About

Byron Reeves is the Paul C. Edwards Professor of Communication at Stanford University and also holds a courtesy appointment in the Stanford School of Education. He has a long history of experimental research focused on the psychological processing of media, examining how media influence attention, memory, and emotional responses, and applying this research to areas such as speech dialogue systems, interactive games, advanced displays, social robots, and autonomous cars. Reeves recently co-launched the Human Screenome Project with Stanford colleagues Nilam Ram and Thomas Robinson, a study designed to collect moment-by-moment changes in technology use across various applications, platforms, and screens. At Stanford, Reeves has served as Director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information, Co-Director of the H-STAR Institute (Human Sciences and Technologies Advanced Research), and was the founding Director of mediaX, a university-industry program launched in 2001 to facilitate research at the intersection of academic and applied interests. His professional experience includes work at Microsoft Research, collaborations with several technology startups, and involvement with media policy at the FTC, FCC, US Congress, and White House. He is an elected Fellow of the International Communication Association, has received the ICA Fellows book award for 'The Media Equation' (co-authored with Clifford Nass), and the Novim Foundation Epiphany Science and Society Award.

• Novel Radiotracer for ImmunoPET Imaging of PD-1 Checkpoint Expression on Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes

  Bioconjugate Chemistry · 2015-08-26 · 168 citations

  article

  Immune checkpoint signaling through the programmed death 1 (PD-1) axis to its ligand (PD-L1) significantly dampens anti-tumor immune responses. Cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors that block this suppressive signaling have exhibited objective response rates of 20-40% for advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, and malignant melanomas. This represents a tremendous advance in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, all patients do not respond to immune checkpoint blockade. Recent findings sugges…

• A PET Imaging Strategy to Visualize Activated T Cells in Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Elicited by Allogenic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

  Cancer Research · 2017-05-31 · 130 citations

  article

  Abstract A major barrier to successful use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a devastating condition that arises when donor T cells attack host tissues. With current technologies, aGVHD diagnosis is typically made after end-organ injury and often requires invasive tests and tissue biopsies. This affects patient prognosis as treatments are dramatically less effective at late disease stages. Here, we show that a novel PET radiotracer, 2′-d…
