Christina Maria Miranda
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Clinical Research / Quality Improvement, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioI am a Medical Degree candidate at Stanford University. I am originally from Milford, New Jersey. In 2021, I graduated with a bachelors degree in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania. I am interested in pursuing a career in eating disorder treatment and research. I am also the co-founder and CEO of a Philadelphia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Body Empowerment Project. We deliver educational workshops related to body image and self-esteem to Philadelphia public school students using a near-peer mentorship model and a validated body-positive curriculum.

Siavash Moghadami
Ph.D. Student in Chemical and Systems Biology, admitted Summer 2022
BioI am currently embarking on my Ph.D. journey at Stanford University’s Department of Chemical and Systems Biology, generously supported by both NIH and NSF grants. Under the guidance of Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, from the Department of Chemistry and the Stanford ChEM-H Institute, and Longzhi Tan from the Department of Neurobiology, my research continues to explore the fascinating intersection of chemistry and neuroscience.
In addition to my studies at Stanford, I remain actively involved with the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) project, which I joined during my time at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). This ambitious project aims to build comprehensive brain cell atlases, providing a critical molecular and anatomical foundation for understanding brain function and disorders. At UCSD, under the mentorship of Don W. Cleveland and Bogdan Bintu, I contributed to BICAN’s efforts in mapping brain cells and circuits, focusing on transformative research in regenerative medicine.
Prior to Stanford, I earned my B.Sc./M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology at UCSD. My research there concentrated on the in-vivo transformation of glial cells into functional neurons, a pioneering effort in the field of neuroscience.
Outside of my academic endeavors, I enjoy reading, exploring the realms of Artificial Intelligence, traveling, cooking, and continuously seeking to expand my skill set. I am excited about the opportunities to engage with and contribute to this vibrant professional community.
