Gaelle Desbordes
Sponsored By Stanford University:, Radiology
BioI am a radiologic data systems engineer at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, helping develop and implement data systems for radiologists with the aim to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.
My previous role was as a senior research engineer at Stanford School of Medicine – Radiology, where I was applying deep learning techniques to enhance the detection and classification of various cancer types in medical images.
I was initially trained as an engineer and research scientist – with an MS in Computer Science, PhD in Cognitive and Neural Systems, and postdoctoral training in computational neuroscience and human brain imaging. More recently, I completed a Professional Certificate in Data Engineering.
Over the course of my career, I have designed, built, and coded computational methods for data analysis, collected and analyzed a range of scientific and clinical data, and effectively communicated research findings to diverse audiences. -

BioDr. Gayle Deutsch is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neuropsychologist with Stanford Health Care.
Dr. Deutsch is the lead neuropsychologist at the Stanford Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. She evaluates thinking and memory in a wide variety of neurological disorders, including conditions that damage brain cells (neurodegenerative disorders), such as Alzheimer’s disease. She also works with movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. In addition, she treats myotonic dystrophy, which causes muscle weakness and wasting, and conditions where the immune system attacks the nervous system (neuroimmunological disorders), such as multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Deutsch collaborates on research projects with Stanford University School of Medicine and the Mormino and Wagner Labs at Stanford University. Her work aims to understand cognitive changes in neurological disorders, particularly neurodegenerative disorders, epilepsy, myotonic dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis. Previously, Dr. Deutsch explored how temporal lobe epilepsy affects memory and how specialists can better understand and evaluate memory changes in people with seizure disorders.
Dr. Deutsch has published her findings in leading peer-reviewed journals, such as Alzheimer’s & Dementia, Neurology, Journal of Neuroscience, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She has also written book chapters on learning disabilities as part of a pediatric neuropsychology handbook.
