Masako Lien Petty Le-Maciukiewicz, MD, MSc
Affiliate, Pathology Ops Business Office
BioMy current research focuses neurodegenerative and ocular diseases, with an added focus on the unfolded protein response, specifically the PERK pathway. Through my work, I investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying diseases like Alzheimer's and advanced tauopathies, with an emphasis on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.
As I continue to deepen my understanding of disease pathology, I am also pursuing a residency in pathology (ECFMG-Certified, AAMC: 14765627), with a current interest in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Alongside my primary research, I have been involved in a forensic unidentified persons project, applying my skills from my previous graduate studies in forensic science and extensive autopsy experience. Here I further explore my passion for understanding disease processes and the human body through both clinical and investigative perspectives, fueled by empathy and compassion.
Additionally, I volunteer as a crisis counselor and enjoy activities such as traveling and learning languages, Toastmasters, and escape rooms. -
Maayan Levy
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Levy Lab studies how microbiome-brain interactions influence metabolism, behavior, and disease. By investigating how microbial signals affect neural circuits, we explore mechanisms underlying obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric conditions. The lab seeks to uncover new therapeutic targets using advanced neuroscience tools like optogenetics and imaging. Our research aims to improve understanding of how microbiome imbalances contribute to disease and how restoring balance can promote health.

Daniel Dan Liu
Resident in Pathology
BioDaniel received his bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology from Princeton University in 2018, where he conducted research under Dr. Yibin Kang on cancer metastasis and cancer stem cell biology. He then came to Stanford for his MD-PhD training, where he joined the laboratory of Dr. Irv Weissman. His graduate research concerned the prospective isolation of neural stem cells from primary human brain tissue, in development and across lifespan.
Daniel is currently a resident in Anatomic and Neuropathology at Stanford Medicine. -

Avinash Londhe
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Avinash Londhe is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Katrin Svensson’s lab in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University, where he investigates the complex mechanisms linking cancer, metabolism, and obesity. His research focuses on understanding how orphan peptide hormones regulate metabolic pathways and identifying novel receptor-peptide interactions. Driven by a passion for translational science, Dr. Londhe is committed to translating fundamental discoveries into real-world solutions that improve patient outcomes.
During his doctoral training in Dr. Benoit Boivin’s lab at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Londhe gained in-depth expertise in molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders and cancer. His work contributed to the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at metabolic dysfunction. In addition to research, he excelled at managing laboratory operations and mentoring both graduate and undergraduate students, fostering a dynamic and collaborative research environment.
Currently, Dr. Londhe is broadening his research toolkit by integrating bioinformatics, molecular biology, and biophysical techniques into his experimental approaches. His goal is to address critical challenges in cancer metabolism and metabolic diseases through innovative research.
Dr. Londhe aspires to secure a faculty position at a leading university, where he can advance impactful research, mentor emerging scientists, and continue driving scientific innovation. -

Bingwei Lu
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are interested in understanding how neural stem cells balance their self-renewal and differentiation and how deregulation of this process can result in brain tumor. We are also interested in mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases. We are using both Drosophila and mammalian models to address these fundamental questions.

Emma Lundberg
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Pathology
BioDr. Emma Lundberg is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Pathology at Stanford University and serves at the Director of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas initiative in Sweden, where she is also Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. At the intersection of bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence, her research aims to define the spatiotemporal organization of the human proteome at both cellular and subcellular level. Dr. Lundberg aims to develop integrated models of human cells to elucidate how variations in protein localization patterns influence cellular function, ultimately enabling the simulation of cell behavior and a systems-level understanding of how biological information is spatially encoded. The Lundberg Lab is responsible for creating the Subcellular Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database (https://www.proteinatlas.org/). Dr. Lundberg is dedicated to building virtual cell models to simulate cell behavior, and is passionate about engaging the public in her work through citizen science games and computational challenges.
