Preethy Parthiban
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioMy research centers on how the innate immune system shapes tissue remodeling in health and disease. During my PhD, I uncovered a key role for resident macrophages in driving cardiac fibrosis, identifying a macrophage-derived chemokine that directly activates cardiac fibroblasts. Building on this foundation, my postdoctoral work at Stanford focuses on neutrophil–macrophage crosstalk in disrupted alveolarization in neonatal mice and patients. By integrating cellular, molecular, and translational approaches, I aim to define how innate immune pathways orchestrate extracellular matrix remodeling. Ultimately, my goal is to identify critical therapeutic targets that improve outcomes in ECM-related diseases.

Akshay Paruchuri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI'm currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) lab led by Professor Ehsan Adeli. I earned my PhD in computer science at UNC Chapel Hill under the advisement of Professor Henry Fuchs. My research interests are at the intersection of health AI, computer vision, and machine learning. Currently, I'm working toward a future where next-generation healthcare systems improve the entire patient journey, from advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical support to all-day health monitoring and management, to achieve better therapeutic outcomes for cancer and aging-related diseases. I'm generally interested in opportunities that would allow me to continue to deepen my research expertise while leading and working on projects with meaningful, positive real-world impact, especially with respect to areas such as healthcare and environmental sustainability.
Previously, I was a visiting researcher at IDSIA USI-SUPSI working with Professor Piotr Didyk on the interpretability of multimodal language models (MLMs) with respect to capabilities such as visual perception. I've published in leading venues on topics such as remote health sensing (WACV, NeurIPS), 3D reconstruction (ECCV, MICCAI), LLM-based conversational agents for personal health (EMNLP, Nature Communications), and energy-efficient operation of smart glasses (ISMAR). I've done internships at Google AR/VR, Google Consumer Health Research, and Kitware.
