Ronan Arthur
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
Bio How does a changing epidemic landscape impact people's perceptions of risk and their behavior? How might these changes impact disease dynamics? These questions are more complex than they seem because they involve endogenous, interacting elements in a system.
Ronan studies the interaction between the environment, infectious disease dynamics, and human behavior change. He utilizes techniques from geography and global health in empirical work on Ebola Virus Disease in Liberia. He also utilizes mathematical biology.and nonlinear dynamics tools to model these interacting complex systems. -

Arianna Celis Luna
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
Bio Arianna I. Celis Luna is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. David Relman. Her research will investigate the role of the GI microbiome on iron absorption during pregnancy. She aims is to elucidate a functional role for the microbiome during this critical time period by combining metatranscriptomic and metametabolomic data from in vivo samples with biochemical data from in vitro samples. She hopes to shed light on how iron-deficiency anemia, still affecting ~50% of pregnant women in developed countries, can be more efficiently treated or prevented.
Arianna received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Montana State University in 2018. She worked in the lab of Dr. Jennifer DuBois where her research focused on how, at the molecular level, bacteria build iron into the versatile molecule known as heme and break it apart again. Her work examined how these reactions are critical for both pathogenic species, such as Staphylococcus aureus, and the resident bacteria of the digestive tract.
Arianna?s work encompasses 6 published papers in journals like the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and ACS Biochemistry. She has presented her work in several conferences, including Gordon Research Conferences and the ASBMB Annual Meeting, and at Montana State University as part of the Kopriva Science Seminar Series after receiving the Kopriva Graduate Student Fellowship. -
Jean Coquet
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biomedical Informatics
Bio I received my PhD from University of Rennes 1, where I was working in the Dyliss team (DYnamics, Logics and Inference for biological Systems and Sequences), at the INRIA institute (Rennes, France). My research area have focused on making sense of unconventional and complex wide data biological sets, such as signaling pathways, gene interactions, or more recently, Electronical Health Records (EHRs). In Boussard Lab, my research is to establish different novel strategies for the evaluation the quality healthcare delivery, involving machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods.

Anthony Crimarco
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
Bio Anthony Crimarco, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. His primary research interests include diet and lifestyle interventions. More specifically he focuses on the health benefits of plant-based diets, the impact of the built environment on diet and physical activity behaviors, and the use of mHealth and eHealth in lifestyle interventions.
Dr. Crimarco completed a Ph.D. in Health Promotion, Education, and Behavior from the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina in 2019. He also completed M.S. degrees in Management at the University of Florida (2013) and Wellness Management at Ball State University (2012). -
Kathleen Dantzler
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
Bio Throughout my scientific training, I have focused on building an interdisciplinary background in molecular parasitology, biochemistry, immunology, and public health to provide me with the skills needed to pursue development of a successful malaria vaccine. My PhD research at Harvard centered on understanding immune responses to the developing transmission stages of malaria. By providing the first evidence for natural immunity to immature transmission stages, this work supports interrupting development and maturation of these parasites as a novel approach to transmission-blocking vaccine design. During my postdoctoral fellowship and in the future, I hope to continue researching host-pathogen interactions with applications to malaria vaccine development, while also being involved in global health work in the field. Currently my work focuses on understanding mechanisms of natural immunity to malaria and immune tolerance, particularly in the context of gamma delta T cell and monocyte responses.

Weiguo Fan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Gastroenterology
Bio My research focuses on liver diseases. I got my Ph.D. degree in virology and immune response at Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The two main projects during my Ph.D. program are: 1) explore the relationship between the immune response in Hepatitis C virus infection and Interferon treatment; and 2) investigate the function of ECM1 in liver fibrosis. As a postdoc in Stanford, I will try to integrate basic and translational liver research and focus on: 1) investigate molecular functions of liver immune cells in liver disease; 2) explore key factors determining the change of liver microenvironment that cause liver diseases; 3) use new techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, RNAseq or signal cell sequencing, to explore key factors affecting liver disease and treatment in patients.

Jacqueline Ferguson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, General Internal Medicine
Bio Dr. Jacqueline Ferguson is a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. David Rehkopf at the Center for Population Health Sciences at Stanford and Dr. Donna Zulman through the Big Data-Scientist Training Enhancement Program (BD-STEP) at the Palo Alto VA (Veterans Health Administration).
She specializes in using secondary data sources such as occupational records, insurance claims, and electronic health records to study the relationship between environmental, social exposures and population health. Her research interests are widespread, but all center around methodology to handle time-varying exposures affected by prior exposure and methodology to account for multiple co-exposures or exposure mixtures.
Jacqueline?s doctoral research examined the impact of specific components of shift work on worker health, and identified night and rotational work as risk factors for hypertension and Type II diabetes. As a postdoc and BD-STEP fellow, Jacqueline is applying methodology, primarily developed for assessing chemical mixtures in environmental epidemiology, to examine co-occurring social determinants of health. Her research seeks to understand how multiple social determinants of health can simultaneously influence Veteran care and health within the Veterans Health Administration. -
Priya Fielding-Singh
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
Bio I am a Sociologist and Postdoctoral Fellow in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. My research examines health, gender, and social inequality.
My primary research agenda investigates health disparities across class, race, and gender in the United States. I draw on both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand how neighborhoods, schools, and families shape our health behaviors and outcomes. My work has been published in journals such as Social Science & Medicine, Obesity, Sociological Science, and the Journal of Adolescent Health.
I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology from Stanford University, a M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Bremen, and a B.S. in Education and Social Policy from Northwestern University. -
