Rose Heald
Masters Student in Translational Research and Applied Medicine, admitted Autumn 2025
BioAs a Master’s student in Translational Research and Applied Medicine at Stanford Medicine, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world clinical impact. My career interests lie at the intersection of science and business, with a focus on advancing the development and implementation of novel therapeutics—particularly in the areas of genetics, rare disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
I bring experience in clinical research, including work on the BabySeq Project, a pioneering study of genomic newborn screening (gNBS). This experience sparked my ongoing interest in how genomic technologies can be implemented to identify actionable health risks early in life. I continue to contribute to this field through my involvement with the International Consortium on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS), a global initiative advancing gNBS research. -
Rachael Healy
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2021
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests: youth, working-class life, colonialism, urban landscapes, intergenerational trauma, (contentious) commemoration, collective memory, time and space/place-making, narrative and storytelling, borderlands, post-conflict space, Northern Ireland/Ireland, political identity, precarity, hope(lessness).
Broadly, my PhD research focuses on youth culture and teenage life in post-conflict Belfast. I am interested in discourses of intergenerational trauma and community spaces and how these are seen as points of relation in a larger communal making-sense of a growing youth mental health crisis in a West Belfast neighbourhood. My research contributed to new understandings about how vernaculars of political violence shift according to new and ever-expanding pressures and priorities in community life and cultural cultivation.
Prior to joining Stanford, I received a first-class honors degree in Global Health and Social Medicine from King’s College London. I also received a Master of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology from the Graduate Institute Geneva. Before attending university, I worked for four years in various health advocacy and youth work roles, including in South Africa and Scotland. -
