Andrea Gonzalez Montoro
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioDr. Gonzalez-Montoro's research interests involve the development of novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) instrumentation for an accurate in vivo imaging of the metabolic processes and the study of diseasses in humans and small animals.
In addition to obtain a high efficiency of PET scanners when combined with MRI or CT scanners, my research focusses on instrumentation projects related to enhance the sensitivity and 3D spatial, and/or temporal resolutions. -
Kaiwen Hsiao
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioKaiwen Hsiao a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford in the DeSimone lab. Her postdoctoral research focuses on developing high-resolution 3D CLIP printers and developing stereolithography computational models. Her research interests involve in fabricating micro-architectures for bio-oriented applications and microelectronic applications. Before she join Stanford, she worked on computational lithography as a design engineer at Intel and at Apple camera hardware. She did her PhD at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign where she focused on understanding the intermolecular interactions of concentrated polymer solutions and ring polymers.

Dr. M. T. Jeena
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioDr. Jeena is a chemist whose research primarily focused on exploring chemical reactions inside the live cell, creating supramolecular self-assembly inside the cellular sub-compartments and organelle membrane perturbation to alter the cellular fate for applications such as cancer therapeutics, imaging, and in-depth study of cellular metabolism. At present (2021-) she is pursuing post-doctoral training under Dr. Jianghong Rao at Stanford School of Medicine. She did PhD at Ulsan National Institute of Science and technology (2013-2018, GPA 4.11/4.9, Thesis: Organelle Localization Induced Self-assembly of Amphiphilic Peptides: A Novel Strategy for Therapeutics) under prof. Ja-Hyoung Ryu. Jeena's PhD research introduced a new concept of mitochondria localized self-assembly of small molecules as a potential strategy to induce selective cancer cell death. She received MS in Applied Chemistry from Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kerala, India (2012, score ranked second in the university) and BS in Chemistry from Payyannur Collage, Kerala, India (2010, score ranked third in the university).

Negar Sadeghipour
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioMy research investigates minimally invasive screening methods for early detection of cancer. As a postdoctoral researcher, I design experiments and develop mathematical models to relate the cancer blood-based biomarkers to tumor growth states. My research also touches on targeted cancer therapy using microRNA for cancer. Prior to my affiliation with Stanford, I was a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and my research contributions mainly focused on the biodistribution of cancer drugs, drug-target biomolecules, and targeted imaging agents in living subjects. I am interested in quantitative molecular imaging and kinetic modeling of imaging agents.
