Gustavo Chau
Stanford Interdisciplinary Fellow
PhD student
Department of Bioengineering
Research Project: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Epileptogenesis
Primary Advisor: Jennifer McNab (Radiology)
Co-Advisor: Michelle Monje (Neurology)
Gustavo uses quantitative MRI to non-invasively probe white matter microstructural changes during epileptogenesis.
Kathryn Wu
Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow
PhD student
Program in Neurosciences
Research Project: How do Schwann cells sort and myelinate axons in the developing peripheral nervous system?
Primary Advisor: Brad Zuchero (Neurosurgery)
Co-Advisor: Wah Chiu (Bioengineering, Microbiology and Immunology, and Photon Science)
Kathryn uses advanced imaging techniques to probe mechanisms underlying the motility of Schwann cell protrusions during both sorting and myelination.
