Our Team

We are an interdisciplinary team of physicians and scientists with backgrounds in medicine, immunology, cancer, autoimmunity, synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning. Our culture is positive, collaborative, innovative, and fast-paced. What drives us is the unique opportunity to create advanced T cell therapies that could transform patient care.

Zinaida Good, PhD
 

Assistant Professor

Divisions of Immunology and Rheumatology and of Computational Medicine

Department of Medicine, Stanford University

Director, Stanford Center for Cancer Cell Therapy Data Hub

Investigator, Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy

Investigator, Weill Cancer Hub West

In the Good lab, we bring together systems immunology, machine learning, and rich clinical multiomic data to uncover the principles that determine whether a T cell therapy succeeds or fails. Our broader goal is to turn these insights into artificial intelligence systems that can help us design more effective T cell therapies.

I trained in computational and systems immunology with Garry Nolan and Sean Bendall at Stanford, where I completed my Ph.D., and subsequently studied CAR T cell therapies during my postdoctoral training with Crystal Mackall and Sylvia Plevritis. That combination of computational science, human immunology, and cell therapy continues to shape how our lab approaches problems today: we start with data from patients, look for biological mechanisms that matter, and use those discoveries to guide the design of the next generation of T cell therapies.

I am deeply committed to training and supporting the next generation of scientists who will drive innovation in biomedical research. My lab provides a collaborative, intellectually stimulating environment where trainees can develop the technical skills, critical thinking abilities, and professional competencies needed for successful careers in science.
