Laramie Duncan
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur work is at the intersection of statistical genetics, psychiatry, and neuroscience. We use massive datasets and primarily computational approaches to identify mechanisms contributing to mental health problems like schizophrenia and depression. The overall goal of the lab is to discover fundamental information about psychiatric disorders, and ultimately to build more effective approaches to classification, prevention, and treatment.

Caroline Duncombe
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunity Transplant Infection
BioDr. Caroline Duncombe is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection at Stanford University. Her research broadly explores how sex-based differences influence immune responses to infectious diseases. She applies systems-level approaches to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying immune variation, with the goal of informing more equitable and effective interventions.
Dr. Duncombe earned her PhD in Pathobiology from the University of Washington, where she pursued interdisciplinary research integrating systems biology, immunology, epidemiology, endocrinology, and parasitology. Her work has contributed to a deeper understanding of how sex and sex hormones shape host-pathogen interactions and vaccine responses.
In addition to her academic research, Dr. Duncombe is committed to science communication. She has produced science-focused comedy shows for over four years, using storytelling and humor to make complex scientific ideas more accessible.

Tamara Dunn
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Hematology
BioDr. Tamara Dunn is a clinical associate professor in the Division of Hematology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. She is a clinician with a special interest in medical education, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Specifically, she is committed to improving workforce diversity and creating inclusive workplaces. She is currently the Program Director for the Stanford Hematology/Oncology Fellowship and one of the Associate Chairs of Diversity and Inclusion for the Department of Medicine at Stanford. She is a member of the inaugural American Society of Hematology (ASH) Ambassador Cohort and serves on the ASH Women in Hematology committee, which she co-chairs. She is on the steering committee and is a mentor for Stanford’s Leadership Education in Advancing Diversity (LEAD) program. She takes pride in treating underserved veterans at the Palo Alto Veterans Hospital, where she sees both classical and malignant hematology. Outside of medicine she enjoys singing, dancing, sports (Go Chiefs! Go Warriors!), board games, movies, and spending time with friends and family including her 3 young children, spouse, and energetic vizsla Casey.

Mary Laurence Dunne
Adjunct Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Mimi Dunne is a physician leader in palliative and emergency medicine with a longstanding commitment to innovation in end-of-life care and medical education. A 2019-2020 Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow, Dr. Dunne has co-taught MED 296: Being Mortal at Stanford University School of Medicine.
A graduate of Saint Louis University School of Medicine, she completed postgraduate training at the University of Chicago, certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction at the University of Massachusetts, and is board-certified in both Emergency Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Medicine. As Medical Director of Hudson Valley Hospice, she founded the region’s first palliative care program in 2001.
Her scholarly work spans emergency medicine, palliative medicine, and global health, and she has authored studies, articles, and book chapters in these fields. She currently serves as an advisor to the African Center for Research in End of Life Care in Rwanda and to Bulamu Health Care in Uganda. -
Mike Dunne
Professor of Photon Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is the world's first X-Ray Free Electron Laser. It represents a revolution in x-ray science. The x-rays produced by LCLS are a billion times brighter than can be produced by conventional sources, such as a synchrotron, and are delivered in ultrafast bursts- typically a few tens of femtoseconds (10^-15 seconds). This opens up transformational opportunities for the study of structural biology, quantum materials, ultrafast chemistry, and novel states of matter

Sebastian Duno-Miranda
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI started my training as a biologist at the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) and the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas (IVIC). My Licentiate thesis degree advisor was Dr. Raúl Padrón, whom with I studied the structure and function of tarantula muscle, a key non-conventional animal model to understand muscle function in humans. Next, I would move to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Vermont, under Dr. David M. Warshaw supervision, studying the molecular mechanics of human cardiac myosin, the motor responsible for powering up the contractions of the human heart, the effect of multiple cardiomyopathy mutations, and the application of machine learning to enhance myosin single-molecule data analysis. Now, I've joined the lab of Dr. James Spudich at Stanford University, to continue pushing the frontiers of knowledge regarding the molecular physiology of human myosins in the context of heart disease.
