Claudia Del Toro Runzer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Medical Genetics
BioClaudia Del Toro Runzer is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University specializing in gene therapy and regenerative medicine. Her current research focuses on developing gene editing strategies for inherited disorders, including GNE myopathy and Gaucher disease. She works on advancing precision gene engineering approaches in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and other clinically relevant cell types, with the goal of enabling safe and durable therapeutic correction.
Dr. Del Toro Runzer earned her PhD in Tissue Engineering from the MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine at Maastricht University. Her doctoral research focused on chemically modified mRNA therapeutics for bone regeneration, where she investigated molecular design, intracellular trafficking, and biomaterial-assisted delivery systems to enhance protein expression and osteogenic outcomes. Her work resulted in multiple first-author publications in leading journals, including Advanced Functional Materials, Bone Research, Materials Today, and Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids.
Prior to her PhD, she completed an M.Sc. in Regenerative Biology and Medicine at Technische Universität Dresden and a B.Sc. in Biotechnology Engineering at Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey. Her international training spans Germany, the Netherlands, Mexico, and the United States, with research experience in organoid systems, tissue regeneration, biomaterials engineering, and microphysiological platforms. -

Elizabeth Egan
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.
