Okikiola Morenike Olajide
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioOkikiola M. Olajide, PhD is a molecular virologist and emerging structural biologist specializing in HIV-1 vaccine research. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Barnes Lab at Stanford University, Dr. Olajide focuses on designing HIV-1 immunogens that elicit silent face-targeting broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and developing innovative HIV infection models using human spleen organoids. Her research aims to bridge the gap between promising preclinical immunogens and their effectiveness in human clinical trials, advancing the path toward more effective HIV vaccines. Dr. Olajide earned her PhD in Biology from Albert Ludwigs University, Freiburg, where she investigated protein-protein interactions crucial for viral entry in bat influenza A viruses, pioneering approaches such as photo-affinity protein crosslinking and genetic code expansion. She also holds an MSc in Medical Virology from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, where she studied the role of cockroaches in the dissemination and sustained transmission of live-attenuated oral polio vaccine virus. During her BSc in Microbiology at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, she uncovered an ongoing rubella outbreak among at-risk, unvaccinated pregnant women. A strong advocate for advancing research in developing regions, Dr. Olajide actively supports training initiatives for scientists in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her commitment to mentorship, shaped by her experiences as an international scholar, drives her to guide the next generation of researchers in making meaningful scientific contributions.

Julian Olaya Restrepo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioJulián’s (he\his) research seeks to understand and strengthen the relationships between marine ecosystems, the communities that depend on them, and the policies that shape their management. Positioned at the intersection of ecology, spatial analysis, and social science, his work produces actionable insights to support the conservation and sustainable governance of marine systems. He approaches the ocean as a socioecological system—an integrated network where natural and human components co-evolve—and applies a transdisciplinary lens to address urgent global challenges, including biodiversity loss, fisheries collapse, and climate change. At Stanford University, he has led research on nature-based solutions, developing spatially explicit fishery models that assess how coral reef and mangrove restoration can enhance ecological resilience and improve fisheries outcomes for coastal communities across the Caribbean and U.S.

BioSara Pardej earned her BA in Psychology and BS in Cognitive Science at Marquette University. Afterwards, she attended the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee under the mentorship of Dr. Bonita P. Klein-Tasman, where she earned both her MS and PhD in Clinical Psychology. There, she worked on several studies focusing on youth with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), including behavioral phenotyping work, psychometric studies, and a social skills intervention study. Her dissertation study, which was funded by a Young Investigator Award from the Children's Tumor Foundation, focused on examining event related potentials using EEG by comparing children with NF1 to children with idiopathic ADHD and unaffected children. She completed her Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pennsylvania. While at Penn State, she also worked on research examining safety and psychopathology in youth with ADHD and/or autism. Her clinical interest is neuropsychology, and her research interests include issues of psychometrics, behavioral phenotyping, and the neuropsychological development (and subsequent areas of intervention) of individuals with NF1 across the lifespan.
