Luis Hernandez-Nunez
Assistant Professor of Biology
BioLuis Hernandez-Nunez is a tenure-track professor of biology, a Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholar, a Branco Weiss faculty fellow, and a Burroughs Wellcome Career Award faculty fellow at Stanford University, where he leads the Hernandez-Nunez Lab. Luis’ research focuses on the circuit mechanisms underlying heart-brain interactions and on organismal circuits that implement multiorgan coordination and feedback control. Luis did his postdoctoral training with Florian Engert supported by an LSRF fellowship. Luis obtained his Ph.D. in Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology from Harvard in 2020. He conducted his doctoral research in Aravinthan Samuel’s lab, where he identified molecules, cells, and circuits that mediate thermal homeostasis in larval Drosophila. Before graduate school, Luis was an undergraduate and then a postbac researcher at Thierry Emonet’s lab at Yale University. Before moving to the U.S., Luis studied mechatronics engineering at the National University of Engineering in Peru.

Tina Hernandez-Boussard
Professor of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics), of Biomedical Data Science, of Surgery and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy background and expertise is in the field of computational biology, with concentration in health services research. A key focus of my research is to apply novel methods and tools to large clinical datasets for hypothesis generation, comparative effectiveness research, and the evaluation of quality healthcare delivery. My research involves managing and manipulating big data, which range from administrative claims data to electronic health records, and applying novel biostatistical techniques to innovatively assess clinical and policy related research questions at the population level. This research enables us to create formal, statistically rigid, evaluations of healthcare data using unique combinations of large datasets.

Marco Herrera
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine
BioNon-viral gene delivery enthusiast. Focused on optimizing non-viral delivery using LNPs to all applications as it pertains to varied nucleic acid delivery applications :).
Equally invested in developing logic-gated CAR T cells for the treatment of AML. -
Jordan Ross Herring
Postdoctoral Scholar, Emergency Medicine
BioI am a social scientist whose research examines how Medicaid policy, health care delivery system design, and large-scale structural social factors influence health care access and service delivery for low-income and underserved populations, drawing on core conceptual frameworks from economics and sociology. I primarily use quantitative analysis, quasi-experimental research designs, and large administrative data to evaluate the effects of public policies on health care access and health outcomes.
I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where I work under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Lin on projects examining how Medicaid managed care network size relates to accessing health care. Prior to joining Stanford in February 2025, I conducted research at the Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity within the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University while completing my Ph.D. At the Mullan Institute, my work focused on health workforce policy and workforce diversity and was primarily funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
I hold a Ph.D. in public policy (public finance track) from George Washington University, an M.S. in economics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a B.S. in international economics from Texas Tech University. My research has been published in journals such as Social Science & Medicine, JAMA Health Forum, and Health Affairs. Prior to my doctoral training, I served as an economic research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, where I worked on projects examining the macroeconomic effects of health status and health insurance coverage. -
Rachel Herring
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
BioRachel Herring (Choctaw Nation) is investigating pathways towards a Just Transition as an E-IPER PhD student. Previously, she has recommended policy alternatives for domestic mining with the Department of Energy’s Indian Energy Program, and has explored impacts of critical mineral extraction on Native land as a Kathryn Wasserman Davis Conflict Transformation Fellow. Additionally, as a Fulbright Fellow and National Geographic Explorer, Rachel continues to investigate the intersection between the clean energy transition and the depopulation crisis in rural Japan. She was named a Next Generation Photographer by the 2024 Japan Photo Award in Kyoto, and her work has appeared in the New York Times. She holds an MA in International Environmental Policy from the Middlebury Institute, and a BA from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

Thomas Hersbach
Project Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThom Hersbach is a Policy Fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and a Project Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. His interests span all areas of the energy transition, and his work ranges from basic science studies of water splitting catalysts to exploring the socio-technological contexts of the hydrogen economy and the future chemical refinery complex.
In his free time, Thom enjoys primal movement, running, weightlifting, (guerilla) gardening, baking sourdough bread, brewing coffee/beer, and reading about soil ecology. -
Daniel Herschlag
Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is aimed at understanding the chemical and physical behavior underlying biological macromolecules and systems, as these behaviors define the capabilities and limitations of biology. Toward this end we study folding and catalysis by RNA, as well as catalysis by protein enzymes.
