Aisling Chaney
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch Focus:
Developing and evaluating imaging techniques to enhance understanding and diagnosis of neurological disorders. My current research focuses on imaging neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis using positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) techniques.
My previous research topics include investigating the effects of childhood maltreatment and major depressive disorder on brain morphology.
Specilaities:
Neurobiology, neuroimaging, PET imaging, MRS/MRI, neuroinflammation, pre-clinical cognitive assessments, cell culture, science communication. -
Andrea Gonzalez Montoro
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioDr. Gonzalez-Montoro's research interests involve the development of novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) instrumentation for an accurate in vivo imaging of the metabolic processes and the study of diseasses in humans and small animals.
In addition to obtain a high efficiency of PET scanners when combined with MRI or CT scanners, my research focusses on instrumentation projects related to enhance the sensitivity and 3D spatial, and/or temporal resolutions. -

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am currently applying bioinformatic transcriptomic analysis and fourier-transform infrared spectromicroscopy to better understand the consequences of redox stress in cells derived from control patients, and patients with inherited mitochondrial dysfunctions.

Ivana Martinic
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioIvana Martinić is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of radiology at Stanford University. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Molecular Biotechnology from University of Zagreb (Croatia), in 2011 and 2013, and M.Sc. degree in Bioindustrial Techniques from University of Orléans (France), in 2013. Her research during M.Sc. was focused on: `Exploring of a New Nuclear mRNA Surveillance Pathway in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae`. She received her PhD degree in biology/biochemistry in 2016 at the University of Orléans (France) under supervision of Prof. Stéphane Petoud and Dr. Svetlana V. Eliseeva and support of a Marie Curie fellowship. Her research interests were focused on development of near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging agents based on lanthanide ions (e.g. small molecules, polymetallic complexes, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), polyamidoamine dendrimers and nanoparticles) for applications in cancer research and diagnostics. As a complement and continuation of her PhD work she has worked on a maturation project financially supported by the Technology Transfer Company (SATT Grand Centre, France) that has the main goal to create and characterize imaging agents as commercially valuable products. She is co-inventor of five patents and has published a few peer-reviewed papers in high ranking journals and gave several talks at international conferences.
