Magdalini Paschali
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on utilizing machine learning models to enhance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical disorders. I am interested in multi-modal learning, combining imaging data like MRI and CT scans with non-imaging data such as electronic health records, creating more holistic and accurate diagnostic models. I am also interested in the robustness of deep neural networks under domain shifts, investigating how models perform when faced with changes in input data distributions.
Finally, I am interested in early biomarker identification using AI model interpretability, to enable the early detection and targeted treatment of chronic disorders. -
Suraj Pavagada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioSuraj Pavagada is a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. His research focuses on exploiting magnetic levitation-based techniques for applications in point-of-care medical diagnostics.
Suraj received his PhD in Oncology from the University of Cambridge (24’), where he developed a new bioelectronic cell enrichment platform utilizing altered glycosylation patterns for the early detection of esophageal cancer. With a background in electrochemistry, surface functionalization, liquid biopsy, and molecular diagnostics, he is passionate about developing portable sensor technologies that can be translated into the clinic to facilitate timely diagnosis and monitoring. -
Edward Pimentel
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioEdward Pimentel is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Prof. Tom Soh. After receiving his BS in Chemistry at BYU and pursuing the total synthesis of a natural product with anticancer activity in the lab of Dr. Merritt Andrus, Edward was the first graduate student in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Martell, where his PhD work centered on using DNA nanostructures to accelerate catalytic reactions and building an ultrahigh-throughput DNA-encoded reaction screening platform. Now as a postdoctoral scholar, his research focuses on applying functional nucleic acids to solve problems in diagnostic and sensing for human health. In addition to his research, Edward is a passionate mentor and has been involved in mentoring programs at every stage of his career. He is now a coordinator for the SURPAS Someone Like Me Peer Mentoring program.

Giovanni Marco Saladino
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. I graduated in Engineering Physics with a BSc at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and an MSc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). In 2024, I obtained my PhD in Biological and Biomedical Physics from the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
My research interests lie at the intersection of molecular imaging, nanomedicine, and nanomaterials. Specifically, I focus on developing novel contrast agents and exploring advanced imaging techniques. During my PhD studies, I designed hybrid multimodal contrast agents for complementary imaging using X-ray fluorescence computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical fluorescence imaging. I am currently involved in investigating theranostic applications of nanomaterials, which hold great promise for personalized medicine and targeted therapies. -
Shailja
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioDr. Shailja is a Postdoctoral researcher in the Radiological Science Laboratory at Stanford. She recently completed her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research vision is to model healthcare data for precise diagnostics using AI and to integrate domain knowledge to "close the loop" between surgeons, physicians, and scientists. Her Ph.D. dissertation focused on developing a principled approach to model the white matter pathways in the human brain to analyze the topology of brain connections. At the Radiological Science Laboratory, she primarily focuses on mapping MRI structural and functional connectivity imaging data with electrophysiological measurements in the epilepsy patients.
