Gernot Neumayer
Sr Res Scientist-Basic Life, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioI am a passionate scientist with expertise in basic and translational research related to ageing, cancer, genomic instability, DNA damage response (HDR & NHEJ), genome editing (CRISPR), regenerative medicine (iPSCs), cellular identity (reprogramming), and proteomics (interactions, biomarkers, target identification). My extensive experience is reflected by 10 peer reviewed publications. I possess excellent communication and technical writing skills (English/German), as evidenced by collaborations with world renowned institutions and >$460,000 won from scholarships, grants & awards. Recent highlights: Postdoctoral Young Investigator Award from Stanford University for scientific merit, commitment & leadership; “Played a big part” in securing a CRISPR-based $5.1Mio grant for regenerative medicine at Stanford University; Poster prize (out of 77 entries) at the Department of Pathology, Stanford University 2019 research day.

Sharon S. Newman
Postdoc Res Affiliate, Rad/Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection
Postdoctoral Scholar, RadiologyBioI am interested in increasing access to medical technologies, particularly in low-resource settings. I develop computational and bio-analytical technologies for early detection of disease, presently focusing on methods to increase sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities in diagnostic devices. Through developing these systems, I get to explore and play with subjects such as statistical modeling, image processing, manipulation and design of molecular systems, and optimization techniques. As a student, I have gotten to take classes ranging from many project based computation courses to linear dynamical systems to deep dives into chemistry of therapeutic drug development. I look forward to bringing my wide base of experiences in both computational and biological realms towards breakthroughs in precision health and diagnostics amenable to lower resource settings.
I also am always excited to teach and mentor, and have been involved with a myriad of opportunities including curriculum development and teaching AI/ML to high school students in US and India, K-12 STEM outreach in US, Scratch curriculum teaching to teachers in Taiwan, and graduate level courses such as Biological macromolecules to Stanford students! Im always happy to chat about how to best reach and inspire students and people of all ages, so please reach out! -
Sydney Ng
Internal Communications Associate, Neurology
BioSydney Ng is a communications and design professional with an M.A. in Communication Studies and a B.A. in Design Studies from San Jose State University. Her academic background touches on applications of digital media in organizational and intercultural communication, media and entertainment studies, graphic design, and art history.
Previously, she worked as an HR Specialist/Office Manager at Denodo Technologies, a data virtualization company, and as a Digital Communications Specialist at SPUR (San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association), a urban public policy non-profit.
Sydney is interested in learning how technology can affect communications protocol within organizations, a curiosity that will fuel her work at Stanford University.
