Seth Andrew Sharp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Endocrinology and Metabolism
BioSeth is a Larry L. Hillblom Postdoctoral Fellow in the Translational Genomics of Diabetes laboratory under Dr. Anna Gloyn with co-mentorship in statistical and population genetics from Dr. Manuel Rivas. Seth completed a B.E. in Applied Mathematics before studying a PhD at the University of Exeter with Drs. Richard Oram and Michael Weedon in which he spent significant time at the Pacific Northwest Research Institute developing new statistical models for polygenic risk scores to predict, screen and understand Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune disorders with screening expert Dr. William Hagopian. Seth was further seconded to the Alan Turing Institute in London where he used deep learning methods to develop neonatal blood spot polygenic risk screening panels. His postdoctoral studies at Stanford now focus on applying "GWAS-in-a-Dish' and "Polygenic Risk Score to Function (PRS2F)' approaches with rich cellular phenotyping from human donor islets to understand the molecular determinants of impaired insulin secretion in diabetes. He is involved in a number of national human islet research networks and gene-perturbation screen efforts aimed at better understanding diabetes, as well as clinical translation studies at Stanford aimed at improving precision medicine approaches to diabetes.

Chelse Spinner, PhD, MPH
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioAn Ohio native, Dr. Chelse Spinner obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences (Biomedical Studies) with a minor in Health Education from the University of Cincinnati. She earned a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology and Maternal & Child Health (MCH) from the University of South Florida. She received a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Health Sciences with a concentration in Behavioral Sciences from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Spinner is certified in public health and has experience working across health systems. Her research interests include health disparities, women’s health, social determinants of health, domains of structural racism, and oral-systemic health within the MCH population. She employs quantitative and qualitative methods in the hopes of providing innovative and evidence-informed research to improve health outcomes for marginalized and underserved communities. Her research agenda intends to focus on the exploration of social and structural factors that impact health and well-being.
