Brian Soetikno
Affiliate, Ophthalmology Clinic and Education
BioBrian Soetikno grew up in Union City, CA. He received his BS in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where he studied biomedical optics under the mentorship of Lihong Wang, PhD. In the summer of 2013, he entered the Medical Scientist (MD/PhD) Training Program at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. He completed a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2018 under the combined mentorship of Amani Fawzi, MD and Hao Zhang, PhD, which focused on retinal imaging. Specifically, his dissertation described advances in functional optical coherence tomography (OCT), including retinal oximetry with visible-light OCT and OCT angiography. He graduated with his MD in 2020 and joined the Stanford Ophthalmology Advance Research (SOAR) residency. Brian aspires to ultimately pursue a career in academic ophthalmology, where he hopes to combine his passion for engineering, innovation, and ocular surgery.

Laurel Stell
Affiliate, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioExtensive experience in statistical modelling, inference, and multiple hypothesis testing for a wide variety of data types, including genetic and clinical. Before I started working as a biostatistician at Stanford in 2013, I was an applied mathematician conducting research in a wide variety of fields, from hunting submarines to designing the "highway system" for air traffic.

Shih-Po Su
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Shih-Po Su is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taiwan, in 2024. His doctoral research focused on the development of advanced optical imaging systems, including a three-dimensional near-infrared fluorescence and photoacoustic vascular imaging platform for preclinical applications.
Dr. Su has over a decade of experience in biomedical imaging, integrating optical system design, image analysis, and in vivo disease modeling. His research interests center on the interface of optical engineering and translational medicine, particularly in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) imaging and neuroprotective strategies for glaucoma. At Stanford, he is extending his expertise to short-wave infrared (SWIR/NIR-II) imaging and in vivo retinal functional imaging to establish sensitive biomarkers for neurodegeneration.
His recent work has advanced optical imaging and NIR-II contrast agents, including the co-development of polymer-dot probes for three-dimensional tumor and bone imaging (Chemical Science, 2022; Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2021) and an ultrabright polymer-dot platform for rotational stereo imaging (Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2024). He also designed integrated small-animal imaging systems combining bioluminescence tomography and ultrasound, as well as rotational stereo NIR-II fluorescence imaging (Optics Express, 2024; Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2023; Biosensors, 2022).
Dr. Su has received multiple international recognitions, including the Taiwan Science and Technology Hub@Stanford Postdoctoral Fellowship (2024), First Prize in the NYCU Annual Thesis Competition (2023), the Future Tech Award (MOST, 2022), and the MOST Pilot Scholarship Program (2019). His long-term goal is to develop regenerative medicine–based imaging and therapeutic platforms to address unmet clinical needs in neurodegenerative diseases and vision restoration.
