He has contributed to projects at Stanford University, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focusing on topics such as predictive modeling for vaccine responses, the role of viruses in cancer development, and the use of Machine Learning and Large Language Models to diagnose Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu).
At HUCM, Yusuf serves as President of the Health Innovation and Technology (HIT) interest group and Vice President of Research and Technology for his class. In these roles, he is working to build a strong community centered on innovation and collaboration. -
Euan A. Ashley
Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

Danielle Francoise Atibalentja, MD, PhD
Instructor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDanielle F Atibalentja received her PhD in Immunology at Washington University in St Louis and her MD at UCSF School of medicine. She trained in Internal medicine at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St Louis and recently completed Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Stanford. Her primary clinical interest is in treating patients with B-cell lymphomas. Her long-term research goals are to better understand B-cell responses in the setting of malignancy to develop immune-based therapies for cancer treatment. She currently studies how the MYC oncogene shapes B-cell and antibody responses during T-cell lymphomagenesis.
