Matthew Alexander Abikenari
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Molecular Basis of Medicine / Immunology, expected graduation Spring 2028
BioMatthew received his undergraduate degree Summa Cum Laude from UCLA in march 2020. After receiving the highest departmental honor, he remained at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and conducted full-time clinical and basic sciences research into the molecular foundations of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions. Matthew went onto pursue a graduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford as The Queen's College Herbruck Scholar, awarded to only one American student per year. His graduate thesis focused on the paraneoplastic autoimmune manifestations across neurodegenerative diseases as well as genotypic and phenotypic features of Meningiomas. Matthew is currently pursuing clinical and basic science research opportunities in Neurosurgical oncology domain as a current medical student at Stanford University.

Melanie Ambler
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities, expected graduation Spring 2026
BioMelanie Ambler is an aspiring physician-artist-scientist, interested in the integration of the arts into the medical field. She is a classically-trained cellist and founded two live virtual concert series for patients and care providers in both the United States and France. In 2019, she received a Fulbright Fellowship for study and research in the city of Caen, France. She pursued a master's in Neuroscience at the Université de Caen-Normandie, and performed a research study with the Neuroimaging Lab of Human Memory regarding the ability of patients with clinical amnesia to recognize new melodies or paintings. She is currently a musician on call for the nonprofit Project: Music Heals Us and plays weekly one-on-one virtual concerts for critically ill patients.
Melanie hopes to continuing bridging the arts and medicine during her time at Stanford Medicine by researching promising interventions and then putting them into practice as a care provider.
