Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's lab have discovered and engineered new microbial opsin proteins and cell trafficking tools to enable selective cell-type specific, light-sensitive switches for neuromodulation.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Diesseroth's laboratory have discovered a Dopamine receptor type 2 specific promoter (D2SP) that can be used to transfect, identify and isolate Dopamine R2 (D2R)-expressing cells.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have developed a selective approach to treat anxiety. Anxiety is characterized by several features that are coordinately regulated by diverse neuronal system outputs.
Ion channel dysfunctions lead to a wide array of illnesses including epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmia and type II diabetes. However, the number of clinically approved drugs for restoring normal ion channel function is limited.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a novel method to rapidly identify neurophysiological measures associated with psychiatric disease and then use those correlates to screen for therapeutics.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have combined optogenetics with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to enable highly specific in vivo analysis of brain circuits.
Researchers at Stanford have identified polymorphisms in SIRPalpha that can be used to predict responsiveness to immunotherapy. Cancer cells can evade elimination by the immune system by expressing the CD47 "don't eat me" signal.
Researchers in the Sunwoo Lab have developed a method to differentiate intra-epithelial innate lymphoid cells type 1 (ieILC1s) from conventional peripheral natural kills cells for immunotherapeutic purposes.
Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is an enzyme which acetylates lysine on histone proteins and is intricately involved with regulating gene transcription.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable hybrid frame-event based near eye gaze tracking system that has a superior speed while using a lower data bandwidth. They demonstrated real time results for gaze-tracking.
