Dina Hany
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Data Sciences
BioI am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Sylvia Plevritis, Department of Biomedical Data Sciences. My current work involves establishing drug testing platforms to evaluate tumor drug responses with respect to the tumor microenvironment and the its spatial organization. I hold a Ph.D. in Life Sciences (Pharmaceutical Sciences) from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, where I conducted research in Prof. Didier Picard's laboratory from 2017 to 2022. Prior to that, I earned a Master’s degree in Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics from Alexandria University, Egypt, and a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy with honors from Pharos University. My professional experience includes postdoctoral research in molecular pharmacology at UNIGE and a lecturer position in Pharmacotherapeutics and Cancer Biology at Pharos University. I have extensive teaching experience, supervising undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and have successfully guided master's thesis projects. My research has focused on endocrine resistance in breast cancer, utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 screens and exploring drug combinations, resulting in several relevant publications. I have presented my work at numerous conferences and received several awards, including the Ernst et Lucie Schmidheiny Fondation grant and the Ph.D. Booster prize from the faculty of medicine, Geneva, Switzerland. I am an active member of the Life Sciences Switzerland (LS2) and the European Association of Cancer Research (EACR).

Anthony Harris
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioAnthony Harris is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine, where he investigates the organization and function of the genome during cellular development. His research focuses on uncovering fundamental principles of chromosome structure, cellular differentiation, and genome stability. By combining experimental molecular biology, computational modeling, and third generation sequencing technologies, Dr. Harris aims to elucidate the mechanisms that shape chromatin architecture and direct genome maintenance. His interdisciplinary approach integrates cutting-edge quantitative analysis with traditional molecular techniques to advance understanding of the relationship between cellular organization and disease.
Dr. Harris has developed computational tools for genomic data analysis and applies data-driven strategies to study chromatin structure and gene regulation. His work has been published in leading journals, including EMBO Journal, Genetics, and Developmental Cell, with projects spanning meiosis regulation, transcriptional control, and genome integrity. These experiences reflect his commitment to understanding how chromatin organization and gene expression guide cell fate and function.
Dr. Harris earned his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Minnesota and his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. He brings expertise in data analysis, computational biology, scientific writing, and collaborative research. His broad training spans biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, genetics, and computational genomics. -
