Dayoon Kwon
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioI am an environmental epidemiologist leveraging multi-omics to study how environmental exposures influence human health across the life course. At Stanford, I develop epigenetic biomarkers and aging clocks to capture the impact of early-life exposures. During my PhD at UCLA, I investigated air pollution and Parkinson’s disease, focusing on gene–environment interactions and metabolomics. Previously at Columbia, I quantified biological aging using blood-based biomarkers.

Kevin Lesperance
Postdoctoral Scholar, Urology
BioDr. Kevin L’Esperance is a cancer epidemiologist who focuses on the interplay between adiposity, lifestyle, and social drivers of health in kidney and ovarian cancer risk, prevention, and survivorship. His work involves patients, clinicians, and population-level perspectives to improve health literacy, integrate lived experiences, and enhance cancer care and management. In parallel, Dr. L’Esperance is actively engaged in science communication, working to raise awareness about cancer and shift the narrative from fatalism to empowerment and actionable change.

Magdalena Ladrón de Guevara
Postdoctoral Scholar, Reproductive Biology
BioMagdalena Ladrón de Guevara is a postdoctoral scholar in reproductive biology whose research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving early human embryo implantation and trophoblast behavior. Her work integrates single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, live imaging, CRISPR-based functional genomics, and genome editing to explore embryo–maternal interactions within the implantation niche.
Originally trained as a veterinarian in Argentina, Magdalena earned a master’s in Animal Genetics and Reproductive Biotechnology in Spain and completed her Ph.D. in Reproductive and Developmental Biology at the Università degli Studi di Milano as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie EUROVA network. Her experience spans both veterinary and human assisted reproduction, with deep expertise in embryo culture, oocyte maturation, gene regulation, genome editing, and the generation of genetically engineered mouse models. She brings a translational perspective to developmental biology and fertility research.
