BioDr. Amy R. Leslie is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine in the Department of Urology in Dr. James D. Brooks's lab. Dr. Leslie received their Ph.D. from UC Davis in Integrative Pathobiology in Dr. Allen C. Gao's lab and B.S. from UC Santa Cruz in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Before coming to Stanford, Amy's prior research focused on characterization of therapeutic resistance in advanced stages of prostate cancer. Currently, Dr. Leslie is investigating how prostate cancer cells evade the immune response through glycosylation alterations to the cancer cell surface using in vitro and in vivo approaches.

Andrew Leslie
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in morphological evolution. I approach this broad topic by investigating how interactions among form, function, and environment have influenced evolutionary patterns in plant reproductive structures over million-year time scales. This approach requires synthesizing information from different disciplines, and my work uses approaches from paleontology, biomechanics, phylogenetics, and biogeography.

Jerker Lessing
Adjunct Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI earned my PhD at Lund University, Sweden, focused on strategic aspects of industrialized construction. I am the CEO and founder of Lessing Innovation, an advisory and consultancy firm within construction industrialization, innovation and sustainability. Between 2015-2023 I had the role as Director of Research & Development at BoKlok, Sweden’s leading housing company within industrialized construction. Before joining BoKlok, I worked for one of Sweden's leading engineering firms, Tyréns AB, where I led a team of Consultants focusing on Construction innovation. I was also engaged by leading Construction and housing companies as a consultant and advisor for numerous innovation- and development projects aimed at industrialized construction.
I am frequently engaged as a lecturer and moderator in both academia and industry, have co-authored a book about industrialized construction and I publish research in international Journals.
I have been a visiting researcher and lecturer at Stanford University since 2013 and since 2017 I am adjunct Professor here. At Stanford I have established and taught the course CEE324 Industrialized Construction, organized study trips for Stanford students and faculty to Sweden, as well as organized the Industrialized Construction Forum which is a industry-academia conference, held annually.
In my research I developed a framework describing contemporary industrialized construction, which has served as a foundation for academic research, as well as a guide for the industry’s development, in Sweden and internationally. -
