BioMy research focus sits at the intersection of computational biology, deep learning, and drug discovery. I'm especially interested in how neural networks can be used to decode high-dimensional biological signals that are overlooked by traditional experimental techniques.
Currently, I work in the Butcher Lab, where I develop neural network models to identify cleavable peptide ligands embedded within protein-coding genes. After computationally predicting these ligands, I investigate their ability to bind to G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), a class of receptors that mediate a wide range of physiological responses and are the target of over a third of FDA-approved drugs. My goal is to illuminate novel ligand-receptor pairs and uncover uncharted signaling mechanisms with therapeutic potential.
Previously, I’ve worked on a range of interdisciplinary projects, including training generative networks for cancer biomarker detection and developing molecular machine learning pipelines for target inhibition modeling. Outside of research, I enjoy mentoring younger students in STEM, engaging in long debates about the future of AI, and making the perfect cup of coffee. If you’re also interested in machine learning, molecular biology, or speculative sci-fi, feel free to reach out: I’m always up for a great conversation. -

BioPelvic floor and functional bowel disorders refer to a series of symptoms and anatomic findings that effect men and women of all ages. These may include: constipation, difficult evacuation, fecal incontinence, irritable bowel disorders, diarrhea, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and sexual dysfunction and pain. Although not life threatening, these disorders can severely affect quality of life and individual performance.
Over the past two decades I have dedicated my career to working with other specialists for comprehensive care for individuals with pelvic floor disorders. In July 2017, I joined The Department of Surgery, Division of Colorectal Surgery at Stanford University as the Medical Director of the Pelvic Health Center. I previously spent the prior decade at Cleveland Clinic running a multidisciplinary clinic and performing over 200 combined procedures in conjunction with colleagues in urology and urogynecology. We developed a robotic surgical approach to woman with vaginal and rectal prolapse and performed many surgeries to repair intestinal and rectal fistula (abnormal communications between the intestine and vagina).
Prior to that I established a Pelvic Floor Center at Maimonides Medical Center received a Jahnigan Career Development Award looking at multicompartment prolapse in elderly women. In addition to performing surgery and teaching throughout my career, I have maintained a commitment to long-term follow up of patients after surgery.
Although my training and focus is around surgical techniques and solutions for anorectal disorders and pelvic health, I believe that prevention, non-surgical alternatives, diet, exercise, and behavior management are vitally important to patient success.
One of my many goals is to educate patients, health care providers, and trainees about pelvic floor disorders.
When I am not at work I enjoy quality time with my three teenagers, dog, friends and I practice yoga. -

Laura Gwilliams
Assistant Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Linguistics
BioLaura Gwilliams is jointly appointed between Stanford Psychology, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Stanford Data Science. Her work is focused on understanding the neural representations and operations that give rise to speech comprehension in the human brain. To do so, she brings together insight from neuroscience, linguistics and machine learning, and takes advantage of recording techniques that operate at distinct spatial scales (MEG, ECoG and Neuropixels).
