Yuki Imaoka
Visiting Assistant Professor, Surgery - Abdominal Transplantation
BioYuki Imaoka, MD, PhD is a physician-scientist specializing in gastrointestinal and transplant surgery, oncology, and immunology, with over a decade of clinical experience. Dr. Imaoka earned his MD from Hiroshima University, Japan, followed by a PhD in Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery from Hiroshima University's Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. After completing his clinical training and professional appointments at Hiroshima University Hospital, he joined Stanford University in August 2022 as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Sasaki Lab, focusing on translational research.
Dr. Imaoka’s clinical expertise includes a Senior Residency in General Surgery and a Clinical Fellowship in Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery at Hiroshima University Hospital. In his academic roles, particularly as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, he has contributed to groundbreaking research, including clinical trials investigating liver natural killer (NK) cell therapy.
His PhD research made significant advances in exploring the anti-tumor properties of NK cells, especially in the context of tissue-specific NK cell immunotherapy. This work has the potential to revolutionize treatments for liver diseases, as it pioneers new pathways in cellular immunotherapy. Dr. Imaoka’s translational research seeks to address the unmet needs in liver disease treatment, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through innovative therapeutic approaches. His goal is to continue advancing the field of gastrointestinal surgery and transplantation, driving progress in both research and clinical practice. -

Amy M Inkster
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioAmy Inkster, PhD is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. She conducts research on epigenetic alterations in pregnancy and early life to understand the molecular levers affecting healthy development. She primarily uses large 'omics datasets to study the effect of environmental exposures on pregnancy outcomes and maternal health.
Dr. Inkster received her PhD in Medical Genetics from the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), where her research focused on evaluating DNA methylation variation in prenatal life, primarily in the context of placental epigenetics, sex differences, prenatal exposures, and X-chromosome inactivation. She holds a BSc in Chemistry. As a cross-disciplinary researcher, her work and research interests lie at the intersection of molecular mechanisms and their impacts on human health and disease at the population level. -
