Laura M.K. Dassama
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
BioLaura Dassama is a chemical biologist who uses principles from chemistry and physics to understand complex biological phenomena, and to leverage that understanding for the modulation of biological processes. Her current research focuses on deciphering the molecular recognition mechanisms of multidrug transporters implicated in drug resistance, rational engineering and repurposing of natural products, and control of transcription factors relevant to sickle cell disease.

Reinhold Dauskardt
Ruth G. and William K. Bowes Professor in the School of Engineering
BioDauskardt and his group have worked extensively on integrating new materials into emerging technologies including thin-film structures for nanoscience and energy technologies, high-performance composite and laminates for aerospace, and on biomaterials and soft tissues in bioengineering. His group has pioneered methods for characterizing adhesion and cohesion of thin films used extensively in device technologies. His research on wound healing has concentrated on establishing a biomechanics framework to quantify the mechanical stresses and biologic responses in healing wounds and define how the mechanical environment affects scar formation. Experimental studies are complimented with a range of multiscale computational capabilities. His research includes interaction with researchers nationally and internationally in academia, industry, and clinical practice.

Guido A. Davidzon
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology - Rad/Nuclear Medicine
BioDr. Guido A. Davidzon is a physician-scientist board-certified in Nuclear Medicine. He is an attending physician in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Stanford Health Care. He graduated with honors from medical school in Argentina and completed an internship at Yale University New-Haven Hospital in Connecticut. He did his residency and was chief resident at Stanford Health Care. He completed a U.S. National Library of Medicine-supported Biomedical Informatics fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital with a Science Master at MIT.
Dr. Davidzon is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. His clinical specialties include molecular probe-based early diagnostic imaging of cancer, coronary artery disease, and dementia, as well as targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy for cancer treatment.
Dr. Davidzon is the Cardiac PET and SPECT program director and the acting Chair of the Radioactive Drug Research and Clinical Radiation Safety Committees. Guido steers clinical efforts in using PET to evaluate cognitive disorders and assess treatment response for patients receiving novel anti-amyloid therapies. He is an active member of the Artificial Intelligence Task Force at the SNMMI and leads research and translational efforts in artificial intelligence and nuclear medicine at Stanford. Dr. Davidzon is the immediate past President of the Northern California Chapter of the SNMMI. -
Jenna Davis
Associate Dean for Integrative Initiatives in Institutes and International Partnerships, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, of Environmental Social Sciences and Higgins-Magid Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Davis’ research and teaching deals broadly with the role that water plays in promoting public health and economic development, with particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries. Her group conducts applied research that utilizes theory and analytical methods from public and environmental health, engineering, microeconomics, and planning. They have conducted field research in more than 20 countries, most recently including Zambia, Bangladesh, and Kenya.
