Thomas Graeber
Thomas Graeber is faculty in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology and a member of the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging at UCLA, and is a Melanoma Research Alliance Established Investigator and an American Cancer Society Research Scholar. His background includes physics, cancer biology, signal transduction, metabolism, computational biology, proteomics and metabolomics. His work builds experimental and computational approaches to studying cancer signaling and metabolism from a systems perspective.
Alan Garfinkel
Dr. Garfinkel graduated from Cornell and received his PhD from Harvard in philosophy and mathematics. He is particularly interested in nonlinear dynamics and its applications to medicine.
Benjamin Ellingson
Dr. Ellingson is the Director of the UCLA Brain Tumor Imaging Laboratory (BTIL), Co-Director of the Center for Computer Vision and Imaging Biomarkers, and a member of the UCLA Brain Tumor Program. Dr. Ellingson’s research involves the development, testing, and implementation of advanced MRI and PET imaging biomarkers for the characterization of brain tumor biology and response evaluation in clinical trials. Dr. Ellingson has been a co-author on more than 100 peer-reviewed original research articles relating to neuroimaging. Dr. Ellingson has extensive experience performing data management and imaging analysis in multicenter clinical trials in brain cancer and he currently serves as the Chair of the Neuro-Imaging Committee for the NIH-funded Adult rain Tumor Consortium (ABTC), Chair of the Imaging Committee for the en and Catherine Ivy Foundation Consortium for Early Phase Clinical Trials, Chair of the Imaging Committee for the new Glioblastoma Global Adaptive Trial, is a member of the ACRIN head/neck/neuro committee imaging committee, and is the co-chair the imaging committee for specific brain tumor trials run by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.
Victor Edgerton
Dr. V. Reggie Edgerton received his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from Michigan State University. He has been at the University of California, Los Angeles, since 1968.
Joseph DiStefano
Joe joined the UCLA Engineering faculty in 1966, Medicine faculty in 1970, Computer Science faculty in 1982 and became chair of the undergrad Cybernetics Interdepartmental Program (IDP) in 1981. He Chairs the undergrad Computational & Systems Biology IDP, the Computational Systems Biology grad program in Computer Science, Co-Chairs the Biosystem Science and Engineering Major in the Biomedical Engineering graduate IDP and directs the UCLA Biocybernetics Research Laboratory.
