Christina Gangemi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr Christina Gangemi received her undergraduate degree from Monash University (2016) specialising in molecular biology and biochemistry. She became an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Scholar (2016) and completed her Honours thesis (2017) at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), Monash University. She later joined Professor Harald Janovjak’s group at ARMI (2018) as a research assistant before completing her doctorate degree (2019-2023) where she studied optical approaches to promote pancreatic beta cell regeneration. Key achievements from this work include establishing an automated image analysis approach to quantify islet proliferation assays, designing a modular light-emitting diode shelving system for ex vivo and in vitro illumination of primary islets, generating a new assay to test cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) function (a known beta cell proliferation driver), and exploring the effects of photoswitchable pdDronpa domains when engineered into CDK6. During her candidature, she was awarded a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia PhD Top-Up Scholarship. In 2023 she undertook a Postdoctoral Research Associate role in the Janovjak group at Flinders University and has recently joined Professor Seung Kim's group at Stanford University.

Dina Ganji
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Visiting Scholar, Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesBioDina Ganji, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist and Visiting Scholar at Stanford University, working at the intersection of clinical psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and translational neuroscience. Her research focuses on integrating neuroimaging, neuromodulation techniques, and clinical phenotyping to advance precision psychiatry, with a particular emphasis on autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental disorders, and cognitive neuroscience in children, as well as mood and substance use disorders.
She has a strong and growing interest in autism, pediatric neurocognition, and broader neurodevelopmental conditions, with a particular focus on understanding cognitive and behavioral mechanisms in early development and translating these insights into more individualized and effective interventions.
Dr. Ganji completed her Psychiatry Residency at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, where she also gained extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of psychiatric disorders. She is a board-certified psychiatrist with clinical expertise in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care.
At Stanford University, she has contributed to multiple interdisciplinary research programs. In Dr. Maldonado’s lab, she serves as a research coordinator for large-scale clinical and longitudinal studies, including delirium outcomes in patients (LUCIDIFY study), psychosocial assessment in transplant candidates (SIPAT project), and clinical cohorts involving CAR-T and hematopoietic stem cell therapy.
Previously, in the Brain Stimulation Lab at Stanford, she gained hands-on experience in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including motor threshold assessment and clinical application of H-coil protocols in patients with OCD, depression and anxiety disorders. She also received training in functional MRI (fMRI) data acquisition and interpretation through advanced neuroscience courses.
In Iran, she served as Research and Development Lead at Atrin Clinic, where she integrated repetitive TMS (rTMS), pharmacological treatment, and clinical assessment tools for patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance use disorders, while systematically monitoring treatment outcomes.
Her research output includes multiple peer-reviewed publications in international journals, covering topics such as autism spectrum disorder, neuromodulation in bipolar disorder, congenital heart defects in vulnerable pediatric populations, neurocognitive effects of environmental exposure, and adjunctive treatments in psychiatric disorders.
Beyond research, Dr. Ganji is actively involved in academic service, including conference organization, neuropsychiatry committee activities, and peer review for scientific journals. She has also completed professional training in mind-body medicine approaches.
Dr. Ganji is deeply committed to patient-centered psychiatry and is particularly motivated by understanding autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and pediatric cognitive neuroscience. She aims to bridge neuroscience and clinical psychiatry to develop more precise, individualized interventions that improve outcomes in children and patients with complex psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. -

Hayley Gans
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe focus of my laboratory is the immune response to viral vaccines evaluating the ontogeny of responses in infants and limitations in immunocompromised hosts. We have studied responses to an early two-dose measles immunization, one versus 2 doses of varicella immunization, and polio vaccine in preterm versus term infants. Other active areas of research include measles and varicella immunity in HIV infected individuals, and transplant recipients.

Alex Gao
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe integrate computational genome mining with high-throughput experimental approaches and structural biology to harness the rich diversity of genes from microbes, with the goal of developing new antibiotic strategies and molecular biotechnology. A major area of current interest is uncovering novel molecular functions involved in anti-phage defense and bacteria–phage interactions, which are a major driver of molecular innovation in nature.
