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.

Mahesh Pandit
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunology and Rheumatology
BioI have completed my PhD in Immunology from Yeungnam University, South Korea. I studied adaptive immune cells especially focusing T cells and its relation to autoimmunity and tumor. I worked on different conditional knockout mice to investigate the cellular mechanisms. Similarly, I worked on disease induced mice to study its preventive and therapeutic approaches. Currently, I am working on Translational immunology as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University department of Immunology and Rheumatology. I focus on Epstein-Barr Virus, B cells and its relation with various autoimmune diseases.

Cara Rada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI develop human brain models to study neurological infection, cancer metastasis, and neurodegeneration. My research focuses on the brain’s blood vessels and brain resident immune cell, microglia, and investigates how alterations in these components of the brain microenvironment can have deleterious effects.

Edwin Omar Rivera-López
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioEdwin Omar Rivera-López is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Bollyky Lab at Stanford University. He earned his dual-title Ph.D. in Food Science and Clinical and Translational Sciences from The Pennsylvania State University under the mentorship of Dr. Edward G. Dudley, where he studied bacteriophage–host interactions in Escherichia coli O157 using functional genomics to identify the genetic determinants of phage adsorption and host defense. His current research focuses on developing phage–antibiotic therapies for the treatment of polymicrobial bacterial infections associated with cystic fibrosis.

Desirée Rodrigues Plaça
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am studying Flaviviridae viruses, focusing on dengue. My research explores T cell and myeloid dysregulation in severe dengue to improve vaccines and identify biomarkers. I'm characterizing T cell responses to DENV, and the regulatory immune response through integrative systems analysis. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and vaccines for pediatric infectious diseases, particularly in endemic regions like Brazil.

Moritz Schaefer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunology and Rheumatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI build AI systems that can be asked a question about biomedical data in plain language and show their work well enough to be checked. CellWhisperer (Nature Biotechnology, 2025) links a million RNA-sequencing profiles to the text describing them, so single-cell data can be explored by asking rather than coding. SpatialWhisperer (ICML 2026) carries this into histopathology. I pair these models with AI agents reasoning across imaging, genomics and the clinic to explain why CAR T therapy fails.

Siddu Shivanagoudra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
BioSiddu Shivanagoudra is a postdoctoral scholar in the Spencer Lab investigating how gut microbiota-derived metabolites modulate intestinal immune signaling and barrier function. He holds an MS in Horticultural Sciences and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University. His work spans tryptophan metabolite biology, AHR/GPR35 signaling, and defined bacterial consortia, integrating cellular, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches. Siddu aims to translate these mechanistic insights into microbiome-targeted therapeutic strategies for inflammatory gut diseases.

Laura van Dam
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunology and Rheumatology
BioI am both trained as a biomedical researcher and medical doctor in internal medicine and strive to close the gap between the clinic and fundamental sciences with translational research. My focus is to study the mechanisms of autoimmune diseases and to translate research insights into therapeutics targeting autoimmunity. I have received my PhD in 2022 in Leiden for studying neutrophil extracellular traps and autoreactive B cells in renal autoimmune diseases. My postdoctoral research project in the Robinson lab focuses on investigating the underlying molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis. I particularly aim to identify potential microbial triggers and molecular mimicry in ANCA-associated vasculitis, by characterizing the nasal microbiome and sequencing T cells and B cells of ANCA-associated vasculitis patients.
