Esa Rasanen
Visiting Scholar, Chemical and Systems Biology Operations
Affiliate, SPARK at StanfordBioI am a Professor of Physics at Tampere University with a background in quantum physics and dynamics, and broad experience in multidisciplinary research at the interface of physics, engineering, and medical sciences. My work has increasingly focused on computational cardiology, electrocardiography, and physiological signal analysis, where our team develops algorithms and software for extracting clinically meaningful information from complex biosignals. I have been involved in both academic research and applied innovation, including clinical validation studies and technology translation in healthcare and wearables. I am particularly interested in problems where rigorous physical modeling, data-driven methods, and real-world medical applications intersect.

Kacper Rogala
Assistant Professor of Structural Biology and of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur team is fascinated by how cells make growth decisions — to grow or not to grow. In order to grow, cells require nutrients, and we are unraveling how cells use specialized protein sensors and transporters to sense and traffic nutrients in between various compartments. We use approaches from structural biology, chemical biology, biophysics, biochemistry, and cell biology — to reveal the mechanisms of basic biological processes, and we develop chemical probes that modulate them.

Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInsulin is one of the primary regulators of rapid anabolic responses in the body. Defects in the synthesis and/or ability of cells to respond to insulin results in the condition known as diabetes mellitus. To better design methods of treatment for this disorder, we have been focusing our research on how insulin elicits its various biological responses.
