Han Zhu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Zhu is an Assistant Professor of Medicine whose clinical and research expertise focuses on cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology. She specializes in the cardiovascular care of patients undergoing therapies for cancer, with a particular focus on the effects of immunotherapies on the heart. She received a bioengineering degree from MIT, medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, and completed clinical cardiology fellowship and internal medicine residency training at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Zhu’s laboratory focuses on myocarditis, cardiac inflammation, and the effects of cancer therapeutics on the cardiovascular system. Her current research employs clinical data, bio-banked samples, and in vivo/in vitro preclinical models in combination with single-cell technologies to study immune-based toxicities in the heart. Dr. Zhu's clinic sees cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology patients and her lab focuses on devising new methods for minimizing cardiovascular complications in the cancer and autoimmune patient populations.

Susan Ziolkowski, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Nephrology
BioDr. Ziolkowski is a board-certified nephrologist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Nephrology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she is a founding contributor to Stanford’s Onco-Nephrology program. She is a pioneering investigator who leads an independent, multidisciplinary research program at the intersection of onco-nephrology, medical imaging, and artificial intelligence, focused on redefining how kidney disease is detected, characterized, and managed in patients with cancer.
Her research integrates large-scale clinical data, advanced imaging, and machine learning to develop novel predictive models and uncover mechanisms of kidney injury in complex populations, including patients with cancer and stem cell transplantation. Through this work, she is establishing a new research paradigm that leverages imaging and AI to move beyond traditional biomarkers and enable earlier detection, improved risk stratification, and more precise, individualized care. Her program is designed to support the development of innovative, externally funded research aimed at transforming kidney outcomes in high-risk populations.
Clinically, Dr. Ziolkowski cares for patients at Stanford Health Care kidney clinics in Palo Alto and Emeryville, where she specializes in the management of kidney disease in patients with cancer. Her approach emphasizes precision medicine and individualized care strategies to optimize long-term outcomes and quality of life.
Dr. Ziolkowski has authored peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, including the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, Journal of Renal Nutrition, and Peritoneal Dialysis International, and presents her work nationally at meetings such as the American Society of Nephrology. Through her leadership in research, clinical care, and education, she is advancing the field of onco-nephrology and shaping the future of data-driven kidney care. -
Andrew Zolopa
Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) at the Stanford University Medical Center, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Zolopas research applies a variety of clinical epidemiologic methods in an effort to optimize antiretroviral therapy and understand the impact of drug resistance on response to ARV. Areas of focus include the clinical application of resistance testing in optimizing antiretroviral therapy, clinical cohorts, trials of antiretroviral therapies and population-based epidemiologic evaluation of HIV resistance and efficacy of ARV therapy. More recently studies focused on premature aging in HIV.
