Helen M. Blau
Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Professor, Director, Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Professor, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Helen Blau's research area is regenerative medicine with a focus on stem cells. Her research on nuclear reprogramming and demonstrating the plasticity of cell fate using cell fusion is well known and her laboratory has also pioneered the design of biomaterials to mimic the in vivo microenvironment and direct stem cell fate. Current findings are leading to more efficient iPS generation, cell based therapies by dedifferentiation a la newts, and discovery of novel molecules and therapies.

Nathaniel Aidan Blecher
Clinical Assistant Professor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Nathaniel Blecher is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who specializes in glaucoma care at Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
His clinical interests include innovative surgical treatments for glaucoma—including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)—as well as the connection between lifestyle and ocular health. Dr. Blecher provides comprehensive care for the full spectrum of glaucoma, both early-stage and particularly advanced disease.
His individualized approach includes laser therapy, medical management, MIGS procedures, and more complex interventions such as tube shunt placement and trabeculectomy. He also treats coexisting conditions like cataracts, ensuring patients receive coordinated, whole-eye care.
Dr. Blecher’s research interests include treatments for pseudophakic angle closure, which is a rare situation when high pressure inside the eye suddenly develops despite cataract surgery. He has also studied the finer details of correctly detecting glaucoma progression based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis, considering the changes that can be seen from comorbid conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
Dr. Blecher’s research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and Ophthalmology Case Reports. He has presented internationally on topics such as MIGS and complex glaucoma management.
He is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Glaucoma Society. -
