Haruka Itakura, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Haruka Itakura is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology) in the Stanford University School of Medicine, a data scientist, and a practicing breast medical oncologist at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center. She is board-certified in Oncology, Clinical Informatics, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. Her research mission is to drive medical advances at the intersection of cancer and data science, applying state-of-the-art machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to extract clinically actionable knowledge from heterogeneous multi-scale cancer data to improve patient outcomes. Her ongoing research to develop robust methodologies and apply cutting-edge techniques to analyze complex cancer big data was catapulted by an NIH K01 Career Development Award in Biomedical Big Data Science after obtaining a PhD in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University. Her cancer research focuses on extracting radiomic (pixel-level quantitative imaging) features of tumors from medical imaging studies and applying machine learning frameworks, including radiogenomic approaches, for the integrative analysis of heterogeneous, multiomic (e.g., radiomic, genomic, transcriptomic) data to accelerate discoveries in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Her current projects include data science/AI-powered prediction modeling of survival, treatment response, cancer recurrence, and metastasis in different cancer subtypes; detection of occult invasive breast cancer; and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Her goal is to translate her research findings back to the clinical setting for the benefit of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.

Sarah Izabel
Ph.D. Student in Neurosciences, admitted Summer 2022
BioSarah was born and raised in Brazil where she attended law school before moving to the United States and shifting her interest to Neuroscience. She completed majors in Biology and Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 2020. At VCU, Sarah was part of the NIH-IMSD program and worked on uncovering mechanisms of axonal pathology in the lab of Dr. Jeff Dupree. She also worked with a clinical sample to identify the effects of income insecurity on decision-making in people with cocaine use disorder (CUD), in the lab of Dr. James Bjork. After graduating, Sarah went to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a UGSP Research Fellow and characterized a progranulin knockout mouse model in the lab of Dr. Alan Koretsky. She returned to her clinical research work in her second year at NIH in the lab of Dr. Vijay Ramchandani, where she worked to understand the relationship between neurological domains underlying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). At Stanford, Sarah is interested in treating and managing neuropsychiatric disorders and increasing access to participation in clinical research studies. Sarah is a RAISE fellow, a NIDA START Fellow, and an intern project manager for the Recovery Incentives Program.

Robert K. Jackler, MD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSince the early 2000s, study of tobacco industry marketing has become my primary field of research. Motivated by the lack of a comprehensive and well-organized compendium of tobacco advertisements, and the relative paucity of scholarly research analyzing the marketing practices of the industry, I chose to focus my research on advertising. The overarching purpose of my research has been to reveal the behavior of the tobacco industry in recruiting and retaining its consumers with the goal of infor
