Dr. Kristan Staudenmayer received her medical degree at the University of Texas at Southwestern Medical School in 1999, and completed her residency in General Surgery at Parkland Hospital in 2006. During her post-graduate training, she conducted NIH T32-funded research at Harborview Hospital evaluating the effects of innate immunity on trauma. She obtained further training in Trauma and Surgical Critical at San Francisco General Hospital, completing her training in 2008. She was subsequently double-boarded in General Surgery and Surgical Critical Care.

Dr. Lisa Goldman Rosas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health and the Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford School of Medicine. An epidemiologist by training, Dr. Goldman Rosas’ research focuses on addressing disparities in chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, depression, and cancer among racial/ethnic minority families. This research features rigorous quantitative and qualitative methodologies, participatory qualitative approaches, and shared leadership with patient and community partners.

Dr. Suzan Carmichael's research focuses on finding ways to improve maternal and infant health.

Dr. Joo Ha Hwang specializes in early detection of gastrointestinal malignancies including esophageal cancer, gastric (stomach) cancer, pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer and colon cancer. Dr. Hwang performs advanced endoscopic procedures including EUS-FNA, ERCP and enteroscopy. In addition, Dr. Hwang also performs per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) to resect large colorectal polyps, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to resect early esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers.

The overarching goal of Dr. Jason Yeatman's research is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the process of learning to read, how these mechanisms differ in children with dyslexia, and to design literacy intervention programs that are effective across the wide spectrum of learning differences.

Dr. Serena Sanulli's lab studies the organizing principles of the genome and how these principles regulate cell identity and developmental switches. They combine Biochemistry and Biophysical methods such as NMR and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange-MS with Cell Biology, and Genetics to explore genome organization across length and time scales and understand how cells leverage the diverse biophysical properties of chromatin to regulate genome function.

A viable organ engineering pipeline requires the mass production of hundreds of billions of cells, tailorable and programmable cellular composition, and technologies to assemble these cells with perfusable vascular networks to support cell viability. Dr. Mark Skylar-Scott's lab is developing integrative technologies, including wetware, hardware, and software, to address cardiac tissue engineering at whole-organ scale.

Dr. Hae Young Noh's research focuses on using 'Structures as Sensors' to understand indoor human/animal activities and health. The result of her work has been deployed in a number of real-world applications, from trains, to the Amish community, to eldercare centers, to pig farms.

Dr. Jesse Engreitz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics and the Children’s Heart Center Basic Sciences and Engineering (BASE) Initiative.

Dr. Livnat Jerby's research focuses on multicellular dynamics, as a disease driver and therapeutic avenue, particularly in the context of cancer immunology. In her work, she aims to identify the drivers, molecular underpinnings, and causal structure of multifactorial immune evasion mechanisms, and use this information to identify new and more effective ways to augment and unleash targeted immunity via combinatorial interventions.
