Ryan T. Ash
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Resident in Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesBioI am a PGY3 research track resident in the Stanford Psychiatry department. I completed my MD-PhD at Baylor College of Medicine, working in the labs of Stelios Smirnakis and Huda Zoghbi, studying learning-associated synaptic plasticity in motor cortex of the MECP2 Duplication Syndrome mouse model using in vivo 2-photon imaging. I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, studying changes in neuronal population activity in MeCP2 disorders with 2-photon genetically encoded calcium indicator imaging.
I am currently developing methods to study the regulation of synaptic plasticity by affective state and mindful presence, using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and source-localized EEG. I am also interested in studying alterations in the functional organization of somatomotor/interoceptive brain areas in trauma. My clinical interests include integrated psychodynamic- and mindfulness-based approaches, rTMS, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. -

Vali Barsan
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Fellow in Pediatrics - Hematology & OncologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsAdoptive T cell immunotherapy entails engineering immune cells to recognize cancer-specific antigens and target them for destruction. Barriers to efficacy can arise from both tumor antigen related as well as T cell related features. I am interested developing noninvasive molecular tools that enable us to understanding these relationships to improve the clinical application and development of cellular immunotherapeutics.

Patrick DeMoss
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Fellow in Pediatrics - Hematology & OncologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsI work in the Davis Lab trying to characterize the tumor microenvironment of Ewing Sarcoma, with an eventual goal to better understand immune interactions in hopes of improving immunotherapy for these tumors.
I am also interested in the history of medicine, specifically viewing current diseases through a historical prism, such as reading original accounts of diseases, laboratory results, and study protocols. Medicine is naturally a historical discipline: as knowledge accumulates, so medicine as a field progresses. Furthermore, by studying medicine in a historical context, I believe it enriches our current practice by connecting us with our predecessor physicians. -
