Dr. Yonatan Winetraub

Biography

Yonatan Winetraub is an Instructor in Structural Biology at Stanford University, where he focuses on the development of next-generation medical imaging technologies aimed at improving early cancer diagnosis and treatment management. His research integrates multiple imaging modalities, including MRI, EEG, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Winetraub's innovative work involves the creation of virtual hematoxylin and eosin biopsy-like images that enhance understanding of cancer development and assist in tumor margin detection. He has received multidisciplinary training in engineering, physics, and biology, which is evident in his study of signals processing and imaging techniques. Winetraub is also a Bio-X Bowes fellow, emphasizing the utilization of machine learning to create virtual histology tools that allow for non-invasive cancer imaging at single-cell resolution. Prior to earning his PhD in Biophysics from the Stanford University School of Medicine, he co-founded SpaceIL, a non-profit organization that successfully launched a private robotic mission to the Moon. His future research interests include enhancing optical imaging methods and further exploring the correlation between OCT and histological sections to uncover new mechanisms in health and disease.
