Initially trained as a Cognitive Psychologist with expertise on conscious versus unconscious influences on performance, Steve has more recently become a strong proponent of preventative mental health efforts. During the pandemic Steve created a free online course at Coursera.org entitled Understanding and Managing the Anxiety of COVID 19, a course that has over 180,000 registered students. That lead him to then created more specialized courses, one supporting Police Officers and another supporting Health Care Workers, providing each with a better understanding of the stressors associated with their chosen work, and giving them tips and strategies for managing their mental health. Since then Steve has become a common media commentator around preventative mental health, and has begun supporting both not for profits (The GenWell Initiative) and commercial entities (OOt Social) to bring mental health support to corporations, students, and the general public.

About
## Scientist Genomics I have my major, MSc, and PhD degrees in biology, human, and medical genetics. I have hands-on experience in a variety of molecular biology and genetic techniques and have worked on NGS library preparation, scRNA-seq, and data analysis. As shown in my resume (I can also send my CV if needed), in addition to genomic experiments, I have worked on other omic profiling such as epigenome (DNA methylation), proteomics, and transcriptomics in a variety of samples including human cells and animal tissues. With more than 20 years of work experience, I have worked in hospital, academic, and biotech settings and proactively had to take a strategic thinking and problem-solving approach. Thus, I am adaptable to changing directions and methods, and eager to work in a dynamic, fast-paced research and product development environment. I also have multiple experiences managing multicenter and international collaborations and managing multiple priorities in a cross-functional team. I personally give fundamental value to diversity and building new connections and collaborations, and learning from diverse team members. Continuous learning and teamwork are my core values. There are other examples of my attention to detail, optimizing and troubleshooting techniques and experiments in molecular biology, genomics, and NGS panel design. As an example of my resilience, in a collaboration between CZ Biohub and the Stanford Pediatrics Department, I had to pilot a split-seq and combinatorial barcoding NGS method for newborn lung samples from library preparation up to scRNA-seq analysis. With a strong background in genomics and biology and expertise in the wet lab and data analysis, I could be a valuable asset to the Product Development teams where they need someone to lead and advance genomics research and NGS technology development, outreach, and shaping the future of genomics research, especially in clinical genetics and medical genomics. As I pursue a multidisciplinary collaboration in my scientific rationale, particularly, I am eager to extend my dedication to commercialization and envision the genomics product for financial gain and bringing value to the market. In summary, I have expertise and am eager to continue to design, conduct, and optimize new biological and genomics experiments and elucidate underlying mechanisms. I have more than 20 years of direct work experience in clinical research, both within hospital settings and in functional genomics labs. These roles required me to perform a variety of monitoring tasks depending on the context. This included monitoring lab and patient data, as well as monitoring various types of data such as clinical, molecular, and omics data, including genomics and proteomics. I have experience in developing IVD tests such as NGS panels and Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) for genetic diseases.

About
Professor Ramirez is a native of Chile and a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1990. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 and has been at Trinity College since 1985. He has held visiting positions at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana (Summer 1991 and 1992), Haverford College (Spring 1992), Vanderbilt University (Spring 1999), and Yale University (Spring 2006). His teaching interests are primarily in the areas of Latin American economic development and international finance and open economy macroeconomics. At the College he usually offers Latin American economic development and Structural Reform in Latin America during the fall term, while international finance and open economy macroeconomics is taught during the spring term. He also teaches a course in Time-Series Analysis every other spring term, with particular emphasis on unit root and cointegration analysis, error correction modeling, and forecasting. Insofar as his research is concerned, it is primarily dedicated to analyzing the challenges and opportunities that Latin American nations face as they attempt to stabilize and reform their economies in an increasingly globalized world. In particular, his work has reviewed and analyzed the impact of IMF-sponsored adjustment and stabilization measures in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the mixed success of structural reform programs such as privatization of state-owned firms, deregulation of economic activity, and liberalization of trade and finance. His research has also focused on the economic and institutional determinants of foreign direct investment in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the impact of these flows on private capital formation and labor productivity growth in Latin America. Another important focus of his work in recent years has been the growing role of remittance flows in financing private investment spending and boosting economic growth in countries such as Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Jamaica, and Mexico. Finally, he has published work in the history of economic thought relating to Marx's important analysis of wages and cyclical crises, his theory of absolute and differential ground rent, his analysis of the falling rate of profit, Marx's controversial writings on the so-called Asiatic mode of production, and his conception of capital as a social process.

Throughout my training, I have been focused toward my ultimate goal of becoming a clinical translational researcher in gastrointestinal (GI) oncology, collaborating closely with laboratory-based researchers to move laboratory findings into patients and to answer important clinical questions. My clinical research is centered on the development of novel agents in GI cancers, with particular interest in combinatorial approaches of epigenetic therapies and immunotherapies combinations. I ran the first phase II study of combination epigenetic therapy and immunotherapy in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, working with a collaborative team that incorporates leading experts in cancer immunology, epigenetics and drug development. I was awarded the 2018 ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award for this project.  Together with Dr. Yarchoan, we are running a clinical trial of a novel neoantigen-specific vaccine in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) (NCT04248569). My laboratory focus has been on developing and validating a preclinical mouse model of FLC to investigate mechanisms underlying FLC pathogenesis, and will become a critical tool for investigating novel therapeutic strategies in FLC.
