Alisa Marie Olmsted
Affiliate, Psych/Major Laboratories and Clinical & Translational Neurosciences Incubator
BioI am a psychiatrist and Advanced MD Fellow within the Sierra-Pacific Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) at the Veteran Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS). I am also affiliated as a postdoctoral scholar within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University with Leanne Williams, PhD as primary mentor. My general interests are in the implementation of experimental/novel therapeutics and precision approaches to improve outcomes in difficult-to-treat depression. In my developing research program, I focus on circuit-based paradigms in negative valence and social process domains, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and neuromodulation.

Kilian M Pohl
Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Labs and Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe foundation of the laboratory of Associate Professor Kilian M. Pohl, PhD, is computational science aimed at identifying biomedical phenotypes improving the mechanistic understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The biomedical phenotypes are discovered by unbiased, machine learning-based searches across biological, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological data. This data-driven discovery currently supports the adolescent brain research of the NIH-funded National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD), the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the US. The laboratory also investigates brain patterns specific to alcohol use disorder and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) across the adult age range, and have advanced the understanding of a variety of brain diseases including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, glioma, and aging.

Sean Quirin
Assistant Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical & Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
BioDr. Quirin's laboratory develops minimally invasive methods to explore the causal role individual neurons play in the emergence of behavior. To this end, the lab's strength is the development of techniques which manipulate light to both detect and restoratively modulate brain activity down to the single-neuron scale. His lab continues to innovate with new tools which map these functional relationships onto the molecular and anatomical architecture of the brain. Utilizing these techniques, the lab aims to characterize how ensembles of neurons coordinate to encode and communicate information throughout the brain for sensing and behavior.
