Neetu Saini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy research interests focus on translational human T-cell immunology, with an emphasis on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their therapeutic potential in restoring immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis. I am particularly interested in engineering FOXP3-programmed CD4⁺ T cells as a stable and functional alternative to conventional Tregs, especially in inflammatory settings where endogenous Tregs may be unstable or dysfunctional. My work integrates gene-editing approaches, immunophenotyping, and human organoid systems to study how these engineered cells interact with epithelial and stem cell compartments, with a focus on mechanisms of tissue repair and immune–epithelial crosstalk in barrier tissues such as the intestine. Moving forward, I aim to advance next-generation cell therapies by combining insights from T-cell biology, tissue biology, and disease modeling to develop durable and clinically relevant strategies for treating immune-mediated and epithelial barrier disorders.

Monika Salesh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioI am a researcher in the High Energy Density Science (HEDS) Division at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where I work on high-pressure science using diamond anvil cells (DACs). My research focuses on studying the behavior and properties of materials under extreme pressures and temperatures, with an emphasis on understanding structural and physical transformations under these conditions.
I completed my PhD in Materials Science from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), India, in June 2026. My doctoral research involved advanced materials characterization and the investigation of structure–property relationships using a range of nanoscale and bulk characterization techniques.
At SLAC, I am leveraging my background in materials science and advanced characterization to explore matter under extreme conditions and contribute to a deeper understanding of the physics underlying fusion-related processes.
