Debarun Patra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDebarun Patra is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford Medicine, with a background in inflammation research. His research focuses on bridging cellular disease mechanisms with in vivo pathophysiology to identify novel therapeutic targets. His current work integrates advanced multi-omics tools, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, and animal models to investigate inflammatory and metabolic diseases (inflammatory bowel disease and MASH).
Debarun's doctoral research at IIT Ropar under Dr. Durba Pal was focused on exploring role of obese adipose tissue microenvironment in chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, particularly evaluating the interactions between adipocytes and macrophages. His findings revealed the critical roles of microRNA-210, cyclophilin-A, and Fetuin-A in adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. -
Andrea Pedroza Tobias
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Pediatrics
BioDr. Andrea Pedroza is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford Impact Labs and the Department of Pediatrics in the Partnerships for Research in Child Health Lab. She earned a Ph.D. in Global Health from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a Master of Science in Nutrition from the National Institute of Public Health in Mexico (INSP). Her research focuses on generating evidence for interventions and policy recommendations aimed at improving the dietary quality of children to impact their health and development. Currently, she is employing a community-engaged approach to design nutrition interventions and policy recommendations that aim to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods among low-income children to narrow the gap in health disparities.
