Postdoctoral scholars play an essential role in advancing disease-focused discovery at Gladstone. They bring invaluable skills, expertise, and fresh perspectives to their work each day, driving scientific advancements and fostering new collaborations. And through their tenure as trainees at Gladstone—working hand-in-hand with our investigators—they gain vital experience to become the next generation of scientific leaders.
Featured here are just a few of the 100-plus current postdocs who bring their unique backgrounds and talents to further Gladstone’s mission. Hear about their scientific journeys, motivations, and commitment to overcoming disease.
Jason Nomburg
Doudna Lab
Jason Nomburg, PhD, was part of a team that provided novel insights into nearly 70,000 lesser-known viral proteins that could eventually help in the development of new antiviral therapies. Learn more about the study.
Alicer Andrew
Roan Lab
Alicer Andrew, PhD, was one of the winners of UCSF’s 2024 Postdoc Slam award. She presented her research investigating how T cells respond to HIV infection. Read more about the award.
Marty Yang
Ramani Lab
Marty Yang was part of a team that developed a new method to more fully understand DNA replication, a fundamental biological process that happens whenever cells in the body divide. Read more about the study.
Abdullah Syed
Doudna Lab
Abdullah Syed and his colleagues used virus-like particles to understand how mutations that arose in SARS-CoV-2 altered the virus’ ability to spread and escape the immune system. Read more about this research.
Rosmely Hernandez
Marson Lab
Rosmely Hernandez received an award from the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy to pursue innovative immunotherapy projects that could transform cancer treatment. Learn more about the award.
Stephanie Miller
Palop Lab
Stephanie Miller and colleagues used machine learning to identify and categorize subtle behavioral patterns in mice that could indicate early cognitive decline. The technology could one day offer clinical value, perhaps enabling earlier diagnosis of patients with neurological disease. Learn more about this study.
