Meghali Aich

Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine

BioMy research interest lies in understanding how environmental factors contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders and translating those insights into therapies. Aligned with this, my current research in Dr. Anca Pasca’s lab at Stanford focuses on how reductive stress associated with maternal metabolic syndrome affects fetal brain development.

Naga Achyuth Reddy Ailury

Affiliate, Surgery - Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

BioNaga Achyuth Reddy is a CIRM Bridges Research Scholar in the Hagey Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Michael T. Longaker. His journey to the United States marked the beginning of a new chapter, driven by a commitment to advancing his education and pursuing a career in biotechnology and regenerative medicine. Motivated by a strong interest in scientific research, he sought opportunities to develop the technical and analytical skills necessary to contribute to translational biomedical research.

To further these goals, Achyuth Reddy was selected for the highly competitive CIRM Bridges Stem Cell Technology and Laboratory Management (SCTLM) program at California State University Channel Islands. As a CIRM Bridges trainee, he participated in scientific conferences, outreach initiatives, and educational programs that broadened his understanding of stem cell biology and its impact on society. These experiences strengthened his appreciation for public engagement and the importance of advancing awareness of the transformative potential of stem cell research.

At Stanford, Achyuth Reddy conducts research focused on regenerative medicine, biomaterials, wound healing, and fibrosis. His work has provided extensive hands-on experience in stem cell and primary cell culture, murine animal models, biomaterials research, histology, Immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, protocol development, and translational research. He is passionate about bridging fundamental biological discoveries with clinical applications and enjoys working in a collaborative environment where scientific discoveries have the potential to improve patient care. In addition to conducting research, he actively develops experimental protocols, presents scientific findings, and collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to advance regenerative medicine.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to develop and clinically implement new technologies for high-precision and noninvasive intervention upon the nervous system. Every few millimeters of the brain is functionally distinct, and different parts of the brain may have counteracting responses to therapy. To better match our therapies to neuroscience, we develop techniques that allow intervention upon only the right part of the nervous system at the right time, using technologies like focused ultrasound and nanotechnology.
