Henry Bair
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities, expected graduation Spring 2023
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 vision and health care, 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.

Brandon Bergsneider
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioBrandon Hwa-Lin Bergsneider, from Los Angeles, CA, is pursuing an MD at Stanford School of Medicine. Brandon earned a bachelor of science in human biology from Stanford, and a MSc in bioinformatics and theoretical systems biology from Imperial College London. Brandon aspires to use data science-based technologies to advance health equity through early diagnosis, democratizing health information, and improving treatment efficacy. At Stanford and Imperial, he researched the molecular bases of neurodegeneration, the genetic susceptibility of neuroblastoma patients to SARS-CoV-2, computational protein structure prediction, and using machine learning to identify chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. Brandon has also worked at the National Institutes of Health, where he used computational network analysis to identify clinical and demographic determinants of brain tumor patient symptom burden. Brandon has multiple first-author publications and, outside of academics, enjoys volunteering as a surf-therapy instructor for military veterans. He is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, a Fulbright Scholar, and an NIH Cancer Research Training Award Fellow.

Anna Maria Bombardieri
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Masters Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Autumn 2022Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy overall research goal is to advance clinical practice by providing anesthesiologists with data to most effectively maintain cerebral blood flow in the perioperative period.
I am interested in the effect of the autonomic nervous system on cerebral blood flow regulation.
I intend to combine regional anesthetic techniques and noninvasive bedside cerebral blood flow monitoring to understand the effect of the sympathetic system on cerebral blood flow.
A secondary goal is to apply this new knowledge to investigate whether cervical sympathetic blocks improve long term neurological outcomes. -
Kyna Byrd
Masters Student in Laboratory Animal Science, admitted Autumn 2021
Stanford Student Employee, Comparative MedicineBioKyna (pronounced kee-nuh) Byrd is currently a Master's of Laboratory Animal Science student at Stanford University, with an expected graduation date of March 2023. Their research focus is on animal behavior and welfare, and refining the ways we care for biomedical research animals to improve experimental translation and reproducibility.
Kyna is a certified Laboratory Animal Technologist (RLATG) and has over a decade of animal husbandry experience with countless species in biomedical research, zoos, wildlife rehabilitation, and animal shelters, as well as many years of teaching and public speaking experience.
After graduation, Kyna is open to career opportunities that involve enhancing animal well-being in any setting. They are especially interested in the use of enrichment and training to improve animal care, as well as managing quality and compliance for animal use in research.
