Brett Babin
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Brett received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2009. There he worked in the lab of Dr. Neil Forbes developing microfluidic devices to study the interactions between bacteria and in vitro tumor models. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2016 where he worked with Dr. Dave Tirrell and Dr. Dianne Newman. His thesis focused on the development and application of a method for time- and cell-selective proteomic analysis in bacteria. He used this approach to study protein synthesis by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa under dormancy and biofilm growth conditions. Brett joined the Bogyo lab at Stanford in the fall of 2016. His current focus is on the roles of serine hydrolases in the physiology of pathogenic bacteria.

Connie Fung
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Connie received her B.S. in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics from UCLA, where she conducted research on how the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii invades and replicates inside host cells in the lab of Dr. Peter Bradley. Subsequently, she obtained her Ph.D. in Microbiology & Immunology from Stanford University with Dr. Manuel Amieva. Her thesis research involved the use of high-resolution microscopy to study how the bacterium Helicobacter pylori establishes and maintains persistent colonization of the gastric epithelium. Connie joined Dr. Michael Howitt's lab as a postdoctoral research fellow in 2019 and is currently investigating how tuft cells, specialized taste-chemosensory cells, modulate mucosal immunity in response to intestinal parasites.

Elias Roth Gerrick
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Eli received his B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology from U.C. Irvine in 2013, where he worked in the lab of Dr. Celia Goulding. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2018 in the lab of Dr. Sarah Fortune, where he studied post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Eli joined the Howitt lab at Stanford in the summer of 2018, where he is studying the influence of protozoan members of the microbiome on intestinal immunity.

Shirley Greenbaum Karin
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio After 3 years in OBGYN residency program in Israel I decided to pursue a dream and joined the Angelo lab to conduct placental research. I am particularly interested in decidual immune cell populations in normal placentation and in obstetric complications, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth.

Felix J. Hartmann
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Dr. Hartmann received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. During his M.Sc. studies, he additionally performed a research internship studying the role of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells at the Weizmann Institute in Israel under the supervision of Prof. Zelig Eshhar.
He then obtained a PhD from the University of Zurich, Switzerland for his research on T cell functionality in human autoimmune diseases. Following his stay in Zurich, Dr. Hartmann has since performed his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Sean Bendall, with funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), the Novartis Foundation for biomedical research, and EMBO.
His current research focuses on using high-dimensional protein assays such as mass cytometry (CyTOF) and multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) to study functional properties of immune cells in autoimmunity and cancer immunotherapy. -
Yun Shin Jung
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Dr. Jung received her B.S. in Medical Science from University Sydney in Australia and completed her Ph.D. in Human Biology at University of Tsukuba in Japan. Following her Ph.D., she has joined Dr. Katrin J Svensson's lab in Stanford for her postdoctoral training, in the field of molecular endocrinology and metabolism. Her research focus is especially in understanding of fatty liver disease.

Sumin Lee
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal human pathogen that is a major cause of infections worldwide. The new methods for visualizing the site of infection and subsequent response to treatment would greatly improve current clinical management of S. aureus infection.I aim to develop imaging tool to monitor infection in vivo that make use of small molecule activity-based probes (ABPs) that specifically target a family of serine hydrolases enzymes in S. aureus.

Katherine L. Lucot
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Katie is interested in translational genomics using animals as models for human diseases. In collaboration with the James Lab, she researches the genetic differences underlying the pathology of Parkinson?s disease and aims to improve early detection of the disease using PET imaging.

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.
