Callie Chappell
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioCallie Chappell is a Ph.D. candidate in Ecology and Evolution with the Fukami Lab. Callie is an ecologist and studies how genetic variation influences how ecological communities change over time. Her dissertation research focuses on nectar-inhabiting yeast and bacteria. With a background in bioengineering, Callie is particularly interested in the conservation and policy impacts of gene editing wild organisms and the cascading impacts that genetic variation can have on ecological and evolutionary processes.
Outside of the lab, Callie leads several groups that work in the intersection of science and society. Callie was the 2020-21 President of Stanford Science Policy Group (SSPG), a chapter of the National Science Policy Network and student organization that engages scientists with policy on the local, state, national, and international level. Callie also co-leads BioJam, an education program that collaborates with high school students and community organizations from low- income communities in the Greater Bay Area of California. BioJam participants and organizers learn together about bioengineering and biodesign through the lens of culture and creativity. Callie is also a professional artist and scientific illustrator. Callie has participated in several fellowships at the intersection of science and society including the Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2021), Graduate Ethics Fellow with Stanford’s McCoy Center for Ethics in Society (2019-2020), BioFutures Fellow with the Stanford Bio Policy and Leadership in Society (Bio.Polis) Initiative (2020-2021), and Katherine S. McCarter Policy Fellow with the Ecological Society of America (2020). -
Lauren Cote
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioI'm a developmental biologist with a background in planarian regeneration who is studying epithelial cells in Jessica Feldman's lab as a Damon Runyon Fellow supported by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. I'm interested in understanding better how different kinds of epithelial cells, like the cells that line your gut and the cells that make up your skin, are able to correctly connect to one another and form fully continuous organs.

Daniela de Angeli Dutra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioHello, I am Daniela and I am a disease ecologist and parasitologist from Brazil. My research focuses on disease ecology and my main goal is to fill gaps in research that will lead to a better understanding of the patterns and mechanisms that contribute to parasite spread and the possible ways to mitigate pathogen impact. I have already explored a broad range of avian parasites, from ticks down to protozoans, such as Babesia. However, most of my research is focused on malaria and malaria-like (haemosporidian) parasites. During my undergraduate, master's, and PhD, I studied malaria parasites infecting wild, domestic, and rehabilitating avian hosts. Since then, I have dedicated myself to investigating macroecological and evolutionary patterns of parasite-host dynamics. My current research focuses on the effect of global change on vector-borne diseases. Ultimately, my research should help to improve models to predict, prevent, or mitigate disease outbreaks and human burden.
