Filippo Balzaretti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioI like to define myself as an aspiring 360° scientist. What does that mean? Well, that it is a strong wish of mine to collect as much knowledge as possible in what are (at least in my opinion) the three main fields of science: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
This is why, after having received my Master in Mathematics at the University of Turin, Italy, I worked as a Ph.D. student in Physics at the University of Bremen, Germany. Recently I've been hired from the University of Stanford to proceed my academic path with a Post-doc position at the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis.
I will put all my efforts to provide the scientific community with important insights and discoveries. -
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.
