Kristina Zdantsevich
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioKristina Zdantsevich, MD, is a physician-scientist and postdoctoral fellow in Joseph Wu's laboratory at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, where she uses induced pluripotent stem cells to model cardiovascular disease.
Kristina earned her MD from Belarusian State Medical University, graduating top of her class. She completed residency in Cardiovascular Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Republican Scientific and Practical Center "Cardiology" in Minsk, the country's leading cardiac referral center. Her clinical work covered high-acuity cardiovascular care, from cardiogenic shock and acute coronary syndromes to perioperative management of coronary bypass, valve, and aortic surgery. In parallel, she practiced general anesthesia and critical care at Minsk Central District Clinical Hospital, including dedicated COVID-19 intensive care from March 2020 through May 2022. For her leadership during the pandemic, she received an award from the Belarusian Minister of Health, given to roughly 1 in 500 physicians nationwide.
She serves as Education Lead for iWISH Talks (Inspiring Women in Science and Healthcare), a global community of more than 500 early-career scientists, and the team received the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Recognition Award. Outside the lab, she bakes sourdough, swims, practices Pilates, visits museums, and follows AI biology agents. -

An Ni Zhang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford Cancer Institute
BioAnni obtained her Ph.D. in Dr. James Johnson and Dr. Janel Kopp's labs at the University of British Columbia. Her Ph.D. work showed that hyperinsulinemia contributes to pancreatic cancer development. Her work also showed that insulin directly acted via the insulin receptors in pancreatic acinar cells to increase digestive enzyme production, thereby generating an inflammatory condition that accelerates neoplastic transformation. She is now working at Diehn lab to investigate the mechanisms of KEAP1 mutation-induced immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer.
