Tomin James
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioMy work involves designing and developing AI/ML-based algorithms to find answers for cutting-edge problems using multi-disciplinary data. This involves data from space-borne and ground-based instruments for astrophysics and space science studies, high-speed imaging data for behavioral neuroscience experiments, multi-omics data for finding biomarkers affecting population health, clinical data for detecting health anomalies, and EHR data for patient trajectory prediction and personalized medicine.

Mathangi Janakiraman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAs a postdoctoral scholar, I am studying the gut ecosystem, gut functionality nad neuroimmune interactions during aging and age-associated diseases like AD, and the role of fermented food in modulating gut health. I expect to be able to show that dietary modifications can help with healthy aging and to contribute to possibly leveraging dietary interventions therapeutically in age-associated diseases.

Lu Ji
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
BioDriven by the enthusiasm and curiosity about life science and human disease, I have been working on cancer research for more than 5 years. I focus on developing novel therapeutic targets from tumor microenvironment and uncovering mechanisms of tumor progression, especially with expertise in gastrointestinal tumor biology and tumor microenvironment analysis. Now I'm digging into a field about finding a way to empower immunotherapy by appropriately utilizing radiation therapy.

Yingying Jin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Human Gene Therapy
BioYingying is a postdoctoral researcher at Kay Lab. She completed her PhD at Peking Union Medical College in China in 2024, under the supervision of Prof. De-Pei Liu. Her research focused on gene editing and ssDNA-protein interactions. During her PhD, she developed an innovative strategy to enhance HDR efficiency of ssDNA donors by incorporating HDR-boosting modules. In 2025, she joined Kay Lab, where her current work involves improving exogenous gene expression delivered by AAV through engineering the AAV genome.

Jeyun Jo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Jeyun Jo received his Pharm.D. from Pusan National University in 2016 and his Ph.D. in pharmacy at the same institution in 2021. His thesis studies focused on the first total synthesis of anmindenol A and optimization of 2-anilinopyrimidine-based selective inhibitors against triple-negative breast cancer cells. He then worked for one year as a senior research scientist at Chong Kun Dang, a leading pharmaceutical company in Korea, where he developed large-sacale synthetic processes for engineered peptides. In May 2022, he joined the Bogyo lab at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow. His current research focuses on developing highly selective inhibitors and activity-based probes targeting specific serine hydrolases in pathogenic bacteria and cancer.

Chaitanya K. Joshi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI'm a Stanford Data Science Fellow and Postdoc at the Department of Biochemistry, working with Prof. Rhiju Das. I'm building lab-in-the-loop AI for RNA biology, bridging deep learning and high-throughput wet lab experiments at scale.
Previously, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge with Prof. Pietro Liò. My doctoral work focused on Geometric Deep Learning for molecular modelling and design. As a highlight, I developed gRNAde, an inverse design framework that we used to design and experimentally validate new functional RNA enzymes in collaboration with Dr. Phil Holliger's group at MRC LMB. My research has been recognized by the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship and the A*STAR National Science Scholarship. I've also been a research scientist intern at Prescient Design (Genentech) and FAIR Chemistry (Meta AI) during my PhD. -
Israel Juarez Contreras
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Rajat Rohatgi at Stanford University, where I study how membrane organization controls sterol accessibility and signaling. I earned my Ph.D. at UC San Diego with Itay Budin, where I uncovered how sterol structure and sphingolipid composition regulate membrane phase behavior in yeast and reconstituted systems. My current work translates these biophysical principles into disease-relevant contexts, with a focus on lysosomal lipid organization and sterol trafficking defects, including those associated with NPC1. Ultimately, I aim to establish an independent research program that defines how cells interpret membrane physical properties and how their dysregulation contributes to human disease.
