Alexander Honeyman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioI study environmental systems—with a particular emphasis on (wild)fire—using a mixture of laboratory, field, and data science approaches. Recent scholarship focuses on toxic metals in wildfire smoke, while past efforts have examined post-fire soil recovery through the lens of microbial ecology. Alongside Scott Fendorf, I co-lead SmokeCast—an applied research effort supported by the Sustainability Accelerator at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. At SmokeCast, we develop (wild)fire smoke toxicity forecasts via hybridization of basic science, novel hardware engineering, and artificial intelligence. My work maintains close collaborations with the fire service—which evolved over 10 years while I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT. I actively maintain my national qualification for wildland firefighting (i.e., “red card”) to facilitate wildfire and smoke research.

Her work covers high-resolution light-based 3D printing, self-adaptive cardiac optogenetics, and multifunctional flexible sensors. With expertise in cleanroom fabrication, semiconductor failure analysis, and finite element modeling, she has contributed to advancing bio-integrated technologies. Her research has been published in journals such as Science Advances and Sensors and Actuators A. Her long-term research goal is to push the boundaries of bioelectronics and soft robotic systems for healthcare applications. -
Yusuke Hori, MD
Instructor, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Hori received his MD from Sapporo Medical University, Japan, and during that time he served as a Medical Student Research Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology. He explored the functional role of the SIRT1 gene, a longevity-associated gene, and its association with various conditions such as muscular dystrophy. He also completed a Visiting Student Research Fellowship at the Health Sciences University of Hokkaido and participated in Human Genetics projects focusing on an association between the 27-bp deletion and 538G>A mutation in the ABCC11 Gene.
After graduating from medical school, Dr. Hori completed a neurosurgery residency at National Hospital Organization Okayama Medical Center in Japan. Subsequently, he completed a Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery Fellowship and then a Neurosurgical Oncology and Radiosurgery Fellowship at The Cleveland Clinic. He also completed an International Neurosurgery Fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. In 2022, he moved to Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow, and under the supervision of Dr. Anca Pasca, he participated in brain organoid research focusing on hypoxic brain injuries.
Since July 2023, Dr. Hori has been working as a Clinical Instructor (Neurosurgical Oncology and Radiosurgery) in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford under the supervision of Dr. Steven D. Chang. His clinical interests include malignant brain and spine tumors in both adult and pediatric patients. His clinical research focuses on the application of minimally invasive treatments such as laser interstitial thermal therapy, focused ultrasound, and radiosurgery to treat various neurosurgical conditions. His current lab research aims to develop an organoid model for radiation-induced brain injuries and a high-throughput screening platform to identify novel therapeutic compounds, for which he received a Clinician Educator Grant from Stanford University Maternal and Child Health Research Institute. Outside of medicine, he enjoys playing music including guitar and drums. -
Belal Hossain
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunology and Rheumatology
BioI have a strong statistical background in analyzing and developing methods with observational and pragmatic clinical trial data. I also have experience in epidemiological and public health research, focusing on infectious and communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, adult health, and maternal & child health research. My current research interests include biostatistics and epidemiology, with a particular focus on causal inference, machine learning, causal inference with machine learning, risk prediction modelling, causal mediation analysis, and complex surveys.

Alyssa Michelle Howren
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioAlyssa Howren is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University’s Department of Epidemiology and Population Health in the School of Medicine. She completed her MSc and PhD training at the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences during which she was a trainee at Arthritis Research Canada. Her PhD training was supported by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Doctoral Award, along with UBC’s Wayne Riggs Interdisciplinary Scholarship in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Andrew Nord Fellowship in Rheumatology. Her research focuses on using multiple data sources to provide evidence to disentangle the complex relationship between depression and anxiety with inflammatory arthritis and assess how people living with inflammatory arthritis are treated for their comorbid mental disorders. Methodological approaches in Dr. Howren’s work have included systematic reviews, qualitative research, mixed methods, and population-based studies using linked administrative health databases. She was awarded a CIHR Fellowship for her postdoctoral research at Stanford University which aims to evaluate whether biases in clinical decision-making contribute to the sex and gender differences observed in the diagnosis of major depressive disorder.

Chia-Hsin Hsu
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioDr. Chia-Hsin (Cindy) Hsu is a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Deshka Foster's laboratory in the Department of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her Ph.D. in Biomedical and Biological Sciences from Cornell University under Dr. Andrew White, where she studied how extracellular matrix remodeling and innate immune crosstalk shape tumor response to targeted therapy in BRAF-mutant melanoma. She previously earned her D.V.M. and M.S. in Veterinary Medicine from National Taiwan University. Dr. Hsu's current research focuses on two projects: developing a sustained-release hydrogel platform for localized JUN inhibition to prevent postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions, a leading cause of bowel obstruction and reoperative morbidity; and investigating stromal–tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) crosstalk in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to define how the tumor microenvironment shapes anti-tumor immunity.
