Alison Barrett
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunity Transplant Infection
BioI'm an all-in-one biochemist, cell-culturist, and human-health enthusiast whose interests include therapeutics development, and tools for medical diagnostics.
I strive to maintain a healthy balance of breadth and depth in my areas of expertise, and have a strong affinity to interdisciplinary approaches. My background includes software development within the protein structure prediction module of the Rosetta software suite, design and initial development of cancer therapeutics, and basic research into understanding the mechanistic details of cell-cycle gene regulation.
My current research within the Tobias Lanz Lab aims to understand the role of certain targets of autoimmunity in Multiple Sclerosis and use this understanding to develop therapies and diagnostic aides. -
Bryan James Cannon
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2017
BioBryan J. Cannon is a graduate student at Stanford University, pursuing a PhD in Computational & Systems Immunology, with research focused on studying the cellular and acellular composition of human neurodegeneration using hi-dimensional imaging and sequencing datasets. He has experience in computational immunology, including multiplex ion beam imaging technology, image segmentation, and multi-dimensional analysis pipelines, as well as expertise in R, Matlab, and Python programming languages. Prior to Stanford, he worked as a Project Associate at NASA Ames Research Center and a Research Assistant at the Autoimmune & Rheumatology Lab, Bone Research Lab, and Cardiac Surgery Lab. Additionally, he has been involved in advocacy work, including mentoring high school students in summer research, working on a project for diversity and inclusion in immunology, giving lectures for the EXPLORE Lecture Series, and mentoring first-generation and low-income students at Stanford.

Lisa M. Jack
Academic Prog Prof 2, Emergency Medicine
Twin Registry Support, Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection OperationsCurrent Role at StanfordPrimary role at Stanford is to support the Strategic Plan for Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine.
Goals include building research infrastructure to support all EMed investigators, leveraging the strength of Stanford University to produce high-impact and innovative emergency care research, and supporting the efforts to become a national leader in academic emergency medicine research.
Also involved with supporting the efforts of the Twin Registry at Stanford - a valuable resource for research into the influences of genetics on a variety of traits and conditions. -
Anandi Krishnan
Instructor, Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research studies the mechanisms by which blood platelets and parent megakaryocytes respond to disease.
We utilize integrative strategies of omics-based discovery (from large clinical cohorts) paired with validation through molecular, cellular, in-vivo and machine learning algorithms. -
