BRIGHT ASARE-BEDIAKO
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Asare-Bediako is a Ghanaian-trained Optometrist who started his career as a Teaching/Research Assistant at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. He obtained a doctorate degree in Vision Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, US, where he worked on animal models of diabetic retinopathy and hematopoiesis in Prof. Maria Grant’s lab. Currently, he is a postdoctoral scholar in Prof. Mary Elizabeth Hartnett’s lab studying retinopathy of prematurity. His current interests lie in understanding mechanisms of angiogenesis in retinopathy of prematurity and diabetic retinopathy.

Amirsaman Ashtari
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, jointly supervised by Ash Alizadeh MD/PhD and Mohammad Shahrokh Esfahani PhD. I developed several AI solutions for the Computer Vision and Computer Graphic domains during my PhD studies at KAIST and ETH Zurich. My PhD research outcome was recognized by winning the Young Researcher Award, and I was eager to apply all those AI techniques to biological data for cancer therapy. In the Alizadeh and Esfahani labs, I will develop AI solutions and computational tools to better understand the tumor microenvironment. Outside of my research, I enjoy loving my family, playing the piano, and listening to music.

Muhammad Asim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in investigating the cell type-specific and neural circuit mechanisms underlying emotional disorders. In particular, I strive to explore the neural mechanisms associated with psychedelic drugs, focusing on how these substances improve mood and exhibit antidepressant-like effects.

Gastón A. Ayubi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioGastón A. Ayubi completed his undergraduate studies in physics and electrical engineering, followed by PhD studies in physics at the University of the Republic of Uruguay. As an undergraduate student, in 2008 he started collaborating at the Department of Physics, where he developed a strong interest in phase imaging techniques. In 2022 he joined Stanford University as a postdoc. His role is to develop and test phase contrast imaging methods for both microscopy and retinal imaging.
