  • Stephen A. Baccus
    Associate Professor, Neurobiology
    baccus@stanford.edu

    We study how the circuitry of the retina translates the visual scene into electrical impulses in the optic nerve.

  • Juyoung Kim
    Postdoc
    peterfish.jy@gmail.com

    I am a research scientist in Baccus lab. I am studying the function of diverse sets of interneurons in the retina by using two-photon microscopy and electrophysiology. Before joining the Baccus lab, I was studying the optics of nanolaser and device physics during my Ph.D. in Physics from KAIST, Korea.

    Understanding the relationship between statistical models and the biophysics of retinal pathways. http://niru.org

  • Lane McIntosh
    PhD student, neuroscience
    lmcintosh@stanford.edu

    I'm a PhD candidate co-advised by Surya Ganguli. My research focuses on understanding general principles underlying sensory processing, in particular using tools from deep learning and information theory. More information at my website (lanemcintosh.com). M.A. Mathematics, University of Hawaii. B.A. Computational Neuroscience, University of Chicago.

  • Mike Menz​​​
    Research Associate
    mdmenz@stanford.edu

    I am a Basic Life Research Scientist working in the Baccus lab for more than ten years. I have two ongoing research projects. The first consists of optical recording from a population of inhibitory interneurons known as amacrine cells while simultaneously electrically recording from a population of retinal output cells (ganglion cells). My second project is focused on optimizing and understanding how ultrasonic neurostimulation works by using our in vitro retina animal model.
