  • Rabeya Tus Sadia

    Rabeya Tus Sadia

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology

    BioI am currently working on multimodal and multitask foundation models for cancer detection and surgical video analysis. My research focuses on medical image and video segmentation, MRI and ultrasound analysis, foundation models, reinforcement learning, and AI agents. My broader research spans generative modeling, causal machine learning, multimodal learning, large language models, state-space models, spatial and single-cell omics, structured data analysis, and trustworthy artificial intelligence. My goal is to develop clinically meaningful, interpretable, fair, and reliable AI methods for real-world biomedical and healthcare applications.

  • Triya Saha

    Triya Saha

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology

    BioDr. Triya Saha is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, Department of Radiology, specializing in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, therapeutic delivery, and translational biomedical engineering. Dr. Saha earned her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and Bioengineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, where her doctoral research focused on developing clinically relevant bioengineered therapeutic platforms for chronic fatty liver disease. Her research involved the development of 3D bioprinted hepatic patches and sprayable bioadhesive hydrogels for targeted delivery of stem cell-derived exosomes, with a focus on tissue regeneration, immunomodulation, fibrosis reversal, and gut-liver crosstalk. Her expertise includes biomaterial design, 3D bioprinting, hydrogel engineering, exosome-based therapeutics, in vitro and in vivo disease models, and translational regenerative medicine.

  • Giovanni Marco Saladino

    Giovanni Marco Saladino

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology

    BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. I graduated in Engineering Physics with a BSc at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and an MSc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). In 2024, I obtained my PhD in Biological and Biomedical Physics from the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

    My research interests lie at the intersection of molecular imaging, nanomedicine, and nanomaterials. Specifically, I focus on developing novel contrast agents and exploring advanced imaging techniques. During my PhD studies, I designed hybrid multimodal contrast agents for complementary imaging using X-ray fluorescence computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical fluorescence imaging. I am currently involved in investigating theranostic applications of nanomaterials, which hold great promise for personalized medicine and targeted therapies.

  • Alexander J Salerno

    Alexander J Salerno

    Affiliate, Rad/Neuroimaging and Neurointervention
    Visiting Scholar, Rad/Neuroimaging and Neurointervention

    BioDr. Alexander Salerno is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. As a neurologist and stroke specialist, he is dedicated to advancing neuroimaging technologies and directly improving clinical care for patients with cerebrovascular disease. His research in the Heit Lab focuses on the clinical and radiological evaluation of patients with acute ischemic stroke, with a special emphasis on posterior circulation stroke management. He will develop pipelines that refine prognostic models using multimodal imaging to help guide acute treatment decisions.


    Dr. Salerno earned his MD at the University of Genoa, Italy, followed by his neurology residency, an MD-PhD in cerebrovascular disease, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Stroke Center of Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland. At Lausanne, he also holds a faculty appointment as Reader and Clinical Faculty (MERc-PD). An effective catalyst for collaborative research with a strong clinical research background, he actively coordinates international multicenter collaborations and helps establish large-scale, federated data-sharing networks for international stroke registries. Alongside his research, he is dedicated to medical education and enjoys finding engaging ways to teach clinical neurology.


    Fun fact: when he is not analyzing brain scans or asking patients to repeat "No ifs, ands, or buts," Alexander is a passionate marine aquarist who loves aquascaping miniature coral reefs right in his living room. An avid traveler with a creative eye for designing scientific illustrations, he also enjoys unwinding by cooking authentic Italian cuisine.
