Katie Cederberg
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Cederberg is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the Mignot Lab, where she devotes her time to conducting research leveraging large datasets and machine learning approaches aimed at better understanding the relationship among genetics, proteomics and the presence and severity of symptoms related to sleep disorders. Her research further focuses on studying the effectiveness of exercise for managing symptoms of sleep disorders, primarily restless legs syndrome (RLS) and co-occurring conditions (e.g., periodic limb movements and insomnia). Her current research explores patients’ experiences with exercise and RLS, as well as the relationship between exercise and proteomic biomarkers of RLS. She received her PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and her dissertation used a series of methodological approaches to comprehensively examine the relationship between physical activity and RLS in adults who have multiple sclerosis. She is using her experience and training to develop a line of research for identifying the mechanism of action for the effect of exercise and informing exercise prescription parameters for managing symptoms of RLS.

Antara Chakravarty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioAntara Chakravarty is a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Dr. Priscilla Yang at Stanford Medicine, where she develops small-molecule-based targeted protein degradation strategies against viral proteins. Her work focuses on understanding how viral proteins interface with host cellular pathways, including mechanisms that influence antiviral signaling responses. She is also interested in virus-induced remodeling of host membrane lipids and studies these processes using the hepatitis C virus replicase complex as a model system.
Antara received her doctoral training in molecular virology in the laboratory of Dr. A. L. N. Rao at the University of California, Riverside, where she discovered key roles for viral capsid dynamics in the pathogenicity and infectivity of multipartite bromoviruses. Her emerging research interests focus on developing chemically controllable tools to investigate host immune signaling pathways.
