The research Dr. Yvonne Maldonado has conducted has been focused on epidemiologic aspects of viral vaccine development and prevention of perinatal HIV transmission. A major project has been to identify the molecular epidemiology of factors affecting the immunogenicity of oral polio vaccine (OPV) among children living in developing areas of the world, where OPV immunogenicity is poor. Dr. Maldonando's group has identified several factors which affect the poor immunogenicity of OPV and will conduct clinical studies to attempt to improve immunogenicity.
Dr. Yuyan Wang is an assistant professor of marketing and Kevin J. O’Donohue Family Faculty Scholar for 2024–2025 at Stanford Graduate School of Business. With over six years of industry experience at Google DeepMind and Uber as a machine learning researcher, she has designed algorithms for understanding and improving the long-term values of recommender systems, many of which have been deployed globally in multiple products at Google and Uber Eats.
