Kyna Byrd
Masters Student in Laboratory Animal Science, admitted Autumn 2021
Stanford Student Employee, Comparative MedicineBioKyna (pronounced kee-nuh) Byrd is currently a Master's of Laboratory Animal Science student at Stanford University, with an expected graduation date of June 2023. Their research focus is on animal behavior and welfare, and refining the ways we care for biomedical research animals to improve experimental translation and reproducibility.
Kyna is a certified Laboratory Animal Technologist (RLATG) and has over a decade of animal husbandry experience with countless species in biomedical research, zoos, wildlife rehabilitation, and animal shelters, as well as many years of teaching and public speaking experience.
After graduation, Kyna is open to career opportunities that involve enhancing animal well-being in any setting. They are especially interested in the use of enrichment and training to improve animal care, as well as teaching people humane care and handling techniques. -
David Chu
Veterinarian, Comparative Medicine - Veterinary Service Center
Current Role at StanfordOversee day to day operations in rodent and aquatic animal health programs including clinical medicine, health surveillance, import / export affairs, and strategic planning spreading across over a dozen facilities on and off campus. Supervise personnel engaged in rodent health surveillance enterprise. Administer appropriate veterinary care to all animals in AAALAC accredited Stanford research colonies and make critical health care decisions in a wide variety of situations. Perform veterinary care physical exams, diagnostic work-ups, medical or surgical treatment, and/or euthanasia, for all species found in the research colony populations. Ensure accuracy of clinical records in compliance with state and federal regulations. Provide veterinary care in the areas of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care of research animals. Participate in clinical and didactic training of residents (ACLAM sanctioned), externs, and visiting veterinary students. Provide assessments of animals prior to intrastate, interstate, and international shipments, including physical examination, review of colony history, and pertinent diagnostic tests. Review animal use proposals for the IACUC and coordinate the monitoring of approved research projects. Supervise and training for Animal Care Assistants, Veterinary Technicians, or lower-level Veterinarians as appropriate.

Corinna Darian-Smith, PhD
Professor of Comparative Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab looks at the organization and function of central neural pathways that underlie directed manual behavior. We are specifically interested in how these pathways adapt following injury, and use a combination of approaches in monkeys to identify mechanisms mediating neural reorganization and behavioral recovery.

Shaul Hestrin, PhD
Professor of Comparative Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe main interest of my lab is to understand how the properties of neocortical neurons, the circuits they form and the inputs they receive give rise to neuronal activity and behavior. Our approach includes behavioral studies, two-photon calcium imaging, in vivo whole cell recording in behaving animals and optogenetic methods to activate or to silence the activity of cortical neurons.
