Joshua Gillard
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Josh Gillard is a Canadian biomedical data scientist with experience in bioinformatics, machine learning, and immunology. After completing a BSc and a MSc in Experimental Medicine at McGill university, he relocated to the Netherlands for his PhD in bioinformatics at Radboud University in Nijmegen. During his PhD, he gained experience analyzing and interpreting complex immunological data (bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, high-dimensional cytometry, high-throughput proteomics) derived from human observational or intervention studies (vaccination and experimental human infection). This work revealed molecular and cellular correlates of clinically important endpoints such as disease severity, symptom progression, and antibody responses. In 2022, Josh relocated to Stanford to join the Gaudilliere lab to develop and apply multi-omic data integration and machine learning techniques, establishing that early gestational immune dysregulation can predict preterm birth. Since 2024, in the Ashley lab, Josh is developing deep learning models to investigate aberrant splicing in cardiovascular disease.

Shreya Gupta
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a biomedical researcher focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) behavior in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. My work investigates how signaling pathways, including Notch3 and Thrombospondin-1, regulate SMC phenotypic switching, fibrous cap stability, and plaque vulnerability in atherosclerosis, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Edward Guzman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioEdward Guzman is a postdoctoral fellow in cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), focusing on RNA treatments for vascular diseases. His research has advanced the development of novel cardiovascular therapies and deepened our understanding of endothelial cell biology under diseased conditions.
