Emma Lundberg
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Pathology
BioDr. Emma Lundberg is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Pathology at Stanford University and serves at the Director of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas initiative in Sweden, where she is also Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. At the intersection of bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence, her research aims to define the spatiotemporal organization of the human proteome at both cellular and subcellular level. Dr. Lundberg aims to develop integrated models of human cells to elucidate how variations in protein localization patterns influence cellular function, ultimately enabling the simulation of cell behavior and a systems-level understanding of how biological information is spatially encoded. The Lundberg Lab is responsible for creating the Subcellular Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database (https://www.proteinatlas.org/). Dr. Lundberg is dedicated to building virtual cell models to simulate cell behavior, and is passionate about engaging the public in her work through citizen science games and computational challenges.
Dr. Lundberg holds a Master’s degree in Bioengineering and a PhD in Biotechnology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She has served as Secretary General of the Human Proteome Organization, and is actively involved in advisory roles for numerous open-access databases and cell mapping efforts such as the CZI AI Virtual Cell, Human Cell Atlas consortium, UniProt db, Reactome db, Human Proteome Project and various pharma and biotech companies. As a token of her leadership skills and advocate for open science, she was twice recognized as top 10 under 40 for future leaders in biopharma and omics. -
Matthew Lungren
Adjunct Professor, Biomedical Data Science
BioDr. Matthew Lungren is a physician-scientist and AI leader whose work has helped shape modern multimodal healthcare AI from early research through large-scale deployment. He joined Stanford University in 2014 as clinical research faculty, where he led a fully dedicated pediatric interventional radiology clinical service and established an NIH- and industry-supported clinical AI research program that helped catalyze what became the Stanford Center for AI in Medicine & Imaging. He remains an Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford and also holds a part-time clinical appointment at UCSF.
Dr. Lungren has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications with more than 35,000 citations, and he has taught more than 100,000 learners through AI-in-healthcare courses across platforms including Coursera and LinkedIn Learning. His broader contributions include advancing multimodal imaging-plus-EHR approaches, open-sourcing AI-ready medical imaging datasets and models, and serving in national leadership roles across the radiology AI community. After a sabbatical in 2021, he transitioned from academia to industry and joined Microsoft, where he served in senior leadership roles including Chief Scientific Officer for Microsoft Health & Life Sciences. At Microsoft, he founded and led cross-company teams that shipped multimodal healthcare foundation models and agentic, auditable generative AI workflows into production, including healthcare agent orchestration capabilities and major EHR partnerships, and led the health and life sciences partnerships with OpenAI.
Dr. Lungren is also a top rated instructor leading AI in Healthcare courses designed especially for learners with non-technical backgrounds:

Liqun Luo
Ann and Bill Swindells Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how neurons are organized into specialized circuits to perform specific functions and how these circuits are assembled during development. We have developed molecular-genetic and viral tools, and are combining them with transcriptomic, proteomic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to study these problems. Topics include: 1) assembly of the fly olfactory circuit; 2) assembly of neural circuits in the mouse brain; 3) organization and function of neural circuits; 4) Tool development.

Richard Luthy
Member, Bio-X
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDick Luthy studies sustainable solutions to urban water supplies and management of contaminated sediments. Current work includes experimentation and systems-level analysis of innovative, decentralized water reuse and management of urban stormwater for water supply. He is working with a group to assess strategies for coping with reduced water imports and requirements from the State's Water Board to leave more water in California rivers for ecosystems.

David Maahs
Lucile Salter Packard Professor of Pediatrics and Professor, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
On Partial Leave from 02/09/2026 To 03/10/2026BioDr David M. Maahs is the Lucile Salter Packard Professor of Pediatrics, Division Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology, and Associate Chair for Academic Affairs in Pediatrics at Stanford University and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. He earned his MD followed by Pediatric Residency at the University of New Mexico. After 3 years on New Mexico’s faculty, Dr. Maahs completed a Pediatric Endocrinology fellowship and a concurrent PhD in Epidemiology at the University of Colorado. He remained on Colorado’s faculty for 10 years, advancing to Professor of Pediatrics before moving to Stanford. Prior to his medical career, Dr. Maahs received a BA and MA in English from the University of Kansas and was inspired to pursue a medical career after serving in the Peace Corps with assignments in Tunisia and the Central African Republic.
Dr. Maahs’ leadership experiences include being a past co-Chair (2013-16) for Protocols and Publications with the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange for which he continues as Director of International Collaborations. This complements his role as President-elect for the International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD, 2021-25) and Editor-in-Chief for the 2018 ISPAD Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines. He served on the Professional Practice Committee for the American Diabetes Association (ADA, 2016-18), which writes the annual ADA Standards of Care. Previously, he served on the ADA Scientific Sessions committee representing the Council on Youth. He has also served on national committees for the American Heart Association, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, and multiple journal editorial boards and review committees.
His scholarly interest is improving care and preventing complications in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Along with Dr Peter Chase, he is author of the 12th and 13th editions of Understanding Diabetes, or ‘Pink Panther,’ which are the most widely used educational books for children newly diagnosed with T1D, distributed internationally by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF). More specifically, he has conducted epidemiologic studies that help generate hypotheses for clinical studies, including trials to develop artificial pancreas systems to improve glucose control, lower disease burden, prevent the complications of diabetes, and reduce disparities in diabetes care. He is author or co-author of over 350 research publications. His multi-disciplinary research has been funded by the JDRF, the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the Helmsley Charitable Trust, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Dr Maahs is Associate Director for the recently formed and NIDDK P30 funded Stanford University Diabetes Research Center (https://sdrc.stanford.edu). His collaborations extend to his role as Principal Investigator (PI) or steering committee member for NIH funded multi-center clinical trials including the FLEX, PERL, and ACTION studies as well as multiple Artificial Pancreas clinical trials. Education, mentorship, and training leadership includes being Program Director with Dr. Georgeanna Klingensmith on the Barbara Davis Center T32 and K12 training grants in Pediatric Endocrinology while at the University of Colorado. He is the PI on the Stanford NIH funded K12 "Training Research Leaders in Type 1 Diabetes.' Dr Maahs is also the Associate Chair for Academic Affairs for the Department of Pediatrics.
While in the Peace Corps, David met his wife, Christine Walravens, who is also a Pediatrician at Stanford. They enjoy outdoor activities and traveling with their adult children.
