Daiana Fornes
Life Science Research Professional 3, Obstetrics Anesthesiology
BioDaiana Fornes is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, supported by a Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI) Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her research centers on reproductive biology and pregnancy disorders, with a particular focus on uterine contractility, preterm labor, and uterine atony. She investigates calcium signaling pathways, including the role of TRPV4 ion channels, to identify novel therapeutic strategies aimed at improving maternal health outcomes.
Daiana earned her PhD from the University of Buenos Aires, where she studied metabolic alterations during pregnancy and their effects on fetal development. Her training has provided her with a strong foundation in translational research, with extensive experience in experimental design, molecular biology, and the analysis of signaling pathways. -
Ines Forrest
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford Cancer Institute
BioI completed a dual Master's Degree in Chemistry/Biochemistry (University of Oklahoma) and Organic Chemistry/Chemical Engineering (Sigma-Clermont), as well as a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Sciences (The Scripps Research Institute). As a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford in Prof. Nathanael Gray's lab, I look forward to applying my skills in chemical proteomics, chemistry, and molecular biology to drive impactful research at the interface of chemistry and medicine and develop pioneering solutions to improve human health.

Karin Forssell
Senior Lecturer of Education
BioDr. Karin Forssell is the director of the Learning Design and Technology (LDT) master's program and a Senior Lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. In her courses, students learn to use research from the learning sciences and learning-centered design processes to create effective digital tools. Dr. Forssell also directs the GSE Makery, a Stanford maker space where students and faculty learn to make, and make to learn, as well as the AI Tinkery, a sandbox for educators. Her current interests include hands-on learning, teacher technology adoption, and the potential for AI to support ethical and effective learning experiences.
Dr. Forssell draws insights from her many years of concurrent work as a teacher on special assignment for technology in the Palo Alto Unified School District. Dr. Forssell earned her BA in Linguistics, MA in Education, and PhD in Learning Sciences and Technology Design at Stanford University.
