Denise M. Monack
Martha Meier Weiland Professor in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe primary focus of my research is to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms of intracellular bacterial pathogenesis. We use several model systems to study complex host-pathogen interactions in the gut and in immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Ultimately we would like to understand how Salmonella persists within certain hosts for years in the face of a robust immune response.

Samsuzzoha Mondal
Research Assoc-Experimental, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioSamsuzzoha Modal is a Research Associate at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a Ph.D. chemist specializing in advanced microscopy and biophysical chemistry. His research integrates protein engineering, structural biology, and quantitative imaging to understand how protein organization across length scales regulates biological activity, and to translate these mechanistic insights into therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
Samsuzzoha earned his Ph.D. at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (Mumbai, India), where he developed chemical tools to image signaling phospholipid dynamics in live biological systems. He then completed postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), building in vitro reconstitution models to study the molecular basis of membrane trafficking. Since 2023 at SLAC, he has been combining X‑ray crystallography, small‑angle X‑ray scattering, and advanced optical methods to uncover design principles for quantum biosensing tools and to support structure‑guided small‑molecule therapeutic development.
A committed educator and mentor, Samsuzzoha has taught bioanalytical chemistry and led diverse student teams, emphasizing inclusive, hands‑on training, reproducible data practices, and translational problem‑solving. -

Aurelie Montagne
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesBioDr. Aurélie Montagne is a psychiatrist whose work centers on psychotherapy, systemic approaches to care, and the organization of psychiatric services. Throughout her training, she has developed advanced expertise across multiple psychotherapy modalities, with a particular interest in group-based interventions. Her research has explored innovative models of care delivery, including teletherapy for complex trauma.
In parallel with her clinical and scholarly work, Dr. Montagne has pursued additional training and supervision in systemic and relational approaches to psychiatry. Her work in this area emphasizes the integration of interpersonal and contextual factors into psychiatric formulation and care.
Dr. Montagne has also been actively engaged in medical education and leadership. She has been a dedicated teacher of medical students and residents and has held leadership roles aimed at strengthening undergraduate psychiatric education. Her clinical expertise extends to day hospital (partial hospitalization) programs, where she integrates psychotherapy, group-based care, and systemic thinking into program development and delivery.

Samuel Montalvo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioAs a clinical exercise physiologist and sport biomechanist, I am dedicated to advancing human exercise and sports performance. I hold certifications as a Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS) and as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction (CSCS, *D) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In 2022, I was honored with the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship and a T32 Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Research Training in Myocardial Biology (TIMBS) at Stanford University.
My research focuses on understanding the mechanical, molecular, and physiological mechanisms that underpin human performance. I am also committed to developing innovative and practical training methods to enhance exercise and sports performance. Currently, I am a member of the Stanford Bioinformatics Core, contributing to the NIH-funded Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) project. In this capacity, I analyze extensive clinical and exercise datasets, as well as multi-omic, multi-tissue, multi-exercise modality, and multi-species data, to uncover new insights into the biological mechanisms of physical activity and its impact on human health and performance.
In addition to my primary research focus, I collaborate with several teams at Stanford on projects involving Sports and Electrocardiography, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, Exercise and Neuromuscular Disease, and the Stanford Baseball Team.
Beyond research, I am deeply committed to teaching and mentoring. As a first-generation college graduate and a Mexican-American with Indigenous heritage, I bring a unique perspective to my work, which informs my dedication to creating supportive and inclusive spaces for underrepresented groups in science and education. I serve as a Post-Doc Mentoring Coach in collaboration with the Stanford Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, where I facilitate bi-weekly workshops on mentoring for postdocs. I am also part of the Stanford PRISM program, which promotes opportunities for postdoctoral scholars. Furthermore, I mentor prospective and current medical students through the MAVERICs program (Metascience Analyses and Explorations of Reproducibility in Cardiovascular Science) as part of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, supporting their growth in cardiovascular research.
These experiences reflect my dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive academic environment. My long-term goal is to become a professor, combining my passion for research, education, and mentoring the next generation of scientists to advance the fields of exercise physiology, multi-omics, and sports science. -
