Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI design and drive studies using wearables that combine modelling, data analysis and software development to address problems that limit human performance.
I have with a particular interest in female health, and work to translate findings into practical solutions. -
Seraphine Kamayirese
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a protein and peptide biochemist with a focus on biophysical characterization, structural activity relationship (SAR)study, and design and optimization of peptides targeting disease-relevant proteins. My Ph.D. research focused on designing and optimizing ligands that target the 14-3-3ε protein to disrupt its interaction with the cell cycle regulator CDC25A, an interaction known to suppress apoptosis in squamous cell carcinoma. Inhibiting this pathway is expected to promote apoptosis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. At Stanford University, I am expanding my research to study antimicrobial peptidoids and peptides such as LL-37 and their interactions with amyloid beta peptides, and the potential application of the resulting complexes as antiviral therapeutics. I bring strong experience in rational peptide design, structural activity relationship studies, molecular dynamics simulations, peptides and peptoids synthesis and purification, protein expression, and biophysical assays. My research has led to multiple peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national and international conferences, and awards, including the Young Investigator Poster Award at the American Peptide Symposium.

Amit Kaushal
Adjunct Professor, Bioengineering
BioDr. Kaushal is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University. He is a respected internal medicine physician with expertise in applications of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to medicine and public health. He has worked in roles ranging from deeply technical to deeply clinical, in both academia and industry.
Dr. Kaushal brings over 20 years of research experience at the intersection of computer science and biomedicine. His work focuses on taking AI/ML applications from concept all the way through live clinical deployment, with attention to fair and ethical use of AI. His work has been featured in JAMA, Nature, Lancet Digital Health, NEJM AI, NEJM Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery, Nature npj Digital Medicine, JAMA Network Open, Health Affairs Blog, and others; and he has been covered in popular media outlets such as Scientific American, Wired, STAT News, The Verge, LA Times, and more.
Dr. Kaushal launched Stanford University School of Engineering's undergraduate degree program in Biomedical Computation over 20 years ago; he serves as co-director of the major, which has graduated over 150 students since its founding. He is a faculty in the Stanford Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Stanford Clinical Excellence Research Center, and Stanford Partnership for AI-Assisted Care.
Dr. Kaushal practices hospital medicine at VA Palo Alto, where he also serves as inaugural Director of the Amplified Reach Catalyst (ARC) Program, an embedded research-support infrastructure for VA hospitalist clinicians.
Dr. Kaushal has served in executive, operating, and advisory roles in industry.
Dr. Kaushal is board certified in both internal medicine and clinical informatics. He completed his BS (Biomedical Computation), MD, PhD (Biomedical Informatics) and Internal Medicine residency training all at Stanford University.
