Florian Bach
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioI'm a molecular infection biologist by training, but shifted my focus from pathogens to hosts for my graduate research. During my PhD with Phil Spence in Edinburgh I studied both falciparum and vivax malaria using controlled human (re)infection models, collaborating closely with the groups of Simon Draper and Angela Minassian in Oxford. As a hybrid bioinformatician and experimentalist, I love systems immunology for answering complex questions about human health. For my postdoc, I study in how the human immune response to malaria evolves in infants as they become reinfected and age. I'm also interested in how such early-life immunological events, malaria and beyond, may affect vaccine responses and immune development later in life. I address this question by making use of a longitudinal study cohort of infants receiving monthly chemoprevention in Eastern Uganda, together with our collaborators at UC San Francisco and IDRC Uganda. I am a Global Health Postdoctoral Affiliate with the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health.

Cameron Scott Bader
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bone Marrow Transplantation
BioMy research is focused on using preclinical models to develop novel therapies which improve outcomes for patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Currently, my work aims to establish strategies to reduce the risk of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without exacerbating graft-versus-host disease or interfering with donor stem cell engraftment.

Xiangqi Bai
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oncology
BioMy research is focused on computational and systems biology. My primary research interest lies in developing new computational algorithms and statistical methods for the analysis of complex data in biological systems, especially related to the large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing data. The specific topics I have examined include:
1. Integration of single-cell multi-omics datasets for tumor
2. Statistical test of cell developmental trajectories
3. Visualization and reconstruction of single-cell RNA sequencing data
4. Computational analysis of the bifurcating event revealed by dynamical network biomarker methods -

Stephanie Balters
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences
BioDr. Stephanie Balters is a neuroscientist, educator, and innovator dedicated to advancing team flourishing and excellence. She directs the Empowerment Neuroscience Lab in Stanford Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, serves as Director of Research at Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), and is Scientific Lead of the Stanford Belonging Project. Her research employs portable dual-brain neuroimaging (fNIRS hyperscanning) and advanced computational modeling to elucidate the neural and inter-brain signatures of high-impact, purpose-aligned teams. She also develops and tests targeted, evidence-based interventions that measurably strengthen connection, collaboration, and performance. Partnering across Stanford Medicine, the Graduate School of Business, and Stanford Athletics, Dr. Balters translates biomarkers of human connection into simple, repeatable practices that leaders can train and track over time—turning the neuroscience of connection into a practical engine for culture change. She also leads team-innovation workshops at Stanford, creating high-trust spaces that foster authenticity, alignment, and bold, measurable execution. Beyond academia, she serves as a Human Factors Specialist at NATO, converting neuroscience insights into actionable strategies for resilient, high-performing teams.

Alison Barrett
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunity Transplant Infection
BioI'm an all-in-one biochemist, cell-culturist, and human-health enthusiast whose interests include therapeutics development, and tools for medical diagnostics.
I strive to maintain a healthy balance of breadth and depth in my areas of expertise, and have a strong affinity to interdisciplinary approaches. My background includes software development within the protein structure prediction module of the Rosetta software suite, design and initial development of cancer therapeutics, and basic research into understanding the mechanistic details of cell-cycle gene regulation.
My current research within the Tobias Lanz Lab aims to understand the role of certain targets of autoimmunity in Multiple Sclerosis and use this understanding to develop therapies and diagnostic aides. -
Shania Danielle Bayley
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Shania Bayley is a Postdoctoral Scholar on the Autism Spectrum Disorders track at Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She earned her Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland, where her training was specialized in child and adolescent psychology with a strong emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders, trauma-informed care, and early relational health.
She completed her predoctoral internship at WestCoast Children’s Clinic in Oakland, California. Her clinical interests include diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorder, parent-child relational dynamics, and attachment-based interventions in marginalized communities. She has received training in psychodiagnostic testing and has experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and families across school, community, and hospital settings. -

Samuel Beuret
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2016, 2019, and 2024, respectively. After working as an Ultrasound Engineer at E-Scopics, Aix-en-Provence, France, I joined the Ultrasound Imaging and Instrumentation Lab of the Department of Radiology as a Postdoctoral Scholar in 2025. My research interests include signal processing, inverse problems, and probabilistic modeling applied to pulse-echo ultrasound imaging. My current work focuses on improving pulse-echo speed-of-sound imaging and distributed aberration correction.
