Tracy Lam-Hine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioTracy Lam-Hine (he/him), DrPH, MBA, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health and the Center for Population Health Sciences, and a T32 trainee in the Division of Endocrinology, Gerontology, and Metabolism. Dr. Lam-Hine is a social and legal epidemiologist, studying how exposure to adverse childhood experiences and policy environments shape the risk of chronic disease and aging outcomes across the life course. Within this broad research area, he has a special focus on the health and social experiences of the US Multiracial population and the measurement of structural racism in policy. Dr. Lam-Hine also collaborates with state and local health jurisdictions in California and Hawaii in applied epidemiology and surveillance projects on topics including structural racism, adolescent health, and COVID-19.

Javier Perez-Garcia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioJavier Perez-Garcia is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. His research has been focused on the integration of multi-omic data (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome) to identify potential biomarkers of treatment response for complex diseases like asthma. His research background includes experience both in molecular biology techniques (e.g., DNA extraction and sequencing libraries preparation) and bioinformatic analyses (e.g., processing of raw omic data, association studies at genomic scale, or multi-omic integration through machine learning and quantitative trait loci analyses). He holds a Ph.D. in Health Sciences and a B.Sc. in Pharmacy from the University of La Laguna (Spain).

Benjamin Seiler
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioBen Seiler is a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of Epidemiology and Population Health at the Stanford School of Medicine, with Mike Baiocchi. He specializes in developing and deploying interpretable statistical learning methods. As part of the Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab (HTDL), Ben currently works on quantitative approaches to issues of labor trafficking and child labor in Brazil in partnership with their Federal Labor Prosecution Office. As part of the Stanford Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab (RegLab), Ben currently works in partnership with the US Internal Revenue Service to study the use of AI to modernize the system for tax collection. He holds a PhD in Statistics from Stanford University, where he was advised by Art B. Owen. Before Stanford, he earned a BA magna cum laude in physics, economics, and mathematics from Williams College. After completing his BA, he worked as a foreign exchange derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs from 2013 to 2018.

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.
