Gita Chu Abhiraman
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2023
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioGita Abhiraman is currently an MD-PhD candidate in the lab of Dr. Christopher Garcia, where she researches the structure and function of immune receptors. She is a PhD Candidate in the Immunology Program at Stanford. Gita received her bachelor's degree in physics with a focus in biophysics from Harvard University in 2018. She previously studied tumor-immune dynamics and helped to engineer sortase, a bacterial enzyme, for in vivo labeling under the mentorship of Dr. Stephanie Dougan at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Amy Fan
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2016
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInherited mutations in the RUNX1 gene cause a platelet disorder and increased risk of blood cancers. However, it is still unclear what actually causes progression to cancer in these patients. Using genetic editing, I am investigating how RUNX1 mutations contribute to disease.

David Furman
Affiliate, Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection Operations
Visiting Scholar, Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection OperationsBioDavid Furman is the Director of the Stanford 1,000 Immunomes Project and the Buck Institute Artificial Intelligence Platform. Dr. Furman obtained his Doctoral degree in Biochemistry and Immunology (summa cum laude) from the School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, for his work on cancer immune-surveillance. During his Postdoc at the laboratory of Professor Mark M Davis (Stanford), he conducted cutting-edge research in Data Science and Systems Immunology to answer scientific questions with strong potential for translational medicine, including the effect of aging, gender and common viral infections in immune system functioning. Dr. Furman’s work focuses in Data Science applied to inflammation and aging. Before joining as an Adjunct Investigator at the National Scientific and Research Council (CONICET), Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dr. Furman was Senior Scientist at the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection (ITI), Stanford, and his work involved the use of high-bandwidth/high-throughput technologies and Machine Learning tools to better define the health of the human immune system and its implications on age-related disease.
