  • Emma Lundberg

    Emma Lundberg

    Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Pathology

    BioDr. Emma Lundberg is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Pathology at Stanford University and serves at the Director of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas initiative in Sweden, where she is also Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. At the intersection of bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence, her research aims to define the spatiotemporal organization of the human proteome at both cellular and subcellular level. Dr. Lundberg aims to develop integrated models of human cells to elucidate how variations in protein localization patterns influence cellular function, ultimately enabling the simulation of cell behavior and a systems-level understanding of how biological information is spatially encoded. The Lundberg Lab is responsible for creating the Subcellular Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database (https://www.proteinatlas.org/). Dr. Lundberg is dedicated to building virtual cell models to simulate cell behavior, and is passionate about engaging the public in her work through citizen science games and computational challenges.

    Dr. Lundberg holds a Master’s degree in Bioengineering and a PhD in Biotechnology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She has served as Secretary General of the Human Proteome Organization, and is actively involved in advisory roles for numerous open-access databases and cell mapping efforts such as the CZI AI Virtual Cell, Human Cell Atlas consortium, UniProt db, Reactome db, Human Proteome Project and various pharma and biotech companies. As a token of her leadership skills and advocate for open science, she was twice recognized as top 10 under 40 for future leaders in biopharma and omics.

  • Matthew Lungren

    Matthew Lungren

    Adjunct Professor, Biomedical Data Science

    BioDr. Matthew Lungren is a physician-scientist whose research develops and evaluates machine learning systems that combine medical imaging, electronic health record data, and clinical outcomes.

  • Liqun Luo

    Liqun Luo

    Ann and Bill Swindells Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurobiology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how neurons are organized into specialized circuits to perform specific functions and how these circuits are assembled during development. We have developed molecular-genetic and viral tools, and are combining them with transcriptomic, proteomic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to study these problems. Topics include: 1) assembly of the fly olfactory circuit; 2) assembly of neural circuits in the mouse brain; 3) organization and function of neural circuits; 4) Tool development.

  • Ruben Y. Luo

    Ruben Y. Luo

    Assistant Professor of Pathology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsApply top-down mass spectrometry and label-free immunoassay to the study and utilization of biomarker proteoforms in clinical diagnosis.
