Andre Thien Vu
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering / Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Sciences, expected graduation Winter 2029
BioMy name is Andre Vu, and I am currently an MS3 at Stanford School of Medicine. Growing up in Little Saigon as a child of Vietnamese refugees, I have always felt deeply connected to my cultural heritage and community. This background has fueled my passion for addressing health disparities, particularly in underserved populations.
My interests lie in improving health disparities and fostering innovation within the healthcare sector. I believe that finding creative solutions and equitable resource distribution are crucial for improving health outcomes in marginalized communities. Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I have a deep love for cooking Vietnamese cuisine. It is a way for me to stay connected to my roots and share my culture with others. I also enjoy expressing my creativity through painting and sculpting, which provide a wonderful balance to my studies and allow me to unwind.
I am committed to using my medical education to meaningfully impact healthcare accessibility and quality, and I am excited to be part of a future where every individual has the opportunity to achieve optimal health. -
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.

Christine Yiwen Yeh
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2027
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioChristine Yeh is an aspiring physician-scientist with academic training and industry experience in translational bioinformatics and data science. Christine is currently a sixth year MD/PhD candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Stanford. She is interested in advancing cancer care through the integration of clinical oncology, computational cancer biology, and translational research, with the goal of developing more precise and effective therapies. In June 2025, she completed her PhD in Biomedical Data Science. In her doctoral work she developed a novel unsupervised machine learning pipeline grounded in principles of algorithmic fairness and applied it to single-cell spatial transcriptomics and CRISPR-based functional genomics to identify mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic vulnerabilities in tubo-ovarian cancer. Prior to MD/PhD training, Christine was a computational structural biologist and drug discovery scientist at D. E. Shaw Research in New York City. There, she built machine learning algorithms for investigating protein structural dynamics and worked on several early drug discovery programs for diabetes and immuno-oncology indications. Christine’s drug target panel included non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases encoded by PTPN1 and PTPN11. Her work led to peer-reviewed publications describing lead compounds and a novel small molecule therapeutic that advanced to and completed early phase clinical trials.
