Casey Decosto
Ph.D. Student in Chemistry, admitted Autumn 2021
BioCassandra (Casey) Mendoza Decosto (she/they) is a proud first-generation Filipina American from Los Angeles, California. A Pasadena City College alumna who transferred to CSU-Los Angeles, she previously studied singlet-oxygen photochemistry with Prof. Matthias Selke. Now, as a Chemistry Ph.D. candidate in Prof. Laura Dassama’s lab, she leverages bioinformatic and biochemical approaches to discover novel proteins that drive metabolite trafficking, membrane remodeling, and antibiotic evasion in bacterial pathogens such as Treponema pallidum. As a CBI ChEM-H and EDGE fellow, Casey works to increase educational and research access on and off campus through programs like Stanford’s Community College Outreach Program (CCOP).

Gregory Deierlein
John A. Blume Professor in the School of Engineering
BioDeierlein's research focuses on improving limit states design of constructed facilities through the development and application of nonlinear structural analysis methods and performance-based design criteria. Recent projects include the development and application of strength and stiffness degrading models to simulate steel and reinforced concrete structures, seismic design and behavior of composite steel-concrete buildings, analysis of inelastic torsional-flexural instability of steel members, and a fracture mechanics investigation of seismically designed welded steel connections.

Karl Deisseroth
D. H. Chen Professor, Professor of Bioengineering and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsKarl Deisseroth's laboratory created and developed optogenetics, hydrogel-tissue chemistry (beginning with CLARITY), and a broad range of enabling methods. He also has employed his technologies to discover the neural cell types and connections that cause adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.

Cornelia L. Dekker, M.D.
Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases), Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Stanford-LPCH Vaccine Program provides an infrastructure for conducting clinical studies of vaccines in children and adults. We conduct immunology studies of seasonal influenza vaccines in twins, in a longitudinal cohort of young and elderly adults and studies of various vaccine candidates for NIH and industry. Additionally, we were a CDC Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment site for 10 years working on safety issues concerning licensed vaccines.
