Fereshteh Jahanbani
Basic Life Res Scientist, Genetics
BioDr. Jahanbani received her PharmD from Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) and PhD in pharmacology from Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) and her postdoctoral degree from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). She joined Stanford Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine in June 2012. Her work is focused on better understanding the etiology of chronic complex conditions and multi-morbidity using multi-omics and precision health approaches. She has been leading ME/CFS related disorders multi-omics study combining the power of both family and population approaches and also cofounded “Research To The People at Stanford Program”.

Livnat Jerby
Assistant Professor of Genetics
BioLivnat Jerby is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University. Her research focuses on multicellular circuits as a disease driver and therapeutic avenue, aiming to develop tissue remodeling and immunomodulating interventions for disease treatment and prevention. As a postdoctoral fellow in Aviv Regev's lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, she identified novel regulators of T cell exclusion and dysfunction. Her work identified new mechanisms controlling cellular and tissue immunogenicity and demonstrated the potential of epigenetic reprogramming as a therapeutic modality to overcome immunotherapy resistance in cancer. Dr. Jerby holds a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Biology and obtained her PhD in 2016 from Tel Aviv University, where she worked with Prof. Eytan Ruppin, studying non-linear genetic interactions. Bringing together latest advances in genetic engineering, single-cell genomics, imaging, and machine learning, her laboratory develops systems for studying cellular circuits at greater scale, resolution, and depth, and identify new ways to target and engineer endogenous and synthetic immune circuits.
Dr. Jerby’s research has been generously supported by the Schmidt Family Foundation, Rothschild Foundation, the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF), Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA), Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Chan Zuckerberg Biohub initiative.
