Rabindra Shivnaraine
Rabindra (Robin) Shivnaraine is a post-doctoral fellow working with Professor Brian K. Kobilka in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. Professor Kobilka has demonstrated that movements within G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) underlie their function. To directly measure these movements, Robin is collaborating with the laboratory of Professor Steven Chu to bring innovative single-molecule techniques to capture and assess these movements.

Yi Liu
Yi is a Ph.D. candidate in Ada Poon’s group in the Department of Electrical Engineering. She is currently studying the mechanisms of extracellular electrical stimulation and analyzing the effects of different current waveforms applied at the electrode. In the future, she plans to electrically stimulate the mouse hippocampus for memory recovery as a potential treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Before joining Stanford, Yi received her B.S. degree in physics at Peking University in China.
Isabel Iselin Cusick Low
Isabel is a PhD candidate in the Stanford Neurosciences Program. She works in the Giocomo Lab studying how our internal state—like whether we are alert or tired—affects the way our brains work. Prior to Stanford, Isabel received a BA from Bowdoin College and worked as a research technician at Harvard Medical School. In addition to her graduate work, Isabel is Co-President of NeuWrite West (neuwritewest.org), where she works to promote communication between neuroscientists and non-scientists so as to make neuroscience accessible to anyone curious about the brain.
