Kevin Lesperance
Postdoctoral Scholar, Urology
BioDr. Kevin L’Esperance is a cancer epidemiologist who focuses on the interplay between adiposity, lifestyle, and social drivers of health in kidney and ovarian cancer risk, prevention, and survivorship. His work involves patients, clinicians, and population-level perspectives to improve health literacy, integrate lived experiences, and enhance cancer care and management. In parallel, Dr. L’Esperance is actively engaged in science communication, working to raise awareness about cancer and shift the narrative from fatalism to empowerment and actionable change.

Magdalena Ladrón de Guevara
Postdoctoral Scholar, Reproductive Biology
BioMagdalena Ladrón de Guevara is a postdoctoral scholar in reproductive biology whose research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving early human embryo implantation and trophoblast behavior. Her work integrates single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, live imaging, CRISPR-based functional genomics, and genome editing to explore embryo–maternal interactions within the implantation niche.
Originally trained as a veterinarian in Argentina, Magdalena earned a master’s in Animal Genetics and Reproductive Biotechnology in Spain and completed her Ph.D. in Reproductive and Developmental Biology at the Università degli Studi di Milano as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie EUROVA network. Her experience spans both veterinary and human assisted reproduction, with deep expertise in embryo culture, oocyte maturation, gene regulation, genome editing, and the generation of genetically engineered mouse models. She brings a translational perspective to developmental biology and fertility research. -
Mauro Lago Docampo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have always been fascinated by the process of genetic penetrance, how two people can carry the same mutation but only one of them may be affected.
My main project focuses on understanding the role of TBX4 in the development of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Mutations in this gene are related to very different diseases. In my research, I mix cellular models, gene editing, and high throughput assays to find the determinants of penetrance in the development of PAH under these conditions. -
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, a Research Education Component Fellow at the Stanford Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, and is affiliated via a Research Fellowship with the Temple University Center for Public Health Law Research. Dr. Lam-Hine is a social epidemiologist and population health scientist, studying how exposure to adverse childhood experiences, policy environments, and mid-life chronic disease burden shape the risk cognitive and functional aging in later life. Within this broad research area, he has a special focus on the health and social experiences of the US Multiracial population, surveillance data, methods to improve descriptive and population-generalizable research.
