Samuel Montalvo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioAs a clinical exercise physiologist, sport scientist, and biomechanist, I study the mechanical, physiological, and molecular determinants of human performance and health. I am certified as a Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS), Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction (CSCS,*D), and Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and a member of the Stanford Bioinformatics Core and Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance. My training has been supported by the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship, the NIH T32 Research Training in Myocardial Biology at Stanford, and a two-year NIH/NHLBI Loan Repayment Program award in Research in Emerging Areas Critical to Human Health.
My research integrates clinical exercise physiology, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, biomechanics, and multi-omics to better understand how physical activity influences cardiovascular health, biological adaptation, and athletic performance. Through the NIH-funded Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC), I analyze large clinical, multi-omic, multi-tissue, multimodal, and multi-species datasets to identify mechanisms and biomarkers of exercise response.
I also collaborate on projects involving sports cardiology and electrocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, exercise and neuromuscular disease, and athlete performance, including work with Stanford Baseball and external sports-science collaborators.
I contribute to professional and institutional service as a Senior Editor for the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research and Financial Officer of the Stanford University Postdoctoral Association (SURPAS).
Teaching and mentoring are central to my academic work. As a first-generation college graduate and Mexican American with Indigenous heritage, I am committed to creating supportive and inclusive pathways for trainees from underrepresented backgrounds. I serve as a Postdoctoral Mentoring Coach with the Stanford Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and mentor undergraduate, graduate, and medical trainees and residents through several Stanford programs and initiatives, including PRISM and the MAVERICs program within the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute.
My long-term goal is to lead an independent research program that combines exercise physiology, multi-omics, physical activity, nutrition, cardiovascular science, and sports performance while mentoring the next generation of scientists. -
Bryan Mosher
Clinical Scholar, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular MedicineBioBryan Mosher, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist in Adult Congenital Heart Disease at Stanford University. His clinical and research interests focus on understanding the mechanisms that drive cardiovascular dysfunction across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on congenital heart disease, exercise physiology, myocardial remodeling, pulmonary vascular disease, and precision medicine. His research integrates advanced cardiovascular imaging, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, multimodal phenotyping, and emerging single-cell technologies to identify biologically distinct patient phenotypes and develop more individualized approaches to risk stratification and therapy.
Dr. Mosher completed his pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Michigan and advanced fellowship training in Adult Congenital Heart Disease at Stanford. He holds both an MD and PhD, with doctoral training in neuroscience focused on optogenetics and electrophysiology. His long-term goal is to build a translational research program that connects human phenotyping with mechanistic discovery to improve outcomes for patients with congenital and acquired cardiovascular disease. -
Eric Mou, MD
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Oncology
BioI was born in Oregon and raised in Iowa, where I cultivated my initial interest in science and medicine. I completed my undergraduate degree and medical school at the University of Iowa before heading to Stanford University for my internal medicine residency and oncology fellowship training. I chose this field to try my best in assisting patients during times of great need, and working to understand what is of greatest importance to them as they navigate their unique journey of cancer care. My clinical focus is in the care of patients with lymphoma and other hematologic cancers. My scholarly interests include better understanding the efficacy cancer therapeutics, improving patients' experience as the proceed through treatment, and promoting strength in medical education.

Andrew Thai Nguyen
Clinical Scholar, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular MedicineBioDr. Andrew Nguyen is a Cardiologist and a Clinical Scholar in the Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology Program. He then completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Stanford University, followed by fellowship training in Cardiovascular Medicine also at Stanford University.
As a non-invasive cardiologist, Dr. Nguyen cares for patients undergoing cancer therapy as well as cancer survivors in the Stanford Health Care Cardio-Oncology Program. He provides evidenced-based cardiovascular care for patients throughout their cancer journey while managing and preventing treatment toxicities. Dr. Nguyen is a physician scientist who is mentored by Dr. Paul Cheng and Dr. Tom Quertermous. His research blends his clinical interest in cardio-oncology with basic science to understand the complex interplay between cancer angiogenesis and ischemic heart disease. He is a recipient of the AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship Award, ACC/Merck Research Fellowship Award, and NIH F32 Award.
