Alisa Mueller, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
BioDr. Mueller is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology. As a physician-scientist, she leads a research laboratory investigating mechanisms that drive stromal pathology in rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Utilizing innovative techniques in immunology, genomics, and regenerative medicine, she and her team aim to develop novel therapeutic approaches to combat autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Mueller earned her MD and PhD degrees at Stanford University as part of the Medical Scientist Training Program where she investigated mechanisms regulating a mesenchymal progenitor population in skeletal muscle that mediates both healthy tissue regeneration and pathologic fibrosis. During her training, she was awarded predoctoral grants from the NIH National Institute on Aging and the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. Her studies culminated in a first-author publication in Nature and co-authorship on publications in Cell and Nature Communications. Subsequently, she pursued medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School where she explored mechanisms driving synovial fibroblast pathogenicity in rheumatoid arthritis. Her work led to the identification of non-canonical Wnt signaling as a critical mediator of RA synovial fibroblast inflammatory activation as well as the development of functional genomic screens to elucidate a broad set of novel therapeutic targets in inflammatory fibroblasts. Moreover, she has also led high-dimensional immunoprofiling studies to reveal underlying immune aberrations in patients with systemic sclerosis and elucidate biologic mechanisms catalyzing disease in patients with longstanding immune-related disorders of unknown etiology in partnership with the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. During her fellowship and instructorship, she received a Distinguished Fellow Award from the American College of Rheumatology as well as grants including the NIH NIAMS Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08), Rheumatology Research Foundation Scientist Development Award with the Malawista Endowment Distinction, Hearst Young Investigator Award, and Innovation Evergreen Fund Award. Her work has resulted in co-first author publications in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cell Reports Medicine, and ACR Open Rheumatology as well as as co-authorship on publications in Lancet Rheumatology and the New England Journal of Medicine.
In addition to her scientific endeavors, Dr. Mueller is also dedicated to providing high quality clinical care and education. She serves as an attending physician specializing in rheumatology where she mentors trainees in outpatient and inpatient settings and provides educational lectures. With an interdisciplinary team, she developed an interactive medical case on neurologic manifestations of lupus which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. She was awarded an Arnold Dunne Award for Compassion and Dedication to Patient Care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. By pursuing basic and translational research alongside clinical care, Dr. Mueller and her team strive to uncover basic mechanisms regulating stromal biology in autoimmune and inflammatory disease development and to create diagnostic strategies and targeted therapeutics that will benefit patients who do not respond to conventional therapies. -

Kunal Mukherjee
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
BioKunal Mukherjee is an assistant professor in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford. He has been an assistant professor in the Materials department at UC Santa Barbara (2016-2020), held postdoctoral appointments at IBM TJ Watson Research Center (2016) and MIT (2015), and worked as a transceiver engineer at Finisar (2009-2010).
The Mukherjee group specializes in semiconductors that emit and detect light in the infrared. Our research enables better materials for data transmission, sensing, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring. We make high-quality thin films with IV-VI (PbSnSe) and III-V (GaAs-InAs/GaSb) material systems and spend much of our time understanding how imperfections in the crystalline structure such as dislocations and point defects impact their electronic and optical properties. This holds the key to directly integrating these semiconductors with silicon and germanium substrates for new hybrid circuits that combine infrared photonics and conventional electronics. -
Souradeep Mukherjee
Ph.D. Student in Earth and Planetary Sciences, admitted Autumn 2023
BioSouradeep is an Exploration Geologist-turned-AI Researcher developing decision-making algorithms to discover high-grade mineral deposits. With almost a decade of experience in on-field exploration of critical & strategic mineral deposits, he is now using his computer to unlock the full potential of mineral discovery.
Souradeep is currently a Doctoral Researcher at Stanford Mineral-X. His current work focuses on fusing multi-element soil geochemistry with 3D geological inference to build predictive models for subsurface intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu sulfide mineralization in the Curaçá Valley, Brazil. By leveraging machine learning, geostatistics, and compositional data analysis, he aims to reduce geological uncertainty and operational costs in mineral targeting, transforming how exploration is conducted in under-explored terrains.
Prior to Stanford, Souradeep held several technical and supervisory roles at the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD), Government of India, where he spearheaded multiple national-scale mineral exploration campaigns. He led the exploration and evaluation of uranium-bearing sediments in the Bhima Basin, the mapping of lithium-rich pegmatites in Karnataka, and the delineation of heavy mineral sand deposits across the east coast of India. His work included advanced geological mapping, structural interpretation, kinematic analysis, downhole geophysics, petrological microscopy, and geostatistical modeling—skills that now enrich his algorithmic thinking in research.
His research interests span compositional data analysis, geospatial modeling, machine learning for Earth systems, building intelligent decision making agents for mineral exploration and mineral prospectivity analysis. He is particularly passionate about bridging the gap between traditional geosciences and computational intelligence to power the next generation of resource discovery tools.
When he’s not deep into code or core samples, Souradeep contributes to scientific outreach, mentors young geoscientists, and advocates for data transparency and sustainability in the mining sector. He is also a writer, a poet and loves to write pieces on existential philosophy. -
