Shailja
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioDr. Shailja is a Postdoctoral researcher in the Radiological Science Laboratory at Stanford. She recently completed her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research vision is to model healthcare data for precise diagnostics using AI and to integrate domain knowledge to "close the loop" between surgeons, physicians, and scientists. Her Ph.D. dissertation focused on developing a principled approach to model the white matter pathways in the human brain to analyze the topology of brain connections. At the Radiological Science Laboratory, she will primarily focus on mapping MRI structural and functional connectivity imaging data with electrophysiological measurements in the same patients.

Oliver O. Aalami, MD
Clinical Professor, Surgery - Vascular Surgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe launched a national precision medicine PAD trial called, VascTrac (http://vasctrac.stanford.edu/). This trial is mobile phone based and leverages Apple's ResearchKit Platform to monitor a patient's activity both pre- and post-intervention. We are validating mobile phone surveillance for PAD patients and are currently enrolling.

Asad Aali
Casual - Non-Exempt, Rad/Integrative Biomedical Imaging Informatics at Stanford
BioI am a research engineer in the Integrative Biomedical Imaging Informatics group at Stanford (IBIIS). My work involves the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for applications in:
1. Computer Vision
2. Medical Imaging
3. Biomedical Informatics
I received my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Dr. Jon Tamir. During my MS in ECE, I completed a research internship at Amazon Health, exploring the application of large language models (LLMs) in clinical text summarization tasks. Previously, I graduated with a Master of Science in Information Technology (MSITM) from The University of Texas at Austin and completed my capstone project at Dell Technologies, as a Machine Learning Engineer. -

Carla Abdelnour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioOriginally from Caracas, Venezuela, Dr. Carla Abdelnour received her medical degree at the Central University of Venezuela, and then completed her neurology residency training at the University Hospital Príncipe de Asturias in Madrid, Spain. She conducted her doctorate in Medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona working with Drs. Dag Aarsland, Javier Pagonabarraga and Jaime Kulisevsky. Her thesis focused on the influence of Alzheimer´s disease copathology in atrophy patterns, longitudinal cognitive decline, and heterogeneity of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
Carla´s main interest is the study of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Lewy body disease. As a Sue Berghoff LBD Research Fellow, her plan is to investigate the impact of different comorbidities in the clinical presentation, cognitive profile, and disease progression of Lewy body disease. Additionally, she wants to study the biological underpinnings of prodromal Lewy body disease to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. -
Gita Chu Abhiraman
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2024
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioGita Abhiraman is an MD/PhD Candidate at Stanford. She completed her PhD research in Immunology advised by Dr. Christopher Garcia, where she studied cytokine signaling, immune receptor structure, and protein engineering. Gita completed her bachelor's degree in Physics, with a focus in Biophysics, at Harvard University. She previously studied tumor-immune dynamics and helped to engineer the bacterial enzyme sortase for live cell-tracking applications, under the mentorship of Dr. Stephanie Dougan at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
