Kouta Niizuma
Basic Life Research Scientist, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioI am a Research Scientist in Prof. Hiromitsu Nakauchi's laboratory at Stanford University. I obtained my PhD in Immunology from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. During my doctoral studies in Prof. Akira Shibuya's laboratory, I focused on the characterization of cell surface receptors expressed on immune cells. I successfully cloned a novel human immunoglobulin-like receptor, CD300H, and established a specific monoclonal antibody. My research demonstrated that CD300H is expressed on a subset of human monocytes and dendritic cells and plays a crucial role in enhancing inflammation by promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
During my PhD, I also studied as a visiting scholar in Prof. Lewis L. Lanier's laboratory at UCSF, where I investigated the role of the activating receptor NKG2D on NK cells in viral immunity.
Since May 2018, I have been a member of the Nakauchi lab. My current research focuses on the development of new immunotherapies using myeloid cells derived from iPS cells, the generation of monoclonal antibodies, and hematopoietic stem cell biology. -
Margaret Claire Nikolov
Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis, Clinical Excellence Research Center (CERC) Operations
BioDr. Meg Nikolov joined CERC in July 2022 as Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis. Prior to CERC, Meg led the Technical Consulting and Advanced Analytics team, National Market Research at Kaiser Permanente, where her work focused on access to care and on telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to relocating to the West Coast, Meg was Assistant Professor in the Math Department at the United States Naval Academy. At the Naval Academy, Meg coordinated and taught the statistics and probability courses, co-taught the capstone research course in quantitative economics, advised student research projects, and collaborated with faculty on interdisciplinary research. Meg continues to collaborate on research exploring gender and racial bias in professional performance evaluations. Meg received her Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Biometry from Cornell University and her PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Seigo Ninomiya
Clinical Research Coordinator Associate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
BioAt Stanford University School of Medicine, Seigo worked in NIH funded Clinical trials for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorder, and hands-on experience dealing data from neuroimaging methods such as fMRI, EEG, and 3D Neuro-navigation system. At UCSF School of Medicine, he has completed the internship program with the Center for Intelligent Imaging. As a part of Biomagnetic Imaging Lab and Speech Neuroscience Lab at UCSF School of Medicine, He has done data processing, Data QC, and analysis of MEG, fMRI data and several neuropsych scales such as GAD7, YBOCS, and Tinnitus Functional Index. He have hands-on experience on advanced neuroimaging technologies including fMRI and EEG in laboratory settings at University of California Davis., and obtained a CITI training certificate in both biological/behavioral training, and MRI training certificate from UC Davis Imaging Research center.

Ryan Nitta
Senior Research Scientist, Neurosurgery
Current Role at StanfordThe main project of the Li lab is to elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for maintaining and initiating brain tumor growth. Previously the Li lab has identified an interesting protein, known as casein kinase 2, which plays an integral role in adult brain tumor growth. My goal is to expand on this initial finding and determine if casein kinase 2 could be a therapeutically relevant drug target in adult brain tumors and whether this protein plays a role in pediatric brain tumors. The role of the candidate would be the lead researcher on these projects, as well as managing and leading the undergraduate and medical students in the lab. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining the laboratory and assisting in grant writing.
