Bryce Allen Bagley
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2026
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests are in the development of novel quantitative approaches for tackling medical problems, such as algorithms, machine learning techniques, methods of interpreting complex data, physics-based medical interventions, and mathematical frameworks for improving our understanding of biological disease processes. I am especially interested in problems relevant to neurosurgery.

Henry Bair
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities, expected graduation Spring 2022
MBA, expected graduation 2023BioHenry Bair is an MD/MBA candidate and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University. His primary research interest is in the application of innovative technologies to deliver efficient, affordable, and accessible patient-centered healthcare, both at a systems level and at the point of care. While at Stanford, he has worked on establishing telehealth networks for eye care across rural regions of Taiwan and on developing diagnostic and surgical devices for treating orbital trauma. Through his clinical interest in ophthalmology, he explores vision impairment as a manifestation of chronic diseases and how this affects an individual's quality of life. He has also served as medical school representative to Stanford University's Committee on Research and currently leads courses in healthcare leadership, patient communication strategies around serious illness, and surgical techniques in ophthalmology.
In addition, he is passionate about improving the patient-provider relationship through cultural competency, reflective practice, and humanistic medicine. His writings on narrative medicine have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA Oncology, Academic Medicine, and the Journal of Palliative Medicine, among other publications. He previously graduated from Rice University in 2017 with a BS in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, and a BA in Medieval and Early Modern Studies. -
Shalmali Bane
Ph.D. Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Spring 2021
BioShalmali Bane is doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health. She is a trainee with the Center for Population Health Sciences, in the Stanford School of Medicine. She works with Dr. Suzan Carmichael on examining social determinants of reproductive health and perinatal outcomes. Shalmali grew up in India and received a biology degree from Stanford, with a focus in Neurobiology. Prior to graduate school, she was a healthcare consultant with the Analysis Group, where she focused on survey research, literature reviews, and budget impact modelling. She is passionate about equity and inclusion initiatives and serves on her departmental JEDI committee. She hopes to meld all of these experiences together in her current work: applying rigorous epidemiological methods to study how factors like socially determined race/ethnicity and socio-economic position impact the experiences of birthing persons.

Elizabeth Beam
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities / Neuroscience, Behavior, and Cognition, expected graduation Spring 2022
Ph.D. Student in Neurosciences with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities / Neuroscience, Behavior, and Cognition, admitted Autumn 2017
MSTP StudentBioAs an MD/PhD candidate at Stanford, Ellie Beam was awarded F30 grant funding by the NIMH to undertake specialized training in computational psychiatry, and she defended a PhD thesis in the Neurosciences within three years. Her thesis synthesized the texts and data of nearly 20,000 neuroimaging articles into a data-driven ontology of human brain function, forming the basis for a US patent and a first-author article in Nature Neuroscience. The idea of mapping brain function from the neuroimaging literature had been sparked a decade earlier when working directly with Professor Scott Huettel as an undergraduate at Duke to map the semantic structure of cognitive neuroscience through network analyses of article texts. Her undergraduate thesis was published as a first-author article in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and merited Graduation with Distinction in Neuroscience. She then dedicated two post-undergraduate years to full-time research in the lab of Professor Randy Buckner at Harvard and MGH, leading a project that related executive functioning deficits to frontoparietal network disruption in young adults at risk for depression. Her predoctoral work in neuroscience and psychiatry was recognized by the Leah J. Dickstein Medical Student Award, Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship and Research Fellowship, and Cleveland Technical Societies Scholarship.
