Michelle Hollenberg
Ph.D. Student
Michelle focuses on developing strategies for analyzing multiplexed immunofluorescent images to investigate the tumor microenvironment in endometrial carcinoma. I use deep learning, image analysis, and multiomics tools to identify relevant biomarkers and morphological features that correlate with clinical outcomes, such as recurrence and immunotherapy response.

Madu Nzerem
Ph.D. Student
Bacterial virulence factors can be used as an alternative target to treat/prevent bacterial infections. By representing biological information with deep learning based tools, I am integrating data from tertiary level protein structure and genomic neighborhoods to predict known and potentially novel bacterial virulence factors.

Tianxiao Zhao
Ph.D. Student
Tianxiao develops computational tools for spatial multi-omics studies using deep learning, focusing on spatial data simulation, spatial context reconstruction, and data integration. He is also exploring applications of large language models in molecular biology.

Ze Chen
Ph.D. Student
Ze uses statistical and machine learning methods to explore biology and medicine, and currently he is focusing on understanding aneuploidy in cancer by studying the interactions between cancer cells and immune cells.

Linda Procell
Ph.D. Student
Linda is interested in studying health and disease in women's healthcare and gynecologic disorders through multi-omic analysis with a focus on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. She is also intrigued by cellular heterogeneity in disease and the structural components of microenvironmental interactions.

Olufolakemi Olusanya
Ph.D. Student
Fola's research is focused on plasmid evolutionary dynamics and its implications for Staphylococcus aureus cytotoxicity

Adam Walker
Ph.D. Student
Adam is working on better understanding cancer metastasis and cell plasticity. He plans on analyzing cancer organoids using a combination of microscopy and multi-omics to identify biomarkers for plasticity and metastatic potential. He will utilize machine learning models to try and computationally assess an organoid's viability and possible clinical uses. Adam is co-mentored by Dr. Theresa Vincent.

Wenke Liu, Ph.D.
Research Scientist
Wenke's research focuses on developing machine learning methods to the harmonization analysis of large multimodal biomedical data sets.

Jude Nawlo, M.D.
Gynecologic Oncology Fellow
Jude's research interests include investigation of LINE-1 retrotransposons in gynecologic cancer, chemotherapy decision-making and palliative care outcomes in the cancer population, national and international healthcare disparities and clinical trial accessibility.

Bea Szeitz, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Bea analyzes multi-omic cancer datasets to improve our understanding of tumor heterogeneity and its relation to tumor progression, metastasis development and therapy resistance. Her special interests are proteogenomics and lung cancer.

Hanaa Khadraoui, M.D.
Gynecologic Oncology Fellow
Hanaa's research interests include learning about cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate chemotherapy drug resistance. She is also interested in cancer care delivery, health disparities, and cancer prevention.

Naaman Mehta, M.D.
Gynecologic Oncology Fellow
Naaman's research interests include exploring cellular and molecular targets for high-risk endometrial cancers. She is also interested in survivorship care and improving gynecologic cancer health disparities nationally and internationally.

Rhea Eubanks, M.D.
Gynecologic Oncology Fellow
Rhea's research interests include the investigation of molecular targets that may affect the durability of HER2 targeted therapies in patients who have HER2 expressing gynecologic cancers. She is also interested in health care disparities, improving health literacy, and primary cancer prevention.
