Rose Heald
Masters Student in Translational Research and Applied Medicine, admitted Autumn 2025
BioAs a Master’s student in Translational Research and Applied Medicine at Stanford Medicine, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world clinical impact. My career interests lie at the intersection of science and business, with a focus on advancing the development and implementation of novel therapeutics—particularly in the areas of genetics, rare disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
I bring experience in clinical research, including work on the BabySeq Project, a pioneering study of genomic newborn screening (gNBS). This experience sparked my ongoing interest in how genomic technologies can be implemented to identify actionable health risks early in life. I continue to contribute to this field through my involvement with the International Consortium on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS), a global initiative advancing gNBS research. -

Andrew Napier
Masters Student in Clinical Informatics Management, admitted Summer 2025
BioAndrew Napier, MD, FAAEM, is a board-certified emergency physician, Army veteran, and founder working at the boundary of bedside care, medical devices, and clinical AI. He built and FDA-cleared a single-use video laryngoscope with on-blade lens clearing, co-founded an ambient documentation platform used across more than 100 care sites, and now works on real-time procedural guidance for intubation and bronchoscopy.
At Stanford MCiM, his interests include human-in-the-loop guidance for high-risk procedures, ambient clinical assistants that reduce cognitive load, and pragmatic trials that measure speed, accuracy, first-pass success, and downstream outcomes. His focus is whether clinical AI changes care at the bedside when the patient is sick and the clinician has seconds to act.
Previously, he served as Vice Chair and Assistant Medical Director of a 70,000-visit emergency department. He holds issued and pending patents, published on lens-clearing laryngoscopy in AJEM, and served as a combat medic in Afghanistan before practicing emergency medicine at high-acuity trauma centers. -
Nojus Saad
Masters Student in Clinical Informatics Management, admitted Summer 2026
BioNojus Saad, MD, is a physician-entrepreneur and digital health diplomat dedicated to engineering health justice through scalable digital systems. As a Technical Advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO), he co-develops global adolescent health indicators adopted by the World Bank, UNFPA, and UN H6+ Partners. His leadership in rural and LMIC communities across Iraq, India, and France is anchored by his role as Founder of the Youth For Women Foundation, where he has spearheaded 45 youth-led initiatives directly impacting the lives of 18,500 women and young people.
Dr. Saad’s diplomatic expertise spans health and security, serving as UN Youth Ambassador for Disarmament and Biosecurity (UNODA) and as the MENA Youth Lead for the Swiss-based DTH-Lab. Through these mandates, he has mobilized coalitions across 12 MENA countries to integrate digital innovation into national health agendas. This high-level advocacy is validated by his track record as a systems architect; in 2021, he orchestrated a digital health literacy and COVID-19 misinformation initiative for rural and displaced populations. By building the digital capacity of NGO leaders and youth, he empowered grassroots networks to execute 15 targeted awareness campaigns, reaching 10,000 women and youth to strengthen their access to reliable health services.
Currently, Dr. Saad is scaling this success into a coordinated, all-in-one digital platform that bridges Iraq’s public and private healthcare sectors. By implementing interoperable EHRs and data-driven matching, his startup digitizes the entire referral pathway to connect Iraqi patients with the most cost-effective, high-quality care providers both domestically and abroad in the U.S. and France. This venture transforms fragmented systems into a seamless, unified framework for optimized clinical access and specialist care.
A Knight-Hennessy Scholar and advisor to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, Dr. Saad holds an MD with executive diplomatic training from the Karolinska Institute and Stockholm School of Economics. At Stanford MCiM, he is refining the technical and managerial frameworks necessary to lead the next generation of inclusive, tech-driven health systems in LMICs. -
Ashira Weinreich
Masters Student in Community Health and Prevention Research, admitted Autumn 2025
BioAshira is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow (NSF-GRFP), completing her MS in Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford University (2025 - June 2026), and a Community Engaged Scholar at Stanford's Haas Center for Public Service. Her research examines how diverse bio-cultural systems inform community health in times of sociocultural and ecological change. By linking cyclical patterns in health practices with seasonality, nutrient intake, and medicinal plant use, Ashira explores how village communities adapt to climatic and environmental variability. As a Fulbright Research Fellow in Nepal (2024-2025), Ashira interviewed community members, organized and facilitated workshops in 12 villages ranging in elevation from 6,500ft to 13,000ft, engaging over 200 villagers. She believes that anticipatory capacity is important in developing resilience in Nepal’s high-altitude Himalayan regions. Ashira is committed to a collaborative, community-centered approach to research, emphasizing the importance of reciprocity and giving back to the community.
