Lisa Yamada
Software Developer 2, SoM - CNC - Cracking the Neural Code
BioLisa Yamada is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, working with Professor Paul Nuyujukian in the Brain Interfacing Laboratory at Stanford University. She is interested in applying data science and engineering tools for medical applications towards higher quality and more equitable care. As a computational neuroscientist and clinical research coordinator, she is currently investigating quantitative measures for seizure analyses using human neuroelectrophysiology data (e.g., intracortical EEGs of participants with refractory epilepsy). She graduated from Trinity College (Hartford, CT) with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and earned her MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities like hiking.

Kelly H. Yoo, MD, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Kelly H. Yoo is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University, specializing in innovative therapeutic strategies for neurosurgical pathologies. She earned her M.D. and Ph.D. from Heidelberg University School of Medicine, where her doctoral research focused on combining CAR T cell immunotherapy with ibrutinib and a reactive oxygen species accelerator, PipFcB, for hematologic malignancies. Graduating in the top 1% of her class, Dr. Yoo was recruited early for her residency in neurosurgery, where she honed her expertise in the interdisciplinary application of combinatorial treatment strategies.
Building on the knowledge she gained during her doctoral training, she worked to integrate CAR T cell therapy with bevacizumab, temozolomide chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for neurosurgical patients with primary and recurrent glioblastoma. As part of the clinician-scientist track, Dr. Yoo has completed several certifications, including Good Clinical Practice, the Principal Investigators Course, the Clinical Trial Investigators Course, and the Munich Investigators Course. These experiences have equipped her to design translational research that effectively bridges the gap between bench and bedside.
Recognized as a top 0.1% resident by the Baden-Württemberg Medical Association for her exceptional clinical and research performance, Dr. Yoo joined the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University to advance her career through a postdoctoral fellowship. -
