Ali Odeh

Hello everyone and welcome to the HumBio Core! My name is Ali, and I am thrilled to be one of your A-side CAs. As a HumBio major, my area of concentration was Physiology, Behavior, and Technology. This broad and interdisciplinary concentration allowed me to customize my Stanford experience and explore my various interests. I also love to teach! During college, I served as a Teach for America Ignite Fellow and a TA for Human Physiology (HumBio 133) with Professor Kao. I can’t wait to continue teaching as a CA and look forward to getting to know you all this year. Clinical volunteering at Stanford’s Cardinal Free Clinics (CFC) was also a large part of my undergraduate journey. I served as a Preclin and DEI Chair and highly encourage any interested students to get involved. Eager to apply what I learned in my HumBio classes, I have spent the past two years conducting research in the Department of Hematology at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Specifically, I focus on abnormal renal function in patients with sickle cell disease. Outside of the classroom and lab, I love swimming, spending time at the beach, and trying my hand at surfing. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions at all.
