Ryan Nitta
Sr Res Scientist-Basic Life, Neurosurgery
Current Role at StanfordThe main project of the Li lab is to elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for maintaining and initiating brain tumor growth. Previously the Li lab has identified an interesting protein, known as casein kinase 2, which plays an integral role in adult brain tumor growth. My goal is to expand on this initial finding and determine if casein kinase 2 could be a therapeutically relevant drug target in adult brain tumors and whether this protein plays a role in pediatric brain tumors. The role of the candidate would be the lead researcher on these projects, as well as managing and leading the undergraduate and medical students in the lab. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining the laboratory and assisting in grant writing.

Joyce Njoroge, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Njoroge is a board-certified physician and fellowship-trained cardiologist with the Advanced Heart Failure Program at Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.
Dr. Njoroge has extensive clinical experience diagnosing and treating cardiovascular complications that develop during pregnancy or postpartum. She currently provides care at the Stanford Health Care Heart and Vascular Clinic with a particular focus on patients with a history of pregnancy-associated heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
Dr. Njoroge’s research efforts involve identifying inherited genetic changes and biological markers that could help improve screening and care for pregnant women in higher risk populations. This includes determining the causes of disproportionately high incidences of heart-related complications and deaths experienced by Black women during and after pregnancy. Dr. Njoroge is also currently recruiting patients for a large-scale, multicenter clinical trial evaluating a drug to treat cardiovascular complications during pregnancy.
Dr. Njoroge has published her work in numerous prestigious peer-reviewed journals, including Circulation Research and the Journal of Cardiac Failure. She also co-authored a chapter on cardiovascular disease in pregnancy in the most recent edition of the book Current Diagnosis and Treatment: Cardiology.
Dr. Njoroge is a member of the Association of Black Cardiologists, the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Failure Society of America. -
Chloe Nobuhara
Masters Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Autumn 2025
BioDr. Chloe Nobuhara is a Stanford general surgery resident and AI researcher dedicated to upholding patient safety standards while pursing aggressive surgical innovation. Currently on a two-year professional development track during residency, her research explores the intersection of AI and surgical practice. She has collaborated with the Medical AI and Computer Vision (MARVL) Lab to use computer vision and vision language models for performance assessment, worked with the Operating Room Black Box technologies for ambient intelligence and automated documentation, and most recently is helping to organize a foreign body identification challenge for MICCAI.
Dr. Nobuhara holds an MD from Duke University and an undergraduate degree from Northeastern University. Originally hailing from Honolulu, Hawaii, she brings a global perspective to her work, having flown over 100,000 miles (4x around the globe) for speaking engagements and conferences during her research time.
