Franz Ake
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Ake is a computational biologist specializing in single-cell transcriptomics, alternative polyadenylation, and isoform regulation. His research focuses on developing computational methods and bioinformatic pipelines to characterize post-transcriptional regulation and differential isoform usage at single-cell resolution. During his PhD under the mentorship of Dr. Mireya Plass at the University of Barcelona and the IDIBELL Research Institute in Barcelona, Spain, he developed approaches for isoform quantification and the analysis of differential isoform usage in single-cell datasets.
Currently, his research at Stanford University focuses on multi-omics data integration, with a particular emphasis on spatial transcriptomics and cancer genomics to study tumor biology, tissue heterogeneity, and disease-associated molecular programs from high-dimensional sequencing data. -

Dr. Qiwen Deng
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research aims to understand how immune–stromal interactions shape tissue injury, repair, and fibrosis across chronic diseases. I combine multiplexed spatial proteomics (CODEX), single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and molecular pathology approaches to dissect the organization and function of complex tissue microenvironments. By mapping spatially resolved cellular neighborhoods in human biopsies, I seek to uncover conserved and disease-specific patterns that can guide biomarker discovery and therapeutic development.
Working within a laboratory focused on the mechanisms and therapeutic targeting of fibrotic diseases, I investigate chronic kidney disease alongside other models of organ fibrosis. With a background spanning molecular biology, therapeutic development, and spatial biology, I aim to advance studies that connect detailed tissue analysis with potential clinical applications. I welcome opportunities for collaborative research in chronic kidney disease and other fibrosis-related conditions. -

Rory Hills
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI work at the intersection of protein engineering, immunology, and translational medicine. My research focuses on building generalizable molecular tools to better measure and manipulate complex human disease. At Stanford, I am developing modular antibody platforms that enable high-resolution, spatial analysis of cancer and immune systems in intact tissue. I previously trained at Oxford and Cambridge, where I worked on next-generation vaccine platforms with collaborators across academia and industry.

Rongting Huang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Huang is a computational biologist with academic interests in cancer genomics and spatial biology, particularly in the field of gynecologic cancers. During her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Yuanhua Huang, she developed statistical methods to detect allele-specific somatic copy number variations from single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data, aiming to understand genetic diversity in biological systems. Currently, her research focuses on advancing gynecologic cancer studies and women’s health through spatial technology platforms, computational modeling, and innovative data visualizations to uncover meaningful insights.
Outside of research, she enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and calligraphy, which help her stay creative and balanced. -
Rathinaraja Jeyaraj
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI work at the intersection of AI, multimodal learning, and large-scale image analytics, with a strong focus on computational pathology and foundation models for healthcare. My current research interests include LLMs, VLMs, multimodal reasoning, whole-slide image analysis, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and trustworthy AI for medical decision support.
I develop scalable deep learning systems spanning WSI preprocessing, multiple instance learning, segmentation, survival prediction, and multimodal image-text modeling. My work also involves attention interpretability, contrastive learning, pathology foundation model adaptation, and large-scale AI pipelines. Beyond healthcare AI, I have experience in time-series forecasting, distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, and real-time computer vision systems for industrial and smart-city applications.
I am particularly interested in building reliable, interpretable, and clinically meaningful AI systems that bridge computer vision, multimodal learning, and large-scale reasoning. -
Jeyun Jo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Jeyun Jo received his Pharm.D. from Pusan National University in 2016 and his Ph.D. in pharmacy at the same institution in 2021. His thesis studies focused on the first total synthesis of anmindenol A and optimization of 2-anilinopyrimidine-based selective inhibitors against triple-negative breast cancer cells. He then worked for one year as a senior research scientist at Chong Kun Dang, a leading pharmaceutical company in Korea, where he developed large-sacale synthetic processes for engineered peptides. In May 2022, he joined the Bogyo lab at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow. His current research focuses on developing highly selective inhibitors and activity-based probes targeting specific serine hydrolases in pathogenic bacteria and cancer.
