Announcing 2019 SIGFs Affiliated with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute partners with the Vice Provost for Graduate Education to award Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowships (SIGFs) in the area of neuroscience.
These fellowships provide current graduate students, whose research interests are in the interdisciplinary neurosciences, with three years of funding support. Learn more
Isabel Low
Pfeiffer Research Foundation Fellow
PhD student
Department of Neurobiology
Research Project: A multi-rank statistical model to determine the impact of behavioral state on navigational coding by medial entorhinal cortex
Primary Advisor: Lisa Giocomo (Neurobiology)
Co-Advisor: Surya Ganguli (Applied Physics)
Isabel works in the Giocomo Lab studying how our internal state—like whether we are alert or tired—affects the way our brains work.
Khaled Kamal Saab
Mark and Mary Stevens Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow
PhD student
Department of Electrical Engineering
Research Project: Weak supervision in medical multi-modal time series
Primary Advisor: Daniel Rubin (Biomedial Data Science)
Co-Advisor: Christopher Re (Computer Science)
Khaled is currently working on using multiple sensing modalities to improve detection and localization of seizures.
Jeffrey Wang
Mark and Mary Stevens Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow
MD/PhD student
Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) , Biophysics
Department of Physics
Research Project: A spatiotemporally-resolved circuit model of the physiologic and behavioral effects of subanesthetic ketamine activity in the limbic system
Primary Advisor: Raag Airran (Radiology - Neuroradiology)
Co-Advisor: Brian Knutson (Psychology)
Jeffrey is using focused ultrasound to noninvasively deliver these agents to specific parts of the brain to ideally maximize their therapeutic efficacy while minimizing other off-target effects.
