BioI am a PhD graduate student and a Stanford ChEM-H Chemistry/Biology Interface Predoctoral Trainee at Stanford University, Department of Chemistry under the supervision of D.H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering Karl Deisseroth. I am interested in developing new chemical/protein tools to study neuroscience.
I was previously a research assistant at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Provost's Chair Professor of Chemistry Xiaogang Liu. I was an Arnold and Mabel Beckman Fellow at the Beckman Institute of Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervison of Jay and Ann Schenck Professor of Chemistry Yi Lu on bio-inspired nanomaterials, metalloDNAzymes and sensors. Prior to this, in 2010, I joined the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in the laboratories of Professor Ying Jackie Yi-Ru, Professor Zhiqiang Gao and Principal Research Scientist Yanbing Zu to work on ultrasensitive DNA nanoparticle based biosensors. Subsequently in 2014, I worked on upconversion nanomaterials for biological applications under the supervision of Professor Xiaogang Liu at the National University of Singapore and the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering. In Summer 2015, Kang Yong returned to the National University of Singapore, the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology under the supervision of Professor Yin Thai Chan to work on semiconductor quantum dots and microfluidics applications.
I obtained my B.S. degree in Chemistry (Highest Distinction and Edmund J. James Scholar Honors) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017. -
Kyle Loh
Associate Professor of Developmental Biology (Stem Cell)
BioHow the richly varied cell-types in the human body arise from one embryonic cell is a marvel and mystery. We have mapped how human embryonic stem cells develop into over twenty different types of cells. This roadmap allowed us to generate enriched populations of human brain, blood, blood vessel, bone, and other cells in a Petri dish from embryonic stem cells, with implications for developmental biology, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine. Additionally, we have an emerging interest in exploring deadly biosafety level 4 viruses together with our collaborators.
Kyle attended the County College of Morris and Rutgers, and received his Ph.D. from Stanford (working with Irving Weissman), with fellowships from the Hertz Foundation, National Science Foundation and Davidson Institute for Talent Development. He then continued as a Siebel Investigator, and later, as an faculty member at Stanford. Kyle is a Packard Fellow, Pew Scholar, Human Frontier Science Program Young Investigator and Baxter Foundation Faculty Scholar. His research has been recognized by the NIH Director's Early Independence Award, ISSCR Early Career Impact Award, Forbes 30 Under 30, Harold Weintraub Graduate Award, Hertz Foundation Thesis Prize and A*STAR Investigatorship. -
Quentin Loisel
Postdoctoral Scholar, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
BioQuentin Loisel is a postdoctoral researcher at the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS), where his work focuses on how artificial intelligence is transforming scientific practice and how researchers can use AI to produce better, more robust, and more equitable science. His broader agenda is to help define a hybrid model of scientific inquiry that deliberately and transparently combines human judgment and artificial intelligence.
His research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, epistemology of science, and research systems. He studies how AI tools reshape knowledge production across the research lifecycle, from problem formulation and data analysis to writing, peer review, and governance, and examines the epistemic, methodological, and institutional consequences of human–AI collaboration in science. His work aims to move beyond risk-focused or purely technical perspectives by developing evidence-based, researcher-centric models for integrating AI into everyday scientific practice.
Before joining Stanford, he completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD on digital technologies for co-creation, combining cognitive science, collective intelligence, and participatory research. He has co-funded and is coordinating the Artificial Intelligence working group of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA), which is a researcher-driven community of practice on AI in research. He also advises a social company, called Health Cascade, on how to integrate AI in teams to solve complex societal problems. -
Yashas Ullas Lokesha
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Yashas Ullas Lokesha is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, working in Professor Heike E. Daldrup Link’s laboratory since 2024. His research focuses on clinical and translational molecular imaging, with a particular interest in developing and applying artificial intelligence algorithms for the automated detection and monitoring of pediatric cancers, including lymphoma and sarcomas, using PET and MRI.
He has contributed extensively to the development of imaging techniques for the noninvasive detection of cellular senescence and has a strong interest in musculoskeletal imaging. His work aims to advance precision medicine by integrating innovative imaging science with AI-driven diagnostic tools.
Before joining Stanford, Dr. Yashas served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College in India. -
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. -
Adrienne H. Long, MD, PhD
Instructor, Pediatrics - Hematology & Oncology
BioAdrienne H. Long, MD, PhD is an Instructor and Physician-Scientist in the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford. Clinically, she completed her MD at Northwestern University, her pediatrics residency at Boston Children’s Hospital, and her oncology fellowship training at Stanford University. Dr. Long sees patients with leukemias/lymphomas, and has a clinical interest in T cell malignancies.
Dr. Long received her PhD in Microbiology/Immunology through a National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Northwestern University partnership, where she worked with Dr. Crystall Mackall to advance CAR T cell therapies. Her influential thesis work was the first to identify T cell exhaustion as a critical factor limiting efficacy of CAR therapies (Long et al., Nature Medicine, 2015). She continued her research training with Dr. Nicholas Haining at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute during residency and is currently conducting her post-doctoral research with Dr. Mark Davis at Stanford.
Dr. Long’s research interests lie at the intersection of the immune system and cancer therapies. She is currently studying how thymic selection, designed to prevent auto-immunity, may also inhibit anti-tumor immunity in children. She is also interested in how immunotherapies that have revolutionized how we treat cancer can impact the developing pediatric immune system long term. -
