My name is John Hobbs and I’m originally from Lonoke Arkansas. I grew to love research during my undergraduate honors project. Throughout the years, I learned that I enjoy utilizing state-of-the-art imaging techniques to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms of gene expression in relation to disease. I chose this career path because I enjoy learning about biological phenomena and dissecting the associated pathways.

I grew up in Valley Stream, New York. I attended CUNY City College of New York where I received my bachelor's degree in biophysics. I completed my doctoral studies in biomedical sciences from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I chose a career in biomedical research because of the opportunity to use systems biology to improve patient care and health..

I grew up in Long Island, and I am pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering. I was always interested in the "why" of how something worked, so research was a natural step for me.

I grew up in a very small town in Northern New York, on the St. Lawrence River. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Rochester, I became interested in immunology, leading me to pursue a PhD at Columbia University in 2020. Ultimately, I decided to pursue research in hematopoiesis with the goal of understanding how blood production is drastically altered with aging, leading to immune susceptibility in the elderly.

Dr. Oh is from South Korea and completed his Master's and Doctorate in Health Informatics at the University of Minnesota - Twin cities. He is passionate about uncovering meaningful patterns in data with clinical relevance. He enjoys collaborating with medical professionals to expand his understanding, and ultimately strives to develop treatment strategies that are optimal for providing better quality and cost-effective care to patients within the healthcare sector.

I am currently a pediatric nephrology fellow at Montefiore Medical Center. I am originally from Queens, NY and attended medical school at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine and completed my residency training at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. My research is inspired by my patients and the goal of ultimately improving my patients' quality of life is what drives me toward this career.

I grew up in Delhi, India where I completed my schooling and undergrad degree. During my high school I learned about Mendelian inheritance and transcription of genes or, in other words, regulation of gene expression which was quiet intriguing. During the academic training for master’s, I developed a deeper understanding of the basic concepts in the field of genetics, molecular and cellular biology. What interested me was the concept that virtually all cells contain the same genetic material but not all genes are expressed in a given cell type owing to their epigenetic regulation.

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Sandeep Mallipattu at Stonybrook University. I was born in Moscow, in the former USSR, and came to the United States when I was 8 years old – after that living mostly in NYC and the tri-state area. I love research precisely because the failure rate is astronomically high, so it’s a challenge to come up with new questions and approaches to seemingly intractable problems. I chose biomedical research in particular because it keeps me grounded to the core ambition of this pursuit, which is to devise novel ways of tackling human disease pathogenesis.

I grew up in the metro Detroit area and went to college and medical school in New York. I became interested in pediatric nephrology during medical school and developed a specific interest in the neonatal population during residency. I love that research allows me to try and improve the quality and standard of care that my patients receive.

I am originally from Queens, NY and I chose the path of becoming a researcher because I realized my passion for scientific exploration during my undergraduate studies at SUNY Geneseo. I enjoy making new discoveries and feel my skills and efforts would be best put forth into research to make a beneficial impact in other people’s lives.

I am Persian but I lived in aa beautiful city in Italy called Siena. I gained two Master’s degrees in nanotechnology and biotechnology and then PhD in medical Biotechnology during which I worked on designing vaccines. At a very young age I became deeply interested in science by joining summer schools in biology. I have always been interested in understanding mechanisms of diseases and hopefully to find prevention and treatments to diseases with no cure. I moved to United States in 2020 during Covid lockdown and I was fortunate to meet my PI and joined kidney research at Stony Brook Medicine!
