Richard Perez, MD
Clinical Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain MedicineBioDr. Richard Perez is a board-certified, fellowship-trained pain management specialist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine, Division of Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Perez cares for people living with complex chronic pain, nerve-related pain, and musculoskeletal pain conditions. He specializes in nonsurgical therapies, such as nerve blocks, to relieve pain. He takes a highly personalized and compassionate approach to pain medicine, informed by a deep understanding of the biology of pain.
As an active physician-researcher, Dr. Perez studies how changes in cells contribute to chronic pain and immune-related disease. He uses advanced genetic technologies to analyze patterns across individual immune and nervous system cells. His work aims to understand what causes chronic pain, supporting the development of more targeted and effective therapies.
Dr. Perez has published his findings in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Science Translational Medicine, Nature Communications, and British Journal of Anaesthesia. He has also presented to peers at meetings of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and International Anesthesia Research Society.
Dr. Perez is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the International Anesthesia Research Society. -
Javier Perez-Garcia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioJavier Perez-Garcia is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. His research has been focused on the integration of multi-omic data (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome) to identify potential biomarkers of treatment response for complex diseases like asthma. His research background includes experience both in molecular biology techniques (e.g., DNA extraction and sequencing libraries preparation) and bioinformatic analyses (e.g., processing of raw omic data, association studies at genomic scale, or multi-omic integration through machine learning and quantitative trait loci analyses). He holds a Ph.D. in Health Sciences and a B.Sc. in Pharmacy from the University of La Laguna (Spain).

Amalia Perna
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Perna received her education at the University of Urbino (BSc in Biological Science) and at the University of Trieste (MSc in Functional Genomics).
She obtained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience/Medical Sciences in 2021, from the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in collaboration with the Swiss Integrative Center for Human Health (SICHH). During her doctoral studies, she investigated the molecular players involved in the neurodegenerative process, with special attention to Notch signaling modulation in the neuronal demise after kainic acid (KA)-induced excitotoxicity
With funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Dr. Perna joined Prof. Thomas Montine's lab at Stanford University and extended her doctoral research work to single-cell technologies such as single-nucleus RNA-seq. In February 2022 she was appointed as a postdoctoral fellow in Montine Lab.
Dr. Perna’s research aims to elucidate the modulation of signaling pathways in the different cell types of the brain after the perturbation of its homeostasis. She is also interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal regeneration/recovery after damage and in neurodegenerative diseases. -
Tanmoy Sarkar Pias
Postdoctoral Scholar, Urology
BioI am currently working on multimodal, multi-task foundation models to detect cancer and improve surgery. I am exploring image segmentation models, foundation models, and reinforcement learning with agents. My previous work spans a range of directions, including knowledge-guided machine learning models, systematic evaluation of high-risk models, mitigation of deficiencies and biases, automatic generation of gradient-based test cases, decision boundary estimation and analysis of deep learning models, and developing approaches to make machine learning models more fair and reliable.

Edward Pimentel
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioEdward Pimentel is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Prof. Tom Soh. After receiving his BS in Chemistry at BYU and pursuing the total synthesis of a natural product with anticancer activity in the lab of Dr. Merritt Andrus, Edward was the first graduate student in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Martell, where his PhD work centered on using DNA nanostructures to accelerate catalytic reactions and building an ultrahigh-throughput DNA-encoded reaction screening platform. Now as a postdoctoral scholar, his research focuses on applying functional nucleic acids to solve problems in diagnostic and sensing for human health. In addition to his research, Edward is a passionate mentor and has been involved in mentoring programs at every stage of his career. He is now a coordinator for the SURPAS Someone Like Me Peer Mentoring program.
