Francisco M. De La Vega
Adjunct Professor, Biomedical Data Science
BioFrancisco De La Vega is a distinguished geneticist and computational biologist, and an experienced technical executive, widely recognized for his expertise in clinical and population genomics, and bioinformatics. Currently serving as the Vice President of Hereditary Disease at Tempus Labs, Francisco is spearheading the development of comprehensive germline genetic tests and conducting innovative research into racial disparities in cancer leveraging Tempus’ multimodal Real-World Data. His work focuses on uncovering the connections between genetic ancestry and cancer genome mutational profiles that may help explain the differences in cancer incidence and outcomes across races and ethnicities. In addition to his role at Tempus Labs, Francisco is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine and is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Society of Computational Biology, serving from 2022 to 2025.
Francisco teaches BIODS-235: "Best practices for developing data science software for clinical and healthcare applications" every Winter quarter. -

Luis de Lecea
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical and Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab uses molecular, optogenetic, anatomical and behavioral methods to identify and manipulate the neuronal circuits underlying brain arousal, with particular attention to sleep and wakefulness transitions. We are also interested in the changes that occur in neuronal circuits in conditions of hyperarousal such as stress and drug addiction.

Luciana de O. Torres
Graduate, Vice Provost and Dean of Research
BioI am a Brazilian judge with nearly a decade of experience in the judiciary, committed to delivering fair, efficient, and well-reasoned decisions within a complex legal system. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in how technology can enhance access to justice and improve institutional performance.
I hold a Master’s degree in Law and Technology from Cornell University, where I deepened my understanding of the intersection between legal systems and emerging technologies. This experience strengthened my commitment to innovation and inspired me to explore practical applications of artificial intelligence in the legal field.
I am now seeking to further advance my knowledge in technology and artificial intelligence in order to develop creative, impactful solutions that address real-world challenges. My goal is to contribute to initiatives that improve people's lives, promote efficiency in public institutions, and expand access to justice through thoughtful and responsible use of technology.
