Florian Hoffmann, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology
BioFlorian is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Ami Bhatt's laboratory at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry working in Dr. Sam Sternberg's group at Columbia University where he studied atypical CRISPR systems in prokaryotes, in search of molecular tools for programmable gene editing and gene regulation. His studies elucidate the mechanisms of a novel RNA-guided transposition system, the evolutionary ancestors of the gene editing enzymes Cas9 and Cas12, and an unprecedented Cas12f enzyme that creates custom de novo transcription start sites without requiring promoter elements. Florian is fascinated by the vast untapped resources of novel gene functions encoded in bacteria and their viruses (bacteriophages). He is an inventor on multiple patents related to his doctoral work. During his postdoctoral work at Stanford, he aims to discover novel paradigms of bacteria-virus interactions and how these shape the human gut microbiome, and human health. To investigate these systems, he harnesses interdisciplinary approaches, combining computational gene discovery with experimental techniques in Molecular Biology, Genetics and Biochemistry.

Robert Holland
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on developing self-supervised methods for aiding image-based clinical decision making and accelerating the discovery of new, prognostic biomarkers for disease. I am now advancing these applications by developing foundation models that integrate longitudinal, multimodal medical data from population-scale cohorts.

Elizabeth Holman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI currently explore the application of vibrational spectroscopic technologies for biomedical imaging and precision medicine for clinical use. My research interests are directly related to chemical imaging technology development, which include but are not limited to spectral and image processing and analysis, machine learning applications, autonomous adaptive data acquisition, and vibrational spectroscopic applications to the biomedical sciences.

Skylar Holmes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Holmes’ research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and creating biomechanically-driven, evidence-based interventions to improve mobility. I aim to develop objective methods to characterize pain in KOA, identifying pain profiles linked to worsening symptoms and functional decline. Utilizing functional MRI, mechanical pain sensitivity tests, and imaging of muscles and the knee joint, Dr. Holmes’ work seeks to clarify disease progression and identify biomarkers to enhance clinical care and reduce the burden of KOA. Dr. Holmes earned her PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her MS and BS in Kinesiology from California State University Fullerton.
