Shruti Singh Kakan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioI am a Biomedical Scientist with a Ph.D. in Translational Sciences. I worked with Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) and NOD derived mice models of autoimmune Sjögren's Disease (SjD) for Biomarker Discovery and investigated disease mechanisms of autoimmune dacryoadenitis in the Lacrimal Glands. Using RNA Sequencing and autoantibody microarrays I validated microRNA biomarkers in human subjects.

BioChunyin Siu (Alex) is a postdoctoral scholar in the Brain Dynamics Lab, led by Prof. Mannish Saggar, at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He specializes in topological data analysis and its application in analyzing neuroimaging data.
He got his PhD degree in Applied Mathematics at Cornell University under the supervision of Prof. Gennady Samorodnitsky. Before that, he got this MPhil. degree in Mathematics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Ronald (Lokming) Lui. -
Alexandre Six
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research is grounded in my curiosity about the living world and my desire to contribute to impactful, concrete discoveries. I began my journey in the world of biotechnology and microalgae during my studies at UTC in France, where I grew Volvox algae for tissue engineering purposes. Since then, I have been interested in studying and developing the potential of microalgae. During my PhD at CEA Cadarache, I investigated starch production in green microalgae for use in bioplastics. This work involved studying the induction, physiology and light requirements of starch accumulation, as well as developing a bioprocess for starch extraction, purification and plasticization. Working with Yonghua Li-Beisson, I have generated mutant strains of Ostreococcus tauri, one of the smallest known eukaryotes, to study the evolution of lipid metabolism in algae and plants. Here at Stanford, I am developing a genetic toolbox for non-model cyanobacteria in the Yeh lab.

Sean Paul Spencer, MD,PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
BioSean Spencer, MD,PhD is a Gastroenterologist and Physician Scientist at Stanford University working to uncover the role of dietary intake on the gut microbiome and mucosal immune system. Sean obtained his medical degree University of Pennsylvania, earning his PhD studying nutritional immunology with Yasmine Belkaid,PhD at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), after which he moved to Boston for residency training at Massachusetts General Hospital and completed his Gastroenterology training at Stanford University. Sean’s career goal is to study mechanisms by which dietary intake influences our microbiome and immune system to better understand and treat gastrointestinal disease. Sean has launched a microbiome-focused clinical practice at Stanford where he is working to develop novel microbiome diagnostics and microbial medicines.

Chelse Spinner, PhD, MPH
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioAn Ohio native, Dr. Chelse Spinner obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences (Biomedical Studies) with a minor in Health Education from the University of Cincinnati. She earned a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology and Maternal & Child Health (MCH) from the University of South Florida. She received a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Health Sciences with a concentration in Behavioral Sciences from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Spinner is certified in public health and has experience working across health systems. Her research interests include health disparities, women’s health, social determinants of health, domains of structural racism, and oral-systemic health within the MCH population. She employs quantitative and qualitative methods in the hopes of providing innovative and evidence-informed research to improve health outcomes for marginalized and underserved communities. Her research agenda intends to focus on the exploration of social and structural factors that impact health and well-being.
