Mary, her MS in Computational Biology & Quantitative Genetics from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and her PhD in Epidemiology from the Oregon Health & Science University School of Public Health. Her research has spanned many areas of perinatal epidemiology, including a focus on twin gestations, rare genetic disorders, gestational weight gain, and insurance discontinuity in pregnancy. -

Burt and Marion Avery Professor of Immunology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are intereseted in the interaction between the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii and its mammalian host. We use a combination of molecular and genetic tools to understand how this obligate intracellular parasite can invade almost any cell it encounters, how it co-opts a host cell once inside and how it evades the immune response to produce a life-long, persistent infection.

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. -
Scott D. Boyd, MD PhD
Stanford Professor of Food Allergy and Immunology and Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to understand the lymphocyte genotype-phenotype relationships in healthy human immunity and in immunological diseases. We apply new technologies and data analysis approaches to this challenge, particularly high-throughput DNA sequencing and single-cell monoclonal antibody generation, in parallel with other functional assays.

Janine Bruce
Sr Research Scholar, Pediatrics - General Pediatrics
Current Role at StanfordAssociate Director, Office of Child Health Equity, Department of Pediatrics
Co-Director for the Scholarly Concentration in Community Engagement and Advocacy, Pediatric Residency Program
Co-director for the Scholarly Concentration in Community Health for Medical Students
Instructor for graduate level qualitative methods, social determinants and community engagement courses -
Jennifer L. Bruno
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Bruno is a translational researcher at the interface of developmental cognitive neuropsychology and neurobiology. An overarching goal of her work is to understand developmental windows of vulnerability—periods of risk for falling off the trajectory of typical brain development. Her research utilizes genetics, brain imaging, and deep behavioral phenotyping to bridge computational science with clinical knowledge, translating cutting-edge science to solve problems of great clinical need.
