    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current focus lies in analyzing bedside monitoring waveforms and electronic health record data to understand their correlations with adverse conditions in premature infants, and to explore effective solutions that can enhance the outcomes for these vulnerable patients.

  • Kelly H. Yoo, MD, PhD

    Kelly H. Yoo, MD, PhD

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery

    BioDr. Kelly H. Yoo is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University, specializing in innovative therapeutic strategies for neurosurgical pathologies. She earned her M.D. and Ph.D. from Heidelberg University School of Medicine, where her doctoral research focused on combining CAR T cell immunotherapy with ibrutinib and a reactive oxygen species accelerator, PipFcB, for hematologic malignancies. Graduating in the top 1% of her class, Dr. Yoo was recruited early for her residency in neurosurgery, where she honed her expertise in the interdisciplinary application of combinatorial treatment strategies.

    Building on the knowledge she gained during her doctoral training, she worked to integrate CAR T cell therapy with bevacizumab, temozolomide chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for neurosurgical patients with primary and recurrent glioblastoma. As part of the clinician-scientist track, Dr. Yoo has completed several certifications, including Good Clinical Practice, the Principal Investigators Course, the Clinical Trial Investigators Course, and the Munich Investigators Course. These experiences have equipped her to design translational research that effectively bridges the gap between bench and bedside.

    Recognized as a top 0.1% resident by the Baden-Württemberg Medical Association for her exceptional clinical and research performance, Dr. Yoo joined the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University to advance her career through a postdoctoral fellowship.

  • Astrid Nicole Zamora

    Astrid Nicole Zamora

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology

    BioDr. Astrid N. Zamora is a public health researcher and epidemiologist committed to advancing health equity. Her research combines birth cohort data, formative methods (e.g., interviews, ethnography), and behavioral intervention data to investigate health disparities and develop targeted interventions, focusing on Latino/a populations in the U.S. and Mexico. Dr. Zamora’s work explores how environmental exposures, diet, physical activity, and sleep interact to shape psychosocial and cardiometabolic health across the life course. Dr. Zamora is also actively engaged in public health pedagogy, researching equity-focused teaching practices and strategies for fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments for public health students.

    After earning her MPH at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, Dr. Zamora completed her PhD at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her NIH/NIEHS-funded dissertation examined the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure on sleep health and metabolic risk among adolescents and peri-menopausal women in Mexico City, focusing on populations at high risk for health inequities. This work contributed to the growing understanding of how environmental factors affect sleep quality and their implications for long-term metabolic health.

    Currently, as a Propel Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Zamora is expanding her expertise in randomized controlled trial (RCT) study design and citizen science methodologies. Her work aims to integrate epidemiologic training with community-based research, aligning her scientific agenda with the priorities of the communities she serves. Dr. Zamora’s research seeks to illuminate how diet, sleep, the built environment, and physical activity intersect to influence health outcomes, with the ultimate goal of reducing health disparities and supporting marginalized communities through actionable and equitable public health solutions.
