Alejandro Matia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioAlejandro Matía conducted his PhD research at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), employing multi-omic technologies such as CRISPR genetic screens to detect new host factors in Poxvirus infections. His interest in Bioinformatics led to the creation of MaGplotR, a tool designed for the analysis of multiple genetic screens. Alejandro also has experience in long-read sequencing, and he has sequenced different viral genomes such as Vaccinia virus, Monkeypox virus and SARS-CoV-2. Alejandro was a visiting scientist at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub (San Francisco) where he conducted single cell transcriptomics experiments with Poxvirus. Currently, Alejandro leverages his omics expertise to unravel the intricate mechanisms of opioid receptor physiology.

Devin Malloy McCauley
Postdoctoral Scholar, Adolescent Medicine
BioDevin McCauley earned his PhD in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University in 2021, where his research applied intensive longitudinal methods and time-varying effect modeling to investigate family, school, and peer influences on adolescent mental health and well-being. A second focus of his research applies a developmental framework in study of adolescent e-cigarette use. He is particularly interested in identifying sociodemographic (e.g., race/ethnicity, sexual identity) disparities in risk factors for e-cigarette use. His long-term goal is to inform, develop, and evaluate family and school-based prevention programs which support healthy adolescent development and address health disparities related to e-cigarette use.

Hector Rodrigo Mendez
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Hector Rodrigo Mendez is a Medical Geneticist from Argentina. Rodrigo completed a residency program in Medical Genetics at Centro Nacional de Genetica Medica – ANLIS (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and a Master’s program in Medical Molecular Biology at Buenos Aires University.
Rodrigo continued his scientific career at a German Genomic Start-up, working as a human geneticist and providing his experience in rare disorders, genomic data (WGS/WES/gene panels) analysis, variant interpretation, and its integration with a deep focus on genotype-phenotype correlation.
Rodrigo’s areas of expertise are rare disorders, NGS technology, Whole Genome Sequencing analysis, and ACMG interpretation guidelines, and his research aims are:
- Collection and analysis of clinical data through deep-learning phenotyping approaches.
- Multi-omic data integration to elucidate complex and rare genetic disorders.
- International collaborations to break down barriers to research participation amongst those who have been under-represented.
At Stanford University, under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Wheeler, he is conducting his postdoctoral research studies to achieve his scientific goals. -
Karthik Menon
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiology
BioKarthik Menon is a postdoctoral scholar in the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Computation Laboratory at Stanford University, advised by Alison Marsden. His current research involves the development of computational methods for accurate patient-specific cardiovascular blood flow simulations and uncertainty quantification. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 2021, where his doctoral work focused on the flow physics of fluid-structure interactions. His broad research interests include fluid mechanics, computational modeling and data-driven methods.
