Aaron D. Gitler
Stanford Medicine Basic Science Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe investigate the mechanisms of human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and ALS. We don't limit ourselves to one model system or experimental approach. We start with yeast, perform genetic and chemical screens, and then move to other model systems (e.g. mammalian tissue culture, mouse, fly) and even work with human patient samples (tissue sections, patient-derived cells, including iPS cells) and next generation sequencing approaches.

Linda Giudice
Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor in the School of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is in reproductive endocrinology and reproductive genomics. It focuses on human endometrial biology as it relates to basic biological mechanisms underlying steroid hormone action in this tissue, normal and abnormal placenta-decidua interactions, mechanisms underlying placentation and abnormal fetal growth, endometrial stem cells, and functional genomics for diagnostics and therapeutics of endometrial disorders. We also study mechanisms underlying ovarian follicle steroidogenesis.

Diona Gjermeni
Affiliate, Med/Stanford Center for Clinical Research
Visiting Scholar, Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular MedicineBioDiona Gjermeni is a clinical physician with dual specialization in Internal Medicine and Cardiology (board certified in Germany). With a strong focus on clinical research and trials, her previous work primarily revolves around antithrombotic therapy, atrial fibrillation and precision medicine. Currently she is actively engaged as Research Fellow at the Stanford Center for Clinical Research (SCCR), where she is involved in a variety of cardiovascular clinical trials across multiple phases, with particular emphasis on digital health, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. Her research aims to improve patient outcomes through innovative therapies and precision medicine.

Nicole Gladish
Research Fellow, Epidemiology and Population Health
BioDr. Nicole Gladish is a Research Fellow in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. Her work integrates genetic, epigenetic, and population-level data to understand how biological and environmental factors interact to shape health disparities and influence trajectories of healthy aging. In addition to exploring molecular mechanisms, she conducts applied research on health policy interventions developing and refining tools like deprivation indices to inform equitable decision-making at the systems level.
Dr. Gladish earned her Ph.D. in Medical Genetics from the University of British Columbia (UBC), where her thesis focused on how early-life adversity, such as low socioeconomic status and abuse, affects DNA methylation patterns. This work aimed to elucidate the biological mechanisms that predispose individuals to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
At Stanford, she continues to investigate the interplay between social determinants and biological risk, with a growing emphasis on translational research. Her development of improved social deprivation indices supports more accurate identification of disadvantaged communities, informing public health funding, service allocation, and structural interventions across the U.S.
Dr. Gladish's work bridges molecular epidemiology and public policy, aiming to ensure that scientific insights translate into measurable improvements in population health.
