Magdalena Ladrón de Guevara
Postdoctoral Scholar, Reproductive Biology
BioMagdalena Ladrón de Guevara is a postdoctoral scholar in reproductive biology whose research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving early human embryo implantation and trophoblast behavior. Her work integrates single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, live imaging, CRISPR-based functional genomics, and genome editing to explore embryo–maternal interactions within the implantation niche.
Originally trained as a veterinarian in Argentina, Magdalena earned a master’s in Animal Genetics and Reproductive Biotechnology in Spain and completed her Ph.D. in Reproductive and Developmental Biology at the Università degli Studi di Milano as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie EUROVA network. Her experience spans both veterinary and human assisted reproduction, with deep expertise in embryo culture, oocyte maturation, gene regulation, genome editing, and the generation of genetically engineered mouse models. She brings a translational perspective to developmental biology and fertility research. -

Stephanie A. Leonard
Assistant Professor (Research) of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Maternal Fetal Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine, and of Epidemiology and Population Health
BioStephanie Leonard, PhD, MS, is an Assistant Professor in the Dunlevie Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center for Discovery, Innovation, and Clinical Impact (https://dunleviemfm.stanford.edu/) and holds courtesy appointments in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine and in Epidemiology and Population Health.
The goal of Dr. Leonard’s research is to advance positive health outcomes and experiences for pregnant individuals and newborns. She is interested in applying transdisciplinary methods to perinatal health research, with a focus on studying pregnancy-related morbidities in large data sources. Currently, her primary research interests are in utilizing large electronic health record datasets to conduct multi-site studies on chronic health condition treatments during pregnancy. To this end, she co-launched the OHDSI Pregnancy and Reproductive Health Work Group (https://www.ohdsi.org/workgroups/) and collaborates closely with the Harvard Program on Perinatal and Pediatric Pharmacoepidemiology (http://www.harvardpreg.org/). She also serves as a collaborator and mentor on a variety of obstetrics studies, including clinical trials, prospective and retrospective observational studies, and qualitative studies. Dr. Leonard's research program is currently funded by NHLBI (K01) and NICHD (U54).
Dr. Leonard trained in epidemiology at UCLA (MS) and UC Berkeley (PhD), where her research focused on nutrition in pregnancy. She completed a postdoc in Neonatal and Developmental Medicine at Stanford as part of the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences.
