Joshua Gillard
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Josh Gillard is a Canadian biomedical data scientist with experience in bioinformatics, machine learning, and immunology. After completing a BSc and a MSc in Experimental Medicine at McGill university, he relocated to the Netherlands for his PhD in bioinformatics at Radboud University in Nijmegen. During his PhD, he gained experience analyzing and interpreting complex immunological data (bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, high-dimensional cytometry, high-throughput proteomics) derived from human observational or intervention studies (vaccination and experimental human infection). This work revealed molecular and cellular correlates of clinically important endpoints such as disease severity, symptom progression, and antibody responses. In 2022, Josh relocated to Stanford to join the Gaudilliere lab to develop and apply multi-omic data integration and machine learning techniques, establishing that early gestational immune dysregulation can predict preterm birth. Since 2024, in the Ashley lab, Josh is developing deep learning models to investigate aberrant splicing in cardiovascular disease.

Bruna Gomes
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Biomedical Data Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Gomes Lab is interested in AI agents and causal discovery methods that trace how genetic variation acts through proteins and other molecular traits to cause heart disease, and it advances promising candidate targets to experimental validation. In parallel, with support from an American Heart Association Career Development Award, the lab studies the causal protein drivers of cardiac fibrosis and develops methods to characterize myocardial tissue from routine cine MRI.

Shreya Gupta
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a biomedical researcher focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) behavior in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. My work investigates how signaling pathways, including Notch3 and Thrombospondin-1, regulate SMC phenotypic switching, fibrous cap stability, and plaque vulnerability in atherosclerosis, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Edward Guzman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioEdward Guzman is a postdoctoral fellow in cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), focusing on RNA treatments for vascular diseases. His research has advanced the development of novel cardiovascular therapies and deepened our understanding of endothelial cell biology under diseased conditions.

Francois Haddad
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Francois Haddad, MD is a Clinical Professor of Medicine that specializes in the field of cardio-vascular imaging, pulmonary hypertension, advanced heart failure and transplantation. Dr. Haddad has over 18 years of practice in the field of cardiology. He directs Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Biomarker and Phenotypic Core Laboratory dedicated to translational studies in cardiovascular medicine. The laboratory focuses on (1) identifying early biomarkers of heart failure and aging, (2) bioengineering approaches to cardiovascular disease modeling and (3) novel informatic approach for the detection and risk stratification of disease. He is involved is several precision medicine initiatives in health including the Project Baseline, the Integrated Personalized Omics Profiling Initiative, the Athletic screening program at Stanford and the Strong-D cardiac rehabilitation initiative in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
