Edwin Omar Rivera-López
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioEdwin Omar Rivera-López is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Bollyky Lab at Stanford University. He earned his dual-title Ph.D. in Food Science and Clinical and Translational Sciences from The Pennsylvania State University under the mentorship of Dr. Edward G. Dudley, where he studied bacteriophage–host interactions in Escherichia coli O157 using functional genomics to identify the genetic determinants of phage adsorption and host defense. His current research focuses on developing phage–antibiotic therapies for the treatment of polymicrobial bacterial infections associated with cystic fibrosis.

Rafael Rivera Lugo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioRafael Rivera-Lugo is a Stanford Science Fellow postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biology and the ChEM-H Institute at Stanford University, where he works in the laboratory of Christine Jacobs-Wagner. His postdoctoral research focuses on how the Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi establishes infection using novel mouse models to dissect the immune and cellular mechanisms that drive tissue pathology during infection. He is also developing metabolically active, non-replicating bacterial platforms for vaccine applications.
Rafael completed his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, in the laboratory of Daniel A. Portnoy. His doctoral work revealed how the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes acquires and utilizes flavins (riboflavin derivatives) during infection, reshaping our understanding of bacterial metabolism and immune evasion. This work produced multiple high-impact publications in journals including PNAS, eLife, Nature, and mBio, and was recognized with the Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award and the Nicholas Cozzarelli Prize. He received his B.S. in Biology and Biotechnology, Summa Cum Laude, from the University of Puerto Rico at Ponce.
Beyond research, Rafael is deeply committed to expanding access to scientific careers. He has mentored students from historically underserved communities through programs at Stanford and UC Berkeley, co-founded organizations to support peers navigating academic science, and has been a consistent advocate for creating welcoming and rigorous scientific environments for all students. -
Desirée Rodrigues Plaça
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am studying Flaviviridae viruses, focusing on dengue. My research explores T cell and myeloid dysregulation in severe dengue to improve vaccines and identify biomarkers. I'm characterizing T cell responses to DENV, and the regulatory immune response through integrative systems analysis. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and vaccines for pediatric infectious diseases, particularly in endemic regions like Brazil.

Nicolas Roever
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Economics
BioI am a PhD-Student in Economics and experimental researcher. My current interest is studying (1) if we can use AI to deliver psychological interventions at scale and (2) how this changes mental health systems.
