Praneeta R. Konduri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Konduri is a Postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences. With a background in biomedical engineering, she conducted her PhD research as part of a European consortium that developed computational stroke models, while also analyzing post-treatment brain tissue damage from multicenter clinical trials to assess prognosis. After completing her PhD, she continued as a Postdoctoral Researcher within the European consortium GEMINI, that aimed to implement digital twins for personalized stroke treatment. At the Stanford Stroke Center, she now focusses on developing AI tools for stroke diagnosis, treatment evaluation, prognostication, and personalized treatment development.

JT Kong
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Jiang-Ti Kong specializes in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes with expertise in the clinical management and scientific investigation of low back pain and fibromyalgia. In addition to teaching and practicing conventional pain management, Dr. Kong also leads the acupuncture service at the Stanford Pain Management Center, offering effective treatment alternatives for patients suffering from back pain, neck pain, joint pain, headaches, and complex regional pain syndrome. Dr. Kong has developed a strong interest in the interdisciplinary study of chronic pain mechanisms and alternative treatment modalities such as acupuncture. She currently leads two NIH-funded projects investigating the mechanisms of electro-acupuncture for the treatment of chronic low back pain.

Qinqin Kong
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioI am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Departments of Medicine and Health Policy at Stanford University, after earning a PhD in atmospheric science from Purdue University. My research interests lie at the intersection of climate change—particularly extreme heat—and human society. I aim to advance our understanding of the physical mechanisms, cascading impacts, and the effectiveness of potential mitigation strategies for human heat stress. My PhD research focused on how land-atmosphere interactions modulate heat stress, as well as the economic and energy impacts of increasing heat stress in the context of climate change. My postdoctoral research at Stanford evaluates the impact of heat stress on public health, especially human fertility, in low- and middle-income countries. My methodological areas of expertise include climate modeling, human biophysics modeling, and econometric modeling, which I am further developing at Stanford.

Alexandra Konings
Associate Professor of Earth System Science, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and, by courtesy, of Geophysics
BioAlexandra Konings leads the Remote Sensing Ecohydrology group, which studies interactions between the global carbon and water cycles. That is, her research studies how changes in hydrological conditions change ecosystems, and how this in turn feeds back to weather and climate. These interactions include studies of transpiration and root water uptake, photosynthesis, mortality, and fire processes, among others. To address these topics, the groups primarily uses the tools of model development and remote sensing (satellite) data, especially microwave remote sensing data of vegetation water content. Alex believes that a deep understanding of remote sensing techniques and how they can be used to create environmental datasets enables new opportunities for scientific insight and vice versa.

Naoki Konno
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioNaoki has extensive training in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics, and he thrives in interdisciplinary environments bridging computation and developmental biology. After earning his BSc. and MSc. in Systems Biology and Bioinformatics at the University of Tokyo, Naoki pursued a PhD in Evolutionary Biology under the supervision by Prof. Chikara Furusawa. He has developed computational frameworks to reconstruct and predict evolutionary processes, including large-scale phylogenetic inference for both evolution and cell lineage tracing (FRACTAL) and predictive models of microbial genome evolution (Evodictor). His work revealed generalizable rules of genome evolution and was recognized with multiple awards, including the JSPS Ikushi Prize.
Currently, Naoki is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the lab of Prof. Xiaojie Qiu at Stanford University School of Medicine. In his postdoctoral research, he investigates the evolutionary constraints of vertebrate development with a focus on the heart as a model system. By integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with predictive modeling and CRISPR-based perturbations, he seeks to uncover how evolutionary principles shape developmental trajectories and contribute to congenital heart defects. Ultimately, Naoki aims to establish a broad research program in evolution-aware medicine, connecting evolutionary theory with biomedical challenges. -
