Priscila Chiavellini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Reproductive Biology
BioI am passionate about the underlying biological mechanisms of development occurring from birth to death. To my mind, one of the most significant promises of this science lies in understanding those mechanisms to improve the quality of life of young and old people. In my country Argentina, I pursued my doctoral degree in cell reprogramming to implement rejuvenation in aging rodents by restoring their biological age. The aim was to partially reprogram the nervous system using an adenovirus to revert age-associated memory impairment in old rats.
Dr. Sebastiano´s lab has developed powerful tools in the reprogramming and rejuvenation field. I have joined them to apply those techniques to delay ovarian aging with the ultimate goal of extending fertility and healthy aging. -
Christina F. Chick
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research examines the mechanistic contributions of sleep, cognition and affect to the onset and course of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in adolescence as a period during which changes in circadian rhythm, sleep architecture, and sleep behavior co-occur with neuroendocrine development, psychosocial changes, and the onset of many psychiatric disorders. Given that sleep is a highly treatable target, increasing our understanding of the specific contributions of sleep to psychiatric symptom onset may facilitate the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the course of illness.

Jennifer Chien
Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioJennifer Chien earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego, and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Wellesley College. They were a recipient of the Graduate Fellowship for STEM Diversity. Jennifer is an interdisciplinary researcher focused on preserving user agency across AI/ML pipelines by linking technical decisions with their social consequences. Their work connects technical decisions with social and societal consequences to characterize, measure, and mitigate disparities in autonomy and support safer, more responsible AI. This includes exploring instrumental, cognitive and affective, and epistemic forms of agency. At UCSD, they served as President of Graduate Women in Computing, leading mentorship, outreach, and community-building initiatives and received the Doctoral Awards for Contributions to Diversity and to Service and Leadership, as well as the Xilinx Women in Technology University Grant. Jennifer is currently an Embedded Ethics Fellow in partnership with HAI and the Computer Science department.

Ani Chiti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
BioI am a Brinson Prize Fellow at Stanford University, primarily interested in the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the formation of heavy elements, the early Milky Way, and local dynamical tracers of dark matter. I observe and characterize nearby stars and galaxies that formed at early times to understand these topics, in an approach known as "Near-field cosmology" or "Galactic archaeology".
Before joining Stanford, I was the inaugural Brinson Prize Fellow in Observational Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. I obtained a PhD in Physics from MIT in 2021, and received bachelor's degrees in Physics and Mathematics from Cornell University in 2014. -
Woongbi Cho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioWoongbi Cho is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering from Inha University in February 2019 , and his Ph.D. in Organic and Nano Engineering from Hanyang University in February 2025. His doctoral research focused on developing next-generation polymer composites, emphasizing processing-structure-property-performance (PSPP) relationships in liquid crystalline and sulfur-rich polymers. Currently, Woongbi's research interests center on adaptive materials, electromagnetically (EM)-driven soft robotics, polymer assembly mechanisms, and active metamaterials for applications in soft robotics, optoelectronics, and energy harvesting.

Andrea Cipriano
Instructor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Reproductive Biology
BioDr Andrea Cipriano is an instructor at the Stem Cell Institute and at the Ob/Gyn department at Stanford School of medicine. Since the beginning of his career he was driven by a deep interest in the complexities of life emerging from just a single cell, harboring all the instructions to produce a fully functional organism. His academic journey began with a Bachelor's in Biotechnology and progressed to a Master's in Genomic Biotechnology, where he delved into the intricate world of RNA. During his PhD, Andrea focused on long non-coding RNAs and their pivotal role in cell differentiation, a topic that continues to fascinate him in his current research. He works in the Sebastiano lab, and he is directing several projects, including studying the transcription factor TBX1 during development of the Pharyngeal endoderm, and exploring the impact of time on Chromatin Structure, particularly in the context of aging and its potential reversal. As an instructor, Andrea has been teaching for 4 years at the intensive CIRM stem cell class biology course. Teaching is a big passion that fuels his academic pursuits. His dedication to education stems from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of knowledge, which is what initially propelled him into the academic world.

Bernard Mawuli Cobbinah
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioCobbinah Bernard Mawuli is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, School of Medicine. He is passionate about the intersection of AI and medicine, focusing on developing robust and effective approaches for preventive and predictive healthcare. His research aims to deepen the understanding of high-dimensional multi-omics medical data using advanced machine learning techniques. By exploring innovative ways to analyze this data, his work contributes to improved treatments and enhanced patient care. Through the analysis of large patient datasets, his goal is to create tools that empower clinicians to make more informed decisions, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for all.
Prior to joining Stanford, he pioneered robust federated learning techniques for evolving data streams and developed methods to reduce multi-center MRI variability in diagnosing brain disorders. -

Marimar Contreras Nieves
Clinical Scholar, Medicine - Nephrology
Postdoctoral Scholar, NephrologyBioI am currently in my second year of nephrology fellowship, working on a Masters in clinical research and epidemiology, and also doing postdoctoral research on a U2C-TL1. During my training I have worked on clinical research focused on environmental risk factors and health care barriers that can initiate or accelerate the development and progression of kidney disease. My goal is to reach disadvantaged populations and help reduce the gaps in health that may stem from their vulnerability to determinantal environmental exposures. My projects have included investigating chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology, with particular interest in California’s Central Valley.
