Israt Alam
Senior Research Scientist-Basic Life, Rad/Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioResearch Focus and interests: Molecular Imaging, Clinical Translation, Graft versus Host Disease, Spatial Biology, Immune-Theragnostics
Dr. Israt Alam is a Senior Scientist in the Radiology Department at Stanford University. She trained in Prof. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir's lab and transitioned to Dr. Michelle James' lab in 2021. Her research focuses on studying lymphocyte activation with the motivation of developing non-invasive imaging tools, to monitor immune dynamics in response to cancer immunotherapy and in immunopathology. Her work has supported the clinical translation of several nuclear imaging agents (small molecules and a biologic) for early detection of cancer and prediction of treatment response, that are being evaluated in oncology trials around the world. She is currently leading the IND-enabling studies for a first in class PET tracer for T cell activation and has also supported several biomarker detection platforms for early disease detection. She was elected as Co-Chair of the "Imaging in cell and immune therapies" (ICIT) interest group for the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS).

Koray Ertan
Research Engineer, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioKoray Ertan received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey, where he also completed his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Ergin Atalar. During his doctoral studies, he conducted research at the National Magnetic Resonance Research Center (UMRAM) in Turkey. His dissertation focused on the development of novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies, including gradient array systems aimed at improving diagnostic image quality, reducing specific absorption rate (SAR), and shortening scan times.
In April 2019, he joined Prof. Brian Rutt’s group at Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher. Shortly after, in June 2019, he was also appointed as a MINDED postdoctoral fellow. As part of the MINDED program, his research involved developing a system to modulate the permeability of the blood-brain barrier using focused radiofrequency heating from ultra-high field MRI transmit coils, with the goal of enhancing nanomedicine-based treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders.
He is currently a Research Scientist in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory at Stanford. His present work focuses on the design of next-generation head gradient coils and the analysis of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) thresholds. He is developing a predictive framework to estimate subject-specific PNS limits using basic demographic data and localizer MRI scans, with the aim of enabling safer and more efficient MRI. -
