Fateme (Fatima) Nateghi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioAs a postdoc researcher at the Division of Computational Medicine, I find myself at the exciting intersection of machine learning and healthcare. My journey began with a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven in Belgium, where I explored the complexities of machine learning algorithms and their transformative potential in clinical settings. My research focused on adapting these algorithms for time-to-event data, a method used to predict when specific events may occur in a patient’s future.
At Stanford, my work centers on building trustworthy AI systems to enhance healthcare delivery. I develop and evaluate machine learning models that integrate structured electronic health records (EHRs) and unstructured clinical notes to support real-world clinical decision-making. My recent projects include predicting treatment retention in opioid use disorder, improving antibiotic stewardship for urinary tract infections, and enabling digital consultations through large language models (LLMs). I'm particularly interested in embedding-based retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods that help bridge cutting-edge AI research with clinical practice.
My role involves not just advancing the integration of machine learning in healthcare but also collaborating with a diverse team of clinicians, data scientists, and engineers. Together, we're striving to unravel complex healthcare challenges and ultimately improve patient outcomes. -
Shaghayegh Navabpour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research investigates how genetic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic mechanisms shape brain function and contribute to psychiatric disorders, with a special focus on PTSD. By combining large-scale human genomic data with molecular neuroscience approaches, I aim to identify cell-type-specific pathways and therapeutic targets that advance our understanding and treatment of mental health conditions.

Kenneth Nieser
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioKen Nieser is a postdoctoral research fellow through the Big Data-Scientist Training Enhancement Program (BD-STEP) at the Palo Alto VA and in the Department of Surgery, Stanford School of Medicine. Ken received a BA in Physics and Mathematics from Swarthmore College and a PhD in Epidemiology with a minor in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his PhD, Ken developed and applied statistical methods for improving algorithmic fairness of data analyses used to inform screening and treatment of mental illnesses. These projects included development of an approach for detecting sample subsets with differential psychological symptom patterns and a sample representation reweighting method for improving the precision of subgroup-specific treatment effect estimation.
Ken’s current research interests are in health care inequities, quality measurement, and algorithmic fairness. During his fellowship, Ken will be working on investigating the statistical reliability of quality measures and decomposing health care disparities to provide practical information for resolving inequities, with applications in mental health care and surgical care. -
Kouta Niizuma
Basic Life Research Scientist, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioI am a Research Scientist in Prof. Hiromitsu Nakauchi's laboratory at Stanford University. I obtained my PhD in Immunology from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. During my doctoral studies in Prof. Akira Shibuya's laboratory, I focused on the characterization of cell surface receptors expressed on immune cells. I successfully cloned a novel human immunoglobulin-like receptor, CD300H, and established a specific monoclonal antibody. My research demonstrated that CD300H is expressed on a subset of human monocytes and dendritic cells and plays a crucial role in enhancing inflammation by promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
During my PhD, I also studied as a visiting scholar in Prof. Lewis L. Lanier's laboratory at UCSF, where I investigated the role of the activating receptor NKG2D on NK cells in viral immunity.
Since May 2018, I have been a member of the Nakauchi lab. My current research focuses on the development of new immunotherapies using myeloid cells derived from iPS cells, the generation of monoclonal antibodies, and hematopoietic stem cell biology. -
