Yan Mia Min
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiothoracic Surgery
BioYan Mia Min is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Epidemiology and Population Health and a Stanford Data Science Scholar. Her background is in medicine and health economics. She completed her residency in general surgery. She just completed her Master's in Statistics in the summer of 2022.
Yan has worked as a health policy analyst in the health finance cluster at the World Health Organization in Geneva. She also took a leadership role in establishing the WELL Living Laboratory Cohort at the Stanford Prevention Research Center.
Yan’s current research is focused on rigorous causal inference theories and modeling in large-scale observational settings, with particular applications in cardiothoracic surgeries, where randomization is often unavailable. Her training in epidemiology makes her share a strong sense of integrity in research conduct. Along with her teammates, Yan is writing an e-book, Open, Rigorous and Reproducible Science: A Practitioner’s Manual, to address the following three phases of scientific research: design, analysis, and publication. -
Pardis Miri
Basic Life Research Scientist, Genetics
BioPardis Miri, PhD, is a Research Scientist and former Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, where she develops technology aimed at improving mental well-being. She holds a PhD in Computer Science and has extensive training in affective science under Professor James J. Gross. Pardis leads a multidisciplinary team (http://wehab.stanford.edu
) conducting clinical and real-world studies to assess how wearable technologies can reduce stress and enhance glymphatic flow in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients.
During her postdoctoral work, Pardis served as the principal investigator of FAR, a multi-disciplinary project to design, build, and evaluate an end-to-end wearable system for children with emotion dysregulation, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. FAR aims to support more adaptive emotion-regulation strategies through a combination of systems design and behavioral research.
Pardis is advised by Professors Michael Snyder, Keith Marzullo, and James J. Gross, and collaborates with Professor Antonio Hardan of the Stanford School of Medicine on research involving children with autism spectrum disorder. -
Vaishali Mittal
Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)
BioVaishali Mittal, MD is a Postdoctoral Clinical Fellow in the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University under the guidance of Dr. Jean Y. Tang.
Her current research is focused on epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of rare diseases that cause the skin and mucous membranes to blister easily. She is involved in conducting long-term clinical trials examining the application of an autologous, gene-corrected keratinocyte sheet for the treatment of recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB). In addition, she is currently leading several research projects, including investigation of genotype-phenotype associations in multiple subtypes of EB, creation of an online platform for EB patients/families and investigators to collaborate together on research, and development of an online genetic registry for EB patients using a novel, home-based genetic testing kit.
Vaishali received her medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine and completed her internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Brockton Hospital.
