Gopanandan Parthasarathy
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioDr Nandan Parthasarathy is a hepatologist and physician-scientist in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford University.
After obtaining his medical degree in JIPMER, India, he completed a 2 year clinical research fellowship at Mayo Clinic, following which he completed his residency training at Cleveland Clinic, and GI and transplant hepatology fellowships at Mayo Clinic. During his fellowship, his research work was focused on exploring the immune mechanisms of liver injury in metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis.
Clinically, he is focused on taking care of patients with MASH, cirrhosis and liver cancer.
His career goal is to study the gut-immune system-liver injury axis in order to bring novel therapeutics from the bench to bedside in patients with liver disease. -

Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioMy research centers on how the innate immune system shapes tissue remodeling in health and disease. During my PhD, I uncovered a key role for resident macrophages in driving cardiac fibrosis, identifying a macrophage-derived chemokine that directly activates cardiac fibroblasts. Building on this foundation, my postdoctoral work at Stanford focuses on neutrophil–macrophage crosstalk in disrupted alveolarization in neonatal mice and patients. By integrating cellular, molecular, and translational approaches, I aim to define how innate immune pathways orchestrate extracellular matrix remodeling. Ultimately, my goal is to identify critical therapeutic targets that improve outcomes in ECM-related diseases.

Akshay Paruchuri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
AI4ALL Graduate Mentor, Stanford Pre-Collegiate StudiesBioI'm a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, advised by Professor Ehsan Adeli. I'm affiliated with the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) Lab and the Stanford Vision and Learning (SVL) Lab. I earned my PhD in computer science at UNC Chapel Hill under the advisement of Professor Henry Fuchs. I build and evaluate multimodal AI systems, from general-purpose methods for interactive computing to applications in healthcare. Currently, I'm working toward a future where multimodal AI can safely and reliably integrate into healthcare systems in order to improve the entire patient journey, from advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical support to all-day health monitoring and management, with the aim to achieve better therapeutic outcomes for cancer and aging-related diseases. I'm generally interested in opportunities that would allow me to continue to deepen my research expertise while leading and working on projects that benefit people everywhere, whether through foundational research, real-world products, or shaping how these systems are evaluated and deployed.
Previously, I was a visiting researcher at IDSIA USI-SUPSI working with Professor Piotr Didyk on the interpretability of multimodal language models (MLMs) with respect to capabilities such as visual perception. I've published in leading venues on topics such as remote health sensing (WACV, NeurIPS), 3D reconstruction (ECCV, MICCAI), LLM-based conversational agents for personal health (EMNLP, Nature Communications), and energy-efficient operation of smart glasses (ISMAR). I've done internships at Google AR/VR, Google Consumer Health Research, and Kitware.
