Carla Abdelnour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioOriginally from Caracas, Venezuela, Dr. Carla Abdelnour received her medical degree at the Central University of Venezuela, and then completed her neurology residency training at the University Hospital Príncipe de Asturias in Madrid, Spain. She conducted her doctorate in Medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona working with Drs. Dag Aarsland, Javier Pagonabarraga and Jaime Kulisevsky. Her thesis focused on the influence of Alzheimer´s disease copathology in atrophy patterns, longitudinal cognitive decline, and heterogeneity of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
Carla´s main interest is the study of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Lewy body disease. As a Sue Berghoff LBD Research Fellow, her plan is to investigate the impact of different comorbidities in the clinical presentation, cognitive profile, and disease progression of Lewy body disease. Additionally, she wants to study the biological underpinnings of prodromal Lewy body disease to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. -
Karly Cody
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioKarly Cody completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin in the lab of Dr. Sterling Johnson. Her doctoral research focused on characterizing the preclinical disease stage of Alzheimer's disease using health, biomarker, and cognitive profiles obtained in late-midlife. At Stanford, Karly's research combines neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers to study trajectories of aging, including healthy brain aging as well as Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

Chuyi Cui, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Chuyi Cui is a postdoctoral scholar in the Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomechanics and Motor Control, with a minor in Gerontology, from Purdue University. Her doctoral research focused on understanding gait control and stability in healthy aging, through comprehensive investigations of the kinematics and kinetics of adaptive locomotion in young and older adults. At Stanford, her postdoctoral research expanded to clinical populations, aiming to uncover the mechanisms underlying gait dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. Under the guidance of Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart, she contributes to clinical trials on closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's Disease, utilizing advanced neuromodulation technology to develop and evaluate DBS therapies that adapt in real time to patients' motor fluctuations and alleviate gait symptoms.

Jiaqi Gu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences, Stanford University and under supervision of Dr. Zihuai He. Before that, I obtained my PhD degree in statistics under supervision of Prof. Philip L.H. Yu and Prof. Guosheng Yin in University of Hong Kong and my bachelor degrees in statistics from Renmin University of China.
My researches concentrate on preference learning, network data modeling, quantitative analysis of survival and public health data, high-dimensional statistical inference with geometric information and statistical genetics.
