Austen B. Casey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioAusten Brooks Casey, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. He originates from western North Carolina, and has had a long-standing interest in drug discovery for major depression and schizophrenia, which was invigorated by initial coursework in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Austen has performed research in the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of novel ligands targeting serotonergic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for neuropsychiatric indications including autism and psychosis. Currently, he is investigating neural circuits activated by psychedelic drugs, with the long-term goal of using modern techniques in neuroscience to complement drug design efforts toward the development of novel antidepressant and antipsychotic medications.

Katie Cederberg
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Cederberg's primary research interests focus on studying the efficacy and effectiveness of exercise for managing symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and co-occurring conditions (e.g., periodic limb movements, insomnia). She is currently an NHLBI T32 funded Postdoctoral Scholar in the Mignot Lab, where she she devotes her time to conducting research aimed at better understanding the relationship among genetics, proteomics, and the presence of and severity of symptoms related to RLS. Her current research is interested in patient's personal experiences with exercise and RLS as well as the relationship between exercise and proteomic biomarkers of RLS. She received her PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in December 2020, wherein her dissertation utilized a series of methodological approaches to comprehensively examine the relationship between physical activity and RLS in adults with MS. She plans to utilize her experience and training to develop a line of research for informing exercise prescription parameters specifically for managing symptoms of RLS.

Antara Chakravarty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. Priscilla Yang since September 2021. I am interested in virus-induced changes in membrane lipid composition of infected cells and my research focuses on developing experimental systems to interrogate the impact of lipid composition on membrane-associated RNA virus replication, using hepatitis C virus and brome mosaic virus as model systems.
During my doctoral studies, under the supervision of Prof. ALN Rao at the University of California-Riverside, I investigated capsid dynamics in multipartite bromoviruses, a group of icosahedral, plant-pathogenic RNA viruses belonging to the alphavirus-like super-family. -
Hyesang Chang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research aims to understand neurocognitive processes that give rise to how individuals acquire foundational cognitive skills that are predictive of academic and professional success. My current research investigates neural representations and brain circuits that predict individual differences in learning in response to training, leveraging unique experimental paradigms, theoretically motivated interventions, and cognitive and systems neuroscience methods.

Paulami Chatterjee
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research involves studying the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the host-pathogen interaction in pulmonary diseases. I am particularly interested in exploring transcriptomic and proteomic changes in Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma patients who develop severe allergic inflammation due to fungal hypersensitivity. Complete understanding of these interaction will help us identify significant fungal virulence factors and help us define clinically relevant targets for therapeutic use.

Tianqi Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oncology
BioMy research interest lies in liquid biopsy and early cancer diagnostics, e.g. development of bioassay for detection of cancer biomarkers (proteins and genes) and single-cell research. As well as the integration of 3D-printed microfluidics.

Wei Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioMy long-term goals involve the development of a full understanding of key molecular mechanisms and the identification of corresponding therapeutics for human diseases. My research training and academic experience have provided me with an excellent background necessary in multiple fields including molecular biology, cell biology, medicinal chemistry, and biochemical pharmacology. We first revealed a novel mechanism underscoring the regulation of metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function of epithelial cells by IL-22 during cell injury, which might provide useful insights from the bench to the clinic in treating and preventing more diseases, especially acute stroke/traumatic brain injuries. We subsequently demonstrated that autophagy was induced to play cytoprotective roles in numerous cells, which highlighted the potential therapeutic strategies for CNS neurodegeneration diseases or cancer by targeting autophagy. For my postdoctoral training, I continue to build on my previous researches in metabolic profiles and mitochondrial function regulations by concentrating on determining the role of mitochondrial thioredoxin metabolism in neuronal survival.

Christina F. Chick
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research examines the mechanistic contributions of sleep, cognition and affect to the onset and course of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in adolescence as a period during which changes in circadian rhythm, sleep architecture, and sleep behavior co-occur with neuroendocrine development, psychosocial changes, and the onset of many psychiatric disorders. Given that sleep is a highly treatable target, increasing our understanding of the specific contributions of sleep to psychiatric symptom onset may facilitate the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the course of illness.

Eunji Choi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy major research interests include cancer epidemiology with a concentration in the early detection and screening for cancer. My current research focuses on second malignancies among cancer survivors with special interests in causal inference, cancer risk prediction, and simulation modeling of cancer control interventions on their effects on population trends in incidence and mortality. My research involves the application of various statistical methods for competing-risk and high-dimensional data analysis using various data sources, which include prospective cohorts, population-based randomized trials, electronic health records, and cancer genomics data.

Aleksandra Chudinova
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am part of the wormsense lab where we study the molecular and biophysical mechanisms endowing sensory neurons with the capacity to perceive mechanical and thermal stimuli. I study the mechanisms involved in the regulation of degeneration and regeneration of sensory endings. Using genetics, in vivo imaging, electrophysiology and behavioral assays in C.elegans I screen for small molecules that restore touch sensation following chemotherapy and I validate their therapeutic potential in mice.

Rossie Clark-Cotton
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Teaching Assistant, Stanford Center for Health EducationCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsThe best-known model of cytokinesis is the "purse-string" model, which proposes that a contractile actomyosin ring provides the force necessary to divide a cell. Recent work has revealed that many eukaryotes perform cytokinesis without an actomyosin structure. As a postdoctoral fellow, I investigate actomyosin-independent mechanisms of cytokinesis using the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model.
