Biography
Hello! I’m Perla Molina. I’m a PhD student in the Department of Biomedical Data Science program. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Data Science at the University of San Francisco (USF) in May of 2023. I’ve interned at DaVita Kidney Care where I worked on preliminary research assessing caregiver stress of clinic patients.

Interests
My general research interests involve utilizing and developing computational and machine learning methods for neonatal and women’s health research and the translational integration of EHR and -omics data. My current research involves using ML methods to assess neonatal heart failure from metabolomics. I participate in a lot of outreach within Stanford’s SoM and my department, having been part of the student JEDI committee since starting my PhD and being a program leader for the Summer ADVANCE program.
