Mary de Boer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioI am a maternal and child nutrition researcher with expertise in nutritional epidemiology, implementation science, and environmental health. My work focuses on understanding heterogeneity in health outcomes among pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries — specifically, why evidence-based interventions fail to reach or benefit the most vulnerable subgroups. I use mixed methods combining traditional nutritional epidemiology with spatial analysis, multilevel and structural equation modeling, latent class analysis, and qualitative approaches to understand both biological and structural drivers of that heterogeneity. I come to academic research after 14 years as a field-based public health practitioner in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia within the USAID Foreign Service.

Korina De Bruyne
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe EMPOWER study (PI: Dr Beth Darnall) is looking at how to best support patients with chronic pain on long-term opioid therapy through a slow taper (maximal duration of 1 year). Patients are randomized to taper only versus taper plus community-based pain self-management group sessions versus taper plus psychologist-led cognitive behavioral therapy for pain group sessions. Along the way alternative measures to control pain are also explored. Enrollment is open until 10/2021.

Seena Dehkharghani MD FAHA
Clinical Professor, Radiology
BioMy research spans human, animal, and phantom studies of cerebral perfusion and metabolism, emphasizing thermometry and
neuroenergetics. My investigations into ischemic thermometry were twice recognized with the Foundation of the ASNR Scholar Award in Neuroradiology Research and subsequently by a R01 awarded by the NIBIB. My group has developed novel computational models for cerebral hemodynamics (dynamic BOLD-CVR) and first-of-kind hyperportable microwave stroke detection tools using deep learning. I have obtained formal certification (Mathworks, Google) in machine learning and data analytics and remain engaged in self-learning in AI/ML methodologies. I have also been a post-graduate student through the Stanford University School of Engineering SCPD program in Computer Science, again with a focus in artificial intelligence through the Stanford University School of Engineering, with core competencies including machine learning, Bayesian Networks, Markov Decision Processes, and Deep Learning.
I formerly served as Director of Stroke and Cerebrovacular Imaging Programs at Emory University and New York University, leading basic, translational, and clinical cerebrovascular imaging programs in collaboration with academic and industry partners worldwide. I returned to Stanford in Feb 2025 as Professor and Associate Chair of Informatics, and as Affiliate Faculty of the Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute, Stanford Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI) Center, Center for Digital Health (CDH), and
Human-Centered AI (HAI) Institute.
Ongoing projects that I would like to highlight include:
1R01EB034820-01 (NIBIB).
Previously, I was funded in an application to the Google AI Social Impact Challenge for the development of portable ultra-wideband microwave imaging instrumentation (patents issued), work for which I was selected to the NIH-NIBIB c3i Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation Program.
Presently, we have proposed to develop realistic computational models of ischemic stroke and bridge a heretofore unattempted multiscale and
multiphysics view of neuroenergetic disturbance in the ischemic brain. The merger of a state of the art in silico neurobiological canvas
with more than a decade of insights from rigorous experimental neuroscience and biophysical modeling points us to disturbed
thermoregulation/dysthermia at the critical intersection of cerebral perfusion, metabolism, viability, and hence neuroenergetic balance.
Cerebral dysthermia will be formalized in a radical departure from the historically perfusion-centered frame of reference in
cerebrovascular ischemia, the latter having shown unfit to capture fully the adaptive, dynamic metabolic changes that subserve the
ischemic brain. We leverage the pathoanatomic realism of our complete multiscale vascular, flow, and perfusion model tuned to direct
measures of cerebral perfusion, oximetry, and thermography across hemodynamics states in individuals subjected to hemodynamics
provocation, linking two procedures developed by my lab: time-resolved BOLD cerebrovascular reactivity with acetazolamide and the
brain thermal response (BTR). This work represents a new direction of cerebrovascular and
neurometabolic research enabled by traditionally unattainable biomarker ensembles based in non-invasive, spatiotemporally-resolved
brain thermography. -
