Moksha earned her MS in Biology at Cal State University, Los Angeles and her MS in Microbiology at SRK Institute in India. She previously worked as a Research Associate II at City of Hope in Duarte, CA. Currently, Moksha performs ScRNAseq, qPCR and ddPCR. She also trains CCSU team members.

Gaurav Dhapola, M.S., received his B.Tech. in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics in India and his M.S. degree from California State University, Channel Islands. During his master’s program, Gaurav was a California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) awardee. He was also part of the Priceman Lab’s correlative studies at City of Hope monitoring the immunogenicity of CAR T cells within collected patient samples. Gaurav performs scRNA-seq using 10x Genomics and flow cytometric analysis (CAR-FACS) on real-time clinical samples.

Zach graduated with two Bachelor of Science degrees from Santa Clara University in 2018: one in Biochemistry and the other in Bioengineering. In 2019, he graduated with a Master of Science in Bioengineering from Santa Clara University. Zach has been at CCSU since 2019 and has gained experience in High-dimensional flow cytometry, CyTOF and scRNAseq using the 10x platform.

Anne-Marie graduated from Georgetown University with an A.B. in Mathematics and Economics. After her time at Georgetown, Anne-Marie worked for over three years at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, initially as a Research Data Specialist and more recently as a Data Programmer Analyst, both positions within the Breast Oncology Center. She is also currently pursuing a masters degree at Brown University School of Public Health. At CCSU, Anne-Marie has created qPCR, ddPCR, CAR-FACS databases and uses R to analyze that data via the REDCap API.

Claire graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2023, earning a BS in Biology and Studio Art. Her previous work at the University of Notre Dame utilized CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing technology to study the visual cascade within the Aedes aegypti model. Following graduation, she then worked as a medical assistant and scribe.  At CCSU, Claire currently focuses on high-dimensional flow cytometry analysis of the phenotype and number of CAR T- cells in CAR T-cell therapy patients, which allows for real-time monitoring of CAR-T persistence and expansion.

Sunita has more than 17 years of lab experience. She received an MBBS degree (Bachelors of Medicine and Bachelors of Surgery) from Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, India and a Master’s degree in Molecular biology & Immunology from San Jose State University. Before joining Stanford, Sunita worked at Carnegie Institution for Sciences, where she used proteomics-based approach to study steroid signaling in plants. At CCSU, Sunita focuses on flow cytometry-based enumeration of peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets as well as detection of CART cell expansion in patients receiving CART cell therapy. She also specializes in cell sorting and genomics-based assays such as qPCR & ddPCR.

Skyler began his career as a bench scientist working on CAR-T at the University of Michigan and then at Stanford in the Mackall lab. He also spent some time working on CAR-T research in industry and earned a Master's degree in Bioinformatics from Johns Hopkins University. Skyler processes and analyzes high dimensional data from patient samples generated by CCSU and supports the general data ecosystem in CCT. This typically involves working with data types such as CyTOF, luminex (cytokines), scRNAseq, etc. and creating visualizations or analyses that clinical trial stakeholders can use to further their research.
