Calvin Kuo
Maureen Lyles D'Ambrogio Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study cancer biology, intestinal stem cells (ISC), and angiogenesis. We use primary organoid cultures of diverse tissues and tumor biopsies for immunotherapy modeling, oncogene functional screening and stem cell biology. Angiogenesis projects include blood-brain barrier regulation, stroke therapeutics and anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. ISC projects apply organoid culture and ko mice to injury-inducible vs homeostatic stem cells and symmetric division mechanisms.

Christin S Kuo
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Pulmonary Medicine)
BioDr. Christin Kuo is a physician-scientist in the Department of Pediatrics. The ultimate goal of her research is to integrate a cellular and molecular understanding of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) to discover new approaches for diagnosing and treating diverse respiratory conditions associated with NE cell dysfunction and excessive proliferation, including neuroendocrine tumors. Abnormal PNECs are found in neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI), pulmonary carcinoids, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer. Her innovative approaches to studying the development and molecular diversity of rare but fascinating neurosensory cells with single cell precision, have led to fundamental discoveries. Her lab’s current research aims to apply this knowledge to understanding diverse human pulmonary neuroendocrine cell disorders using interdisciplinary approaches. Dr. Kuo is a Maternal and Child Health Research Institute Faculty Scholar.

Renesmee Kuo
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioRenesmee Kuo is an Electrical Engineering PhD candidate at Stanford University supported by NSF GRFP and Stanford Lieberman fellowship. Her research interests lie at the intersection of engineering and medicine. She focuses on validation of preclinical PET imaging tracers and their translation into the clinic for applications in neuroinflammatory diseases (e.g., MS, AD) and cancer (e.g., brain metastasis) in Prof. Michelle James' lab. She graduated from UC Berkeley with a BS in Bioengineering. At Berkeley, she worked in Prof. Steve Conolly's lab on Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), focusing on tracking CAR-T cells in immunotherapy using high-resolution MPI tracers. She also explored commercially-available high-resolution MPI tracers for early diagnosis of pulmonary embolisms and cardiovascular disease in preclinical settings.
