Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBasidiomycetes, mushroom-forming fungi, hold great potential for converting agricultural waste into valuable food and products, but we lack basic tools to understand and engineer their metabolism. My work leverages genomic data and computational methods to develop a suite of synthetic biology tools to engineer and modulate mushrooms biology. In addition, I use Coprinopsis cinerea as a model to probe substrate-dependent growth and metabolic output across defined and real-world feedstocks.

Gauri Desai
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioDr. Gauri Desai is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Female Athlete Science and Translational Research Program (FASTR). She is a biomechanist, with a research focus on female-specific biomechanical risk factors for sport-related injuries. She integrates biomechanics principles with physiology to provide an all-round perspective on improving performance and mitigating injury risk in female athletes. Dr. Desai's research complements human subject experiments with insights from computer modeling and simulation, to answer research questions that are challenging to address via human subject research studies alone. Beyond research, she is an active contributor to the sports science community through mentorship and advocacy for women in sport.

BioI design and drive studies using wearables that combine modelling, data analysis and software development to address problems that limit human performance.
I have with a particular interest in female health, and work to translate findings into practical solutions. -
Seraphine Kamayirese
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a protein and peptide biochemist with a focus on biophysical characterization, structural activity relationship (SAR)study, and design and optimization of peptides targeting disease-relevant proteins. My Ph.D. research focused on designing and optimizing ligands that target the 14-3-3ε protein to disrupt its interaction with the cell cycle regulator CDC25A, an interaction known to suppress apoptosis in squamous cell carcinoma. Inhibiting this pathway is expected to promote apoptosis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. At Stanford University, I am expanding my research to study antimicrobial peptidoids and peptides such as LL-37 and their interactions with amyloid beta peptides, and the potential application of the resulting complexes as antiviral therapeutics. I bring strong experience in rational peptide design, structural activity relationship studies, molecular dynamics simulations, peptides and peptoids synthesis and purification, protein expression, and biophysical assays. My research has led to multiple peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national and international conferences, and awards, including the Young Investigator Poster Award at the American Peptide Symposium.

Cuyler Luck
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a primarily lab-based (but computationally competent) biologist with a broad interest in understanding both how cells evolve to cause disease and how we might leverage similar strategies to engineer new behaviors into organisms. I enjoy doing science in diverse research areas (previously including malaria, chromatin remodeling in yeast, and several types of cancer), and I am excited to continue this trend by building synthetic biology tools for deployment in plants as a postdoc.
