Kevin Rose
Postdoctoral Scholar, Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in studying organelle dysfunction and host cell responses at the highest resolution possible in natively preserved tissues. To do this, I couple correlative light and cryo-Electron Tomography (cryo-ET) and perform ultrastructural analysis of healthy and diseased organelles. This technique hopes to uncover new molecular details of pathophysiology so that we can improve our understanding of diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration to improve the rationale therapeutic design.

My PhD thesis is titled “Domain Adaptation for Medical Language Understanding”, where I developed novel domain adaptation techniques to effectively and efficiently adapt open-domain AI models to the medical domain.
In summary, I have six years of experience working with medical NLP data, which includes clinical trial registry data (2018-2021), medical forum questions (2020-2021), DNA sequence data (2021-2024), biomedical scientific literature (2023 - 2025), clinical data (2021-2023) and EHR clinical notes (2025). My medical AI research experience includes 2.5 years at L3S Research Germany collaborating with Hannover Medical School as well as a 7-month research internship at GE HealthCare Technology and Innovation Center (HTIC) in Bangalore, India. I also presented a tutorial on March 10, 2025 titled "Building Trustworthy AI Models for Medicine" at WSDM 2025 held in Germany.
In my free time, I like hiking, and playing chess or table tennis. -

Alejandra Ruiz
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioDr. Alejandra Ruiz is a physician-scientist working at the intersection of clinical medicine, health services research, and community-engaged intervention design. Based on her clinical experience in high-complexity settings, she works to optimize integrative care models that address both physical and mental health needs.
She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Departments of Emergency Medicine and General Surgery, where she examines structural barriers to care among underserved populations and develops pathways to improve access and care delivery. Her work is grounded in community-based participatory research, through which she designs, implements, and evaluates culturally responsive interventions. Dr. Ruiz is committed to advancing equitable, sustainable models of care that improve access, engagement, and patient outcomes. -
Charles William Ryan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioI was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. I first attended Onondaga Community College, where I developed a fascination with the development of complex biological systems, and then transferred to Syracuse University where I completed my B.S. in biochemistry. I next attended the University of Michigan MD/PhD program, where I used in-vitro models of human neurodevelopment to study to role of epigenetic marks in guiding neurogenesis. While at Michigan, I became interested in the prospect of harnessing in-vitro differentiation to cultivate functional tissues that can be transplanted to replace what is lost in degenerative conditions. Ophthalmology, with its microsurgical access to functionally critical cell layers, is well-positioned to capitalize on this emerging field of science to treat degenerative conditions. I am humbled and incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to pursue this aim as a SOAR resident at Stanford.

Neetu Saini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy research interests focus on translational human T-cell immunology, with an emphasis on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their therapeutic potential in restoring immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis. I am particularly interested in engineering FOXP3-programmed CD4⁺ T cells as a stable and functional alternative to conventional Tregs, especially in inflammatory settings where endogenous Tregs may be unstable or dysfunctional. My work integrates gene-editing approaches, immunophenotyping, and human organoid systems to study how these engineered cells interact with epithelial and stem cell compartments, with a focus on mechanisms of tissue repair and immune–epithelial crosstalk in barrier tissues such as the intestine. Moving forward, I aim to advance next-generation cell therapies by combining insights from T-cell biology, tissue biology, and disease modeling to develop durable and clinically relevant strategies for treating immune-mediated and epithelial barrier disorders.
