Jennifer Frankovich
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Rheumatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy primary interest and role at Stanford is to evaluate and treat children with both systemic and organ specific autoimmune disease. In October of 2012, we started a multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to treating patients with PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndromes).

Hunter Fraser
Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the evolution of complex traits by developing new experimental and computational methods.
Our work brings together quantitative genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology to achieve a deeper understanding of how genetic variation shapes the phenotypic diversity of life. Our main focus is on the evolution of gene expression, which is the primary fuel for natural selection. Our long-term goal is to be able to introduce complex traits into new species via genome editing. -

William James Frederick
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine
BioDr. William James Frederick III is the Medical Director of Case Management, Utilization Management, and the Physician Advisor Medical Director at Stanford Health Care. Prior to moving to Stanford in August 2023, Dr. Frederick was a Physician Advisor and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at UC San Diego Health. As an expert in Healthcare Quality Care Management, he has started internal physician advisor programs, redesigned utilization management workflow, led quality improvement initiatives around readmissions and length of stay, developed a General Inpatient Hospice program, partnered with a critical illness recovery hospital to improve quality and patient care, revamped and expanded health system charity policies, and implemented multidisciplinary team rounding. As a medical educator, Dr. Frederick served as the Course Director for 4th year medical students during inpatient medicine rotations across four hospitals. As an Internal Medicine Core Faculty Member, he instituted a weekly resident quality improvement and patient safety conference. He provided ongoing education to faculty, staff, and trainees on topics of inpatient clinical care, ethical use of hospice, critical illness recovery hospitals, patient flow, and quality management. His desire to give back to the community led him to service as faculty chair of the UC San Diego Faculty and Staff giving council.
Dr. Frederick is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Health Care Quality Management with a sub-certification as a Physician Advisor. He completed his residency at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and earned both an MD and PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Davis. He holds a BS in Bioengineering from UC San Diego. He began his career by serving in the United States Marine Corps as infantryman from 1989-1993. -

Michael T. Freehill, MD, FAOA
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Freehill is a board-certified, double fellowship-trained specialist in orthopaedic surgery with a sub-specialty certification in sports medicine and serves as Chief of Shoulder & Elbow Surgery. His concentration is in shoulder and sports elbow. Dr. Freehill serves as Head Team physician for the Athletics Major League Baseball organization. He is also a team physician for Stanford University athletics and Head Team physician for the Stanford University baseball.
Dr. Freehill’s practice focuses on all shoulder conditions including rotator cuff tears, instability, arthritis, arthropathy, complex shoulder pathology, and sports related shoulder injury. In addition, he is also passionate about sports-related elbow injuries, with an emphasis on thrower’s elbow.
Professional and amateur athletes, as well as non-athletes, come to Dr. Freehill for expert care. His sports medicine training and specialization in shoulder replacement procedures enable him to treat patients across the lifespan. Depending on factors including the patient’s condition and occupation, he may recommend treatment ranging from non-operative solutions (such as physical therapy), to cutting-edge biologics procedures, to complex surgery.
Previously, he was a team physician for the Detroit Tigers and the Winston-Salem Dash (affiliated with the Chicago White Sox); he assisted with the Baltimore Orioles while in residency. He has also served as Director of Sports Medicine for Wake Forest University Athletics.
As executive director of the Stanford Baseball Science CORE, Dr. Freehill draws on his previous experience as a professional baseball player to help athletes of all skill levels and push baseball science forward. He conducts cutting edge research on the biomechanics of overhead throwers and has studied pitch counts in adolescent players funded by Major League Baseball and is currently studying post-ulnar collateral ligament surgery in professional baseball hitters funded by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. (AOSSM). He is a member of the MLB Team Physicians Association and its Research Committee. Additionally, he was the pioneering mind behind the Pitching Lab at Wake Forest.
Dr. Freehill has pioneered the use of some of the latest techniques and technology for leading-edge shoulder care. Among the advanced technologies he utilizes is a virtual reality (VR) planning software system that enables him to perform a simulated shoulder arthroplasty procedure prior to entering the operating room with a patient. He is also a member of the robotics team which will revolutionize the manner in which shoulder replacement is performed.
Dr. Freehill has over 100 peer-reviewed articles and his work has been featured in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Arthroscopy, and elsewhere. He has written numerous book chapters and made over 400 presentations at regional, national, and international conferences. Dr. Freehill’s honors include the Orthopaedic Residency Research Award in residency at Johns Hopkins University. He is also a Neer Award winner, denoting the highest research award selected annually by the American Shoulder and Elbow Society and was awarded a research grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate stromal vascular fractionated mesenchymal cells and their potential for healing rotator cuff tendon tears.
Currently, the Associate Editor for Shoulder & Elbow for the American Journal of Sports Medicine, he is also a committee member for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Society, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, International Congress of Arthroscopy and Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy Association of North America, and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Association and has been elected into the Herodicus Society. -

Judith Frydman
Donald Kennedy Chair in the School of Humanities and Sciences and Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe long term goal of our research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells. My lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to address fundamental questions about molecular chaperones, protein folding and degradation. In addition to basic mechanistic principles, we aim to define how impairment of cellular folding and quality control are linked to disease, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases and examine whether reengineering chaperone networks can provide therapeutic strategies.

Adam Frymoyer
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Neonatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests focus on understanding the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of medicines used in complex pediatric populations. This includes identifying sources of variation in drug response through the application of population PK-PD modeling and simulation approaches. The goal is to ultimately apply this quantitative understanding to guide therapeutic decision-making in infants and children.
