Elizabeth (Liz) Chin
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Informatics, admitted Autumn 2017
Stanford Stdnt Employee-Summer, Medicine - Med/PCORBioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University, advised by Euan Ashley and Trevor Hastie. The overarching goal of my research is to create targeted interventions to aid medically vulnerable and marginalized populations to prevent poor health outcomes and the social determinants of these outcomes. My work centers around integrating data from disparate sources using a variety of quantitative approaches such as machine learning, simulations, and inference.
My research was generously funded by the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship and Stanford Graduate Fellowship. Previously, I obtained my BS in Applied Mathematics at UCLA, where I worked with Xinshu (Grace) Xiao. I have also worked under the guidance of Rachel Martin, Carter Butts, and Pardis Sabeti, and as a machine learning scientist at Adobe Systems and Quora.
If you’re interested in my work or share interests, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am also on the 2021-2022 academic job market. You can contact me at etchin at stanford.edu or follow me on Twitter.

Scott Fleming
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Informatics, admitted Autumn 2018
Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2019BioScott Fleming is a Ph.D. Student in Stanford's Biomedical Informatics Training Program, Department of Biomedical Data Science. He completed his B.S. in Mathematical and Computational Science at Stanford University. During that time, he worked with Dr. Leanne Williams to build pipelines for analyzing heterogeneous, high-dimensional datasets in order to discover patterns of brain activity that contribute to anxiety and depression. His most recent work has focused on developing machine learning methods to make accurate and effective crowd-powered diagnoses for children with autism and other developmental disorders.

Timothy Keyes
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2023
Ph.D. Student in Cancer Biology, admitted Winter 2018
MSTP Student
Masters Student in Biomedical Informatics, admitted Winter 2021BioTimothy is an MD/PhD student studying cancer biology and biomedical informatics at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a joint member of Kara Davis's laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics and Garry Nolan's Laboratory in the Department of Pathology.
As a biomedical data scientist, Timothy's research focuses on the application of machine learning to single-cell data analysis in the context of pediatric leukemia. Through the use of emerging, high-throughout single-cell technologies such as mass cytometry and sequence-based cytometry, Timothy's research is designed to build predictive models of patient outcomes - such as relapse or minimal residual disease (MRD) - at the point of diagnosis. To do so, he uses a variety of computational tools including generalized linear models, clustering, and deep learning. In addition, his work prioritizes constructing easy-to-use, highly-reproducible data analysis pipelines that can be shared as open-source tools for the scientific community.
Outside of science, Timothy has a longstanding interest in human rights and social justice work among members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community. He currently serves as the resident data scientist for the Medical Student Pride Alliance (MSPA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion for LGBTQ+ medicals students in medical schools across the United States. As a data scientist at MSPA, Timothy analyzes and visualizes data to guide MSPA's strategic decision-making as well as for academic publication. He also advises and mentors other student members of MSPA performing data analysis in Python and R.
In recognition of his accomplishments, Timothy has received several institutional and national award for both research and advocacy. These include a National Research Service Award (NRSA) from the National Cancer Institute, a Junior Leadership Award from the Building the Next Generation of Academic Physicians (BNGAP) LGBT Workforce, Stanford Medicine’s Integrated Strategic Plan Star Award, and a Point Foundation Scholarship. -
