Fateme (Fatima) Nateghi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioAs a postdoc researcher at the Division of Computational Medicine, I find myself at the exciting intersection of machine learning and healthcare. My journey began with a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven in Belgium, where I explored the complexities of machine learning algorithms and their transformative potential in clinical settings. My research focused on adapting these algorithms for time-to-event data, a method used to predict when specific events may occur in a patient’s future.
At Stanford, my work centers on building trustworthy AI systems to enhance healthcare delivery. I develop and evaluate machine learning models that integrate structured electronic health records (EHRs) and unstructured clinical notes to support real-world clinical decision-making. My recent projects include predicting treatment retention in opioid use disorder, improving antibiotic stewardship for urinary tract infections, and enabling digital consultations through large language models (LLMs). I'm particularly interested in embedding-based retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods that help bridge cutting-edge AI research with clinical practice.
My role involves not just advancing the integration of machine learning in healthcare but also collaborating with a diverse team of clinicians, data scientists, and engineers. Together, we're striving to unravel complex healthcare challenges and ultimately improve patient outcomes. -

Vaidehi Natu
Physical Sci Res Scientist
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Vaidehi Natu is a developmental neuroscientist. Her research program aims to study how the human brain matures from infancy to adulthood, as it acquires new life skills and behaviors: What are the origins of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain development during infancy? How does the trajectory of neural mechanisms unfold during development, as school-aged children acquire complex skills such as reading or face recognition? What are some of the parallels in brain development across primate species? What changes occur in the brain in developmental disorders such as autism, multiple sclerosis, and dyslexia?
She uses a multi-modal approach by combining various neuroimaging techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), quantitative MRI (qMRI), and diffusion MRI (dMRI) as well as behavioral observations, histology, comparative methods across humans and macaques, and intracranial electroencephalography. Combining complementary techniques provides a unified understanding of how the brain’s anatomy, function, and behavior co-develop to achieve complex human skills. -
Shaghayegh Navabpour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research investigates how genetic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic mechanisms shape brain function and contribute to psychiatric disorders, with a special focus on PTSD. By combining large-scale human genomic data with molecular neuroscience approaches, I aim to identify cell-type-specific pathways and therapeutic targets that advance our understanding and treatment of mental health conditions.

Manchula Navaratnam
Clinical Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Manchula Navaratnam is a Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine at Stanford University, specializing in Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia. With over 16 years of expertise in the perioperative care of pediatric patients with complex cardiac conditions, Dr. Navaratnam serves as the anesthesiology lead for pediatric cardiac transplantation, ventricular assist devices, single ventricle physiology and perioperative hemostasis management.
Dr. Navaratnam’s research includes pivotal work on left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VTI) as a measure of ventricular function, now widely utilized at Stanford Children’s Hospital. Dr Navaratnam has led multidisciplinary clinical studies to improve care for single ventricle physiology patients, developed standardized pathways for perioperative hemostasis management, and recently contributed to an FDA-funded multicenter trial investigating pulse oximetry accuracy in congenital heart disease patients with darker skin tones.
As a dedicated mentor and educator, Dr. Navaratnam founded and directs the Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Learning (PCAL) workshop for fellows nationwide and leads Stanford’s undergraduate course, “Mending a Broken Heart.” Dr Navaratnam's mentorship has supported numerous trainees and collaborators, resulting in award-winning presentations and impactful research contributions.
