Sivakamasundari V
Instructor, Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine
BioMy research interests are focused on understanding the molecular basis of early development and stem cells, as it is often aberrations in stem cells or signaling mechanisms between tissues that lead to diseased states, including tumor development and cancer progression. Knowledge of stem cells and development is also critical to develop appropriate cell-based therapies for various diseases or injuries. My prior and current works take advantage of both traditional techniques (gene targeting, lineage tracing) and state-of-the-art technologies (Single cell RNA sequencing, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq), Imaging Mass Cytometry) to elucidate fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying signaling in tissue biology.

Jeya Maria Jose Valanarasu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Jeya Maria Jose Valanarasu is a postdoctoral scholar working with the Stanford Machine Learning Group and the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI Center). He leads the AI for Healthcare bootcamp with Dr. Andrew Ng, Dr. Curt Langlotz, and Dr. Nigam Shah which provides Stanford students an opportunity to engage in advanced research at the intersection of AI and healthcare.
He obtained his Ph.D. and M.S from Johns Hopkins University where he worked on various problems in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Healthcare. His research aims to overcome the challenges that arise when translating machine learning models to practical applications for healthcare and engineering sectors. His works have spanned over topics like designing effective deep architectures, model adaptability to changing environments, role of data and annotations, multi-modal learning and taming large models for computer vision and healthcare tasks. He has published over 25 peer-reviewed journal/conference articles at top venues and filed 3 U.S. patents. He has been awarded Amazon Research Fellowship 2022, Best Student Paper Awards at ICRA 2022, CVIP 2019, MICCAI Young Scientist Impact Award Finalist 2022, and the NIH MICCAI Award 2022. He has also served as a reviewer for multiple journals and conferences. -
Hannah Valantine
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is focused on understanding the mechanism mediating acute and chronic allograft failure, in particular on the role of microvascular injury in acute allograft failure and the mechanisms of mediating transplant coronary artery disease. 1. Role of microvascular injury in acute allograft failure.
