Valentina Martinez Damonte
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychiatry
Bio I have come to Stanford University to increase my knowledge and acquire new skills in neuroscience and synaptic plasticity. My interest in the brain arises from its unique complexity and malleability to shape different behavioral outcomes. My PhD was aimed at studying the modulation of voltage-gated calcium channels in primary neuronal cultures and brain slices by a GPCR involved in energy homeostasis and memory. At this stage I am willing to use my expertise in electrophysiology and subcellular neuroscience to explore the plasticity of inhibitory afferents into the VTA and its relation with stress-induced relapse.
I also believe that science is a powerful tool to explore and change the world, and hence I am highly interested in the ideas behind science policies as well as in understanding how science shapes the reality we live in, and the responsibility we have as scientists. -

Leonardo Martinez Pantoja
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
Bio I am a postdoctoral research fellow focusing on infectious disease epidemiology, specifically tuberculosis, in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine at Stanford University's School of Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Jason Andrews.
My research focuses on
(i) deriving and validating meaningful and effective interventions to diagnose and prevent pediatric tuberculosis
(ii) furthering our understanding of tuberculosis transmission dynamics in high-burden settings, and
(iii) advocating for the implementation of effective health policy in low-income communities with a high tuberculosis burden -
Daphne O. Martschenko
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biomedical Ethics
Bio Daphne Martschenko, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford University Center for Biomedical Ethics. She received a Ph.D. in Education from the University of Cambridge in 2019. Daphne’s research identifies ethical, legal, and social considerations arising from genetics research and clinical practice and related policy recommendations to address these issues. Her work advocates for and facilitates cross-disciplinary research efforts that promote socially responsible communication of social science genomics research findings. Prior projects include an ‘adversarial collaborative’ effort with social science genomics researchers to explore recent developments in Genetics and Education (AERA Open, 2019) and guest editing a Special Issue devoted to the introduction of the biosocial sciences into Education (Research in Education, 2020).

Andrea Mendoza Vasconez
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
Bio Dr. Andrea S. Mendoza-Vasconez' research has primarily focused on the promotion and maintenance of physical activity among Latino populations, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Dr. Mendoza-Vasconez is interested in citizen science as a means of empowering and mobilizing underserved communities, and in the use of technology to tailor interventions in a behavioral precision medicine approach.
Outside of research, Dr. Mendoza-Vasconez loves spending time with her family (especially her baby daughter Olivia), biking, learning new and challenging things (like surfing!), and traveling to new places (which will unfortunately be done sparingly in the future in an effort to reduce her ecological footprint). -
Louise Alessandra Mesentier Louro
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Interested in understanding how glia shapes neuronal fate in neurodegenerative diseases and in designing therapeutic approaches to prevent retinal ganglion cell loss and irreversible damage to the optic nerve, the only connection between the eye and the brain.

Eric Mou
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Oncology
Bio I was born in Oregon and raised in Iowa, where I cultivated my initial interest in science and medicine. I completed my undergraduate degree and medical school at the University of Iowa before heading to Stanford University for my internal medicine residency and oncology fellowship training. I chose this field to try my best in assisting patients during times of great need, and working to understand what is of greatest importance to them as they navigate their unique journey of cancer care. My scholarly interests include exploring the efficacy and value of novel cancer therapeutics, identifying important issues in patient survivorship, and promoting strength in medical education.

Dunja Mrdjen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Dr. Mrdjen received a B.Sc. in Molecular and Cell Biology and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Medical Biochemistry from the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa. During her M.Sc. research she investigated the imprinting of maternal immune experience onto offspring in mouse models at the Institute of Infectious Diseases and Molecular Medicine at UCT. Following her M.Sc. work, Dr. Mrdjen interned at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) at Biopolis, Singapore, and then moved to Zurich, Switzerland where she completed her Ph.D. in Immunology at the University of Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Becher. Dr. Mrdjen's Ph.D. work involved the use of single-cell technologies like CyTOF mass cytometry to investigate the immune compartments of the murine brain at steady state and during different kinds of brain diseases.
With funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation and Novartis, Dr. Mrdjen's post-doctoral research at Stanford University with Prof. Thomas Montine and Dr. Sean Bendall focuses on understanding the cellular networks and spatial interactions between cells, pathology and genetic risk products that drive Alzheimer's disease in the human brain, by leveraging multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) and computational approaches to data analysis. -
Pritam Mukherjee

Bio I received my B. Tech(Hons) with a major in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering and a minor in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur in 2010. In 2016, I obtained a Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park under the guidance of Prof. Sennur Ulukus. From January to December 2017, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Electrical Engineering department at Stanford University with Prof. Tsachy Weissman and Prof. Ayfer Ozgur. From January 2018, I joined the Gevaertlab at BMIR in the Stanford School of Medicine where I am currently pursuing research into the application of machine learning and deep learning to uncover the interplay between biomedical imaging and genomics, as they relate to cancer research.
