Lisa Giocomo
Professor of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the organization of cortical circuits important for spatial navigation and memory. We are particularly focused on medial entorhinal cortex, where many neurons fire in spatially specific patterns and thus offer a measurable output for molecular manipulations. We combine electrophysiology, genetic approaches and behavioral paradigms to unravel the mechanisms and behavioral relevance of non-sensory cortical organization. Our first line of research is focused on determining the cellular and molecular components crucial to the neural representation of external space by functionally defined cell types in entorhinal cortex (grid, border and head direction cells). We plan to use specific targeting of ion channels, combined with in vivo tetrode recordings, to determine how channel dynamics influence the neural representation of space in the behaving animal. A second, parallel line of research, utilizes a combination of in vivo and in vitro methods to further parse out ionic expression patterns in entorhinal cortices and determine how gradients in ion channels develop. Ultimately, our work aims to understand the ontogenesis and relevance of medial entorhinal cortical topography in spatial memory and navigation.

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.

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. -

Affiliate, School of Medicine - Biomedical Ethics
BioI am a 2026 Stanford Storytelling & Medicine Summer Scholar! I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Development San José State University (SJSU) and I am expected to graduate Fall 2027. I hope to attend graduate school for Counseling Psychology. As a McNair Scholar, I am investigating the impact of third places on Santa Clara County adolescents in retrospect. Also, I foster my cultural connections as a research assistant for the SJSU BIPOC-MPMH Lab by interviewing Filipinx in the Bay Area about their experiences with colorism and its impacts on mental health. Aside from research, I work as a Psychology Peer Mentor to enrich high schoolers' understanding and passion for psychology. In my free time, I love to dance, read interactive novels, listen to new music, sew, and scrapbook! I am excited to mix arts with medicine because wellness should be led by a holistic approach with lots of fun and emotion!

Aparna Goel
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Goel is interested in studying the complications and management of patients with end-stage liver disease, including infections, bleeding and encephalopathy. As the waitlist for liver transplantation continues to grow, many patients develop consequences of decompensated liver disease. It is becoming increasingly important to improve our understanding and care of these complications in order to optimize the quality of life for this growing population of patients.
She is also particularly interested in the management of patients with autoimmune liver disease including autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis among others. -
