Siavash Moghadami
Ph.D. Student in Chemical and Systems Biology, admitted Summer 2022
BioSiavash Moghadami is a Ph.D. student in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, co-mentored by Professors Carolyn Bertozzi and Longzhi Tan. His work sits at the intersection of chemical biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and aging, with a long-term vision of building programmable brain–body physiology for healthy longevity so that fewer families have to watch their loved ones age in frailty.
Before Stanford, Siavash earned his B.Sc./M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology from the University of California, San Diego, graduating summa cum laude with highest departmental distinction and honors.
A proud immigrant pursuing the American dream, Siavash feels a profound sense of love and gratitude for the United States, which gave him a new home and a path into higher education and scientific discovery. His research on brain–body physiology and healthy longevity is, in many ways, his way of giving back—honoring the opportunities he found in America and working to protect the health and independence of his own and others’ loved ones. -

Priya Nair
Research Asst - Graduate, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioI received my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Design from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. During my time at Georgia Tech, I worked as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Ajit Yoganathan's Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Lab. My project was focused on studying the contribution of foreign materials to thrombosis in transcatheter aortic valves using an in vitro flow loop. Beyond my research interests, I was also actively involved in the Society of Women Engineers, promoting outreach activities and creating mentorship opportunities for women in STEM.

Hoang Minh Hieu Nguyen
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Molecular Basis of Medicine / Surgery, expected graduation Spring 2030
BioHoang Minh Hieu Nguyen, from Di Linh, Vietnam, is pursuing an MD at Stanford School of Medicine. They earned a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Middlebury College and a master of philosophy in clinical neurosciences from the University of Cambridge. Hieu aspires to combine science, the arts, and entrepreneurship to improve healthcare quality and access for global populations burdened by chronic disease. Hieu has contributed to advancing our understanding of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases through research at Middlebury College, Rockefeller University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University of Cambridge, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. As a Social Entrepreneurship Fellow at Middlebury, they collaborated with the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the World Telehealth Initiative to establish Kenya’s first telemedicine system. This program provides lifesaving services, including dialysis, to Longisa, where such services were once unreachable.
