Stefania Demuro
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical and Systems Biology
BioStefania received her master’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) and later moved to Philadelphia to conduct organic chemistry research at the University of Pennsylvania. Returning to Italy, she completed her Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Bologna in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology, focusing on the development of first-in-class triple protein kinase inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related tauopathies (Prof. Andrea Cavalli).
As part of her doctoral training, Stefania spent time at UC San Diego in Prof. Carlo Ballatore’s group, where she developed novel microtubule stabilizers for the treatment of tauopathies.
Drawn to the interconnection between chemistry and biology, and after applying her medicinal chemistry expertise to research in diabetes and neuropathic pain at Stanford ChEM-H, she joined the Chen Lab to investigate the role of ALDH1B1 in tumorigenesis and HIPK4 as a target for male contraception. -

Dr. Qiwen Deng
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research aims to understand how immune–stromal interactions shape tissue injury, repair, and fibrosis across chronic diseases. I combine multiplexed spatial proteomics (CODEX), single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and molecular pathology approaches to dissect the organization and function of complex tissue microenvironments. By mapping spatially resolved cellular neighborhoods in human biopsies, I seek to uncover conserved and disease-specific patterns that can guide biomarker discovery and therapeutic development.
Working within a laboratory focused on the mechanisms and therapeutic targeting of fibrotic diseases, I investigate chronic kidney disease alongside other models of organ fibrosis. With a background spanning molecular biology, therapeutic development, and spatial biology, I aim to advance studies that connect detailed tissue analysis with potential clinical applications. I welcome opportunities for collaborative research in chronic kidney disease and other fibrosis-related conditions.
