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.

Mattias Rydberg
Postdoctoral Scholar, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
BioMattias Rydberg, MD, PhD, is a hand surgeon and postdoctoral scholar in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. His research focuses on epidemiology, machine learning, and digital health technologies in hand surgery and musculoskeletal disease. Dr. Rydberg completed his medical and doctoral training at Lund University in Sweden, where his PhD work focused on diabetic hand disorders and large-scale register-based research.
At Stanford, he works in the laboratory of Dr. Paige Fox, studying peripheral nerve disorders, fibroproliferative diseases, and AI-based motion tracking technologies for upper extremity assessment. His current projects include national database studies on diabetes and entrapment neuropathies, frozen shoulder and Dupuytren’s disease, and the development of camera-based hand motion analysis tools using machine learning and computer vision. -

Rabeya Tus Sadia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am currently working on multimodal and multitask foundation models for cancer detection and surgical video analysis. My research focuses on medical image and video segmentation, MRI and ultrasound analysis, foundation models, reinforcement learning, and AI agents. My broader research spans generative modeling, causal machine learning, multimodal learning, large language models, state-space models, spatial and single-cell omics, structured data analysis, and trustworthy artificial intelligence. My goal is to develop clinically meaningful, interpretable, fair, and reliable AI methods for real-world biomedical and healthcare applications.

Triya Saha
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Triya Saha is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, Department of Radiology, specializing in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, therapeutic delivery, and translational biomedical engineering. Dr. Saha earned her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and Bioengineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, where her doctoral research focused on developing clinically relevant bioengineered therapeutic platforms for chronic fatty liver disease. Her research involved the development of 3D bioprinted hepatic patches and sprayable bioadhesive hydrogels for targeted delivery of stem cell-derived exosomes, with a focus on tissue regeneration, immunomodulation, fibrosis reversal, and gut-liver crosstalk. Her expertise includes biomaterial design, 3D bioprinting, hydrogel engineering, exosome-based therapeutics, in vitro and in vivo disease models, and translational regenerative medicine.

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.

Giovanni Marco Saladino
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. I graduated in Engineering Physics with a BSc at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and an MSc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). In 2024, I obtained my PhD in Biological and Biomedical Physics from the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
My research interests lie at the intersection of molecular imaging, nanomedicine, and nanomaterials. Specifically, I focus on developing novel contrast agents and exploring advanced imaging techniques. During my PhD studies, I designed hybrid multimodal contrast agents for complementary imaging using X-ray fluorescence computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical fluorescence imaging. I am currently involved in investigating theranostic applications of nanomaterials, which hold great promise for personalized medicine and targeted therapies.
