The inventors have identified and developed an archaeal light-driven chloride pump (NpHR) from Natronomonas pharaonis for temporally precise optical inhibition of neural activity. NpHR allows either knockout of single action potentials, or sustained blockade of spiking.
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.
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 Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a novel system for modulating brain activity with moderate intensity focused ultrasound. In this technique, ultrasound is used to increase the intrinsic firing rate of targeted neurons.
The Dionne lab has developed ultrathin and compact devices for electrically driven beamsteering that fit on a semiconductor chip. These devices rely on resonant dielectric nanostructured surfaces known as "high quality factor" (high-Q) metasurfaces.
Stanford researchers at the Taylor Lab have developed software subroutines that can be used together with the open source software system Simvascular to improve the simulation of blood flow in modeling coronary arteries.
Developed at the Taylor Lab, Simvascular is an open source software package encompassing an entire cardiovascular modeling and simulation pipeline from image segmentation, three-dimensional (3D) solid modeling, and mesh generation, to
Stanford researchers have developed an efficient, virtual keyboard to facilitate independence and faster communication for those who use assistive technology.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple optical device for low-power, active light tuning. The device tunes the color of light across the visible spectrum and at select wavelengths by electrical biasing an array of micron sized pixels or nanowires.
Stanford researchers have developed an algorithm using deep learning architectures to predict cardiac function (ejection fraction) and trace the endocardium of the left ventricle from ultrasound echocardiogram videos.
Researchers in the Fan group have developed a method for epitaxial growth of double heterojunction semiconductor diodes capable of suppressing parasitic non-radiative recombination effects.
Stanford researchers have developed the first topical regenerative treatment for the oral cavity following chemo/radiation. Approximately 60,000 patients in the U.S. are annually diagnosed with head and neck cancer.
