Rabeya Tus Sadia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am currently working on multimodal and multitask foundation models for cancer detection and surgical video analysis. My research focuses on medical image and video segmentation, MRI and ultrasound analysis, foundation models, reinforcement learning, and AI agents. My broader research spans generative modeling, causal machine learning, multimodal learning, large language models, state-space models, spatial and single-cell omics, structured data analysis, and trustworthy artificial intelligence. My goal is to develop clinically meaningful, interpretable, fair, and reliable AI methods for real-world biomedical and healthcare applications.

Neetu Saini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy research interests focus on translational human T-cell immunology, with an emphasis on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their therapeutic potential in restoring immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis. I am particularly interested in engineering FOXP3-programmed CD4⁺ T cells as a stable and functional alternative to conventional Tregs, especially in inflammatory settings where endogenous Tregs may be unstable or dysfunctional. My work integrates gene-editing approaches, immunophenotyping, and human organoid systems to study how these engineered cells interact with epithelial and stem cell compartments, with a focus on mechanisms of tissue repair and immune–epithelial crosstalk in barrier tissues such as the intestine. Moving forward, I aim to advance next-generation cell therapies by combining insights from T-cell biology, tissue biology, and disease modeling to develop durable and clinically relevant strategies for treating immune-mediated and epithelial barrier disorders.
