Sean Paul Spencer, MD,PhD
Instructor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioSean Spencer, MD,PhD is a Gastroenterologist and Physician Scientist at Stanford University working with Justin Sonennburg,PhD to uncover the role of dietary intake on the gut microbiome and mucosal immune system. Sean obtained his medical degree University of Pennsylvania, earning his PhD studying nutritional immunology with Yasmine Belkaid,PhD at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), after which he moved to Boston for residency training at Massachusetts General Hospital and completed his Gastroenterology training at Stanford University. Sean’s career goal is to study mechanisms by which dietary intake influences our microbiome and immune system to better understand and treat gastrointestinal disease.

Trace Stay
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI investigate the sensory pathways that contribute to establishing the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and how they modify the reflex through learning. I use simultaneous population recordings from multiple nodes in the vestibular circuit while providing diverse behavioral stimuli, then use general linear modeling to analyze neural activity. I also use genetic tools to perturb elements of the signaling pathways to examine their respective role in establishing temporal filtering, gain, &phase adaptation

James Stieger
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioJames earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. His research was focused on brain computer interfaces using EEG signals. His interests lie in the intersection of machine learning and real-time brain recording. James joined the LBCN with the intent to discover how focal brain activity can be harnessed to decode brain function and how to improve it in conditions such as epilepsy.
