Susanna Gunamany
Postdoctoral Scholar, Urology
BioDr. Gunamany received her PhD in Public Health from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar. Before her doctoral studies, she earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), India, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Kerala.
Dr. Gunamany's scholarly pursuits revolve around the convergence of health and technology, with a specific emphasis on mobile health (mHealth) and its potential for improving healthcare delivery and access. Broadening her research scope, she is interested in health disparities and inequalities research, focusing on marginalized populations and the intricate interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors influencing health outcomes. -
Pankaj Gupta
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioPankaj Gupta is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University working at the intersection of systems neuroscience, neuroengineering, and computational modeling. His research focuses on understanding how distributed neural circuits generate behavior and how these circuits reorganize during learning and recovery, particularly in the context of motor control and neurological disorders such as stroke.
Pankaj completed his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia, where he investigated brain–behavior dynamics using widefield and two-photon calcium imaging in mice. His work combined experimental neuroscience with real-time closed-loop systems, enabling the modulation of neural activity through behaviorally contingent feedback. He also developed computational tools and biologically inspired recurrent neural network models to capture large-scale neural dynamics and inter-regional interactions.
At Stanford, his research expands to include large-scale electrophysiology using Neuropixels probes to study cerebellar and subcortical circuits involved in motor control and recovery. He is particularly interested in how neural populations across multiple brain regions coordinate and adapt following injury, and how these insights can inform the design of closed-loop neurostimulation and brain–machine interface systems. -
Shreya Gupta
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a biomedical researcher focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) behavior in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. My work investigates how signaling pathways, including Notch3 and Thrombospondin-1, regulate SMC phenotypic switching, fibrous cap stability, and plaque vulnerability in atherosclerosis, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
