Brian A. Hargreaves
Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications and augmented reality applications in medicine. These include abdominal, breast and musculoskeletal imaging, which require development of faster, quantitative, and more efficient MRI methods that provide improved diagnostic contrast compared with current methods. My work includes novel excitation schemes, efficient imaging methods and reconstruction tools and augmented reality in medicine.

Karolina Hasiec
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioKarolina’s research at King’s College London focused on neuroimaging and on how analytical methods can be tailored to the unique characteristics of different imaging tools. At Stanford, she is supporting research that investigates whether myelin plasticity can serve as a tractable therapeutic target to slow the progression of SYNGAP1-related intellectual disability - a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe, intractable epilepsy, significant cognitive impairment, and recognized as one of the leading genetic causes of autism. Through this work, she contributes to advancing understanding of how maladaptive myelination may underlie disease progression and to exploring new strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Vayu Hill-Maini
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study filamentous fungi, a diverse group of organisms that includes molds and mushrooms and are critical for a sustainable future. These organisms not only serve global roles in nutrient cycling, plant resilience, and agriculture, but have immense biotechnological potential for sustainable foods, medicines, enzymes, and materials. However, our ability to precisely manipulate fungal and metabolism and structure is still in its infancy, preventing both fundamental research and engineering efforts. Our lab integrates approaches from synthetic biology, biochemistry, and gastronomy to characterize and engineer fungi for food and sustainability applications, including creating new delicious, nutritious foods from readily available waste.

KC Huang
LeRa Professor and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do cells determine their shape and grow?
How do molecules inside cells get to the right place at the right time?
Our group tries to answer these questions using a systems biology approach, in which we integrate interacting networks of protein and lipids with the physical forces determined by the spatial geometry of the cell. We use theoretical and computational techniques to make predictions that we can verify experimentally using synthetic, chemical, or genetic perturbations. -
