Annika M. Weber
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
BioAnnika is a postdoctoral scholar in the Spencer Lab studying how gut microbes metabolize prebiotic fibers to produce bioactive metabolites linked to lowering disease risk. She holds an MS in Human Nutrition from the University of Sheffield and a PhD in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Colorado State University. Her work integrates multi-omic approaches to map diet-microbe-metabolite relationships. Annika aims to translate these mechanistic insights into microbiome-informed dietary strategies for reducing chronic diseases.

Kenneth Weber, DC, PhD
Assistant Professor (Research) of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery (Adult Neurosurgery) and of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention)
BioDr. Weber directs the Neuromuscular Insight Lab. Dr. Weber's research seeks to develop quantitative markers of sensory and motor function, including pain, using machine-learning and advanced brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. Weber aims to use these techniques to better understand the neuropathology of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions and discover more effective treatments and preventative strategies.

Whitney Weber
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioWhitney is a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Dr. Joelle Rosser at Stanford University investigating the impacts of climate change on arbovirus infection acquisition in a mother-child human cohort in Indonesia. She recently completed her PhD in 2024 focused in viral immunology in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Streblow at Oregon Health and Science University. She has 4+ years of experience focused in antibody-mediated immunity to emerging pathogenic alphaviruses. Her dissertation research focused on characterizing cross-reactive immunity in the context of alphavirus infection and vaccination in an effort to develop cross-protective alphavirus vaccines. Her post-bacc work included 2+ years of research experience in HIV immunology studying the mechanism of HIV cure and evaluating therapeutics in NHP. Her long-term research and career interests are rooted in studying the mechanisms of viral emergence, viral surveillance and seroprevalence in various hosts, identifying cross-reactive immune responses, and developing multivalent vaccine approaches for emerging viruses.
