Farzad Azimpour
Casual - Non-Exempt, School of Medicine - MDRP'S - Biodesign Program
BioFarzad leads Edwards Lifesciences’ strategic innovation and future therapies incubator in the Advanced Technology unit as Senior Vice President. He’s a cardiologist by background, bringing academic, start-up, and industry experience applying needs-driven innovation discipline to define and solve high-impact challenges in cardiovascular disease.
Within his role, Farzad heads the Edwards Lifesciences Innovation Fellowship Program for cardiovascular physicians and surgeons, in partnership with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). Academically, Farzad serves as Associate Director, Lead for Design at Stanford University’s Mussallem Center for Biodesign.
In January of 2025, Farzad was selected to serve as a member of the Board of Directors for the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation.
He previously served as Director of Health at the global design and innovation firm IDEO, and Chief Medical Officer of an American College of Cardiology Foundation and venture capital-backed health technology start-up focused on heart failure.
Farzad completed his training in medicine and cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic and the University of Minnesota / Lillehei Heart Institute respectively, served as Chief Cardiology Fellow and NIH T32 Research Fellow designing and testing advanced cardiovascular technologies, and operated as the St. Jude Medical and Dean’s Innovation Fellow at Stanford Biodesign.
He holds patents and patents pending in the fields of interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, and robotic surgery.

Muriel Babey
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
BioMuriel Babey, M.D. is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Gerontology & Metabolism at Stanford University. She is a physician–scientist who specializes in metabolic bone disease and osteoporosis, with a focus on skeletal health during reproductive transitions and aging, as well as disorders of calcium and parathyroid metabolism.
Originally from Switzerland, Dr. Babey earned her medical degree in Switzerland and completed fellowship training in Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. During her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Holly Ingraham at UCSF, her work focused on identifying CCN3 as a maternal brain–derived osteoanabolic hormone critical for lactation, uncovering a previously unrecognized neuroendocrine axis regulating bone formation and marrow adiposity.
Dr. Babey directs a research program that integrates human cohort studies with mechanistic models to define endocrine pathways coordinating skeletal and metabolic resilience across reproductive transitions and aging. Her work centers on identifying secreted factors and interorgan communication networks that regulate bone health, with the goal of advancing translational strategies for osteoporosis and related metabolic diseases. Her research is supported by an NIH K08 award, and she is a recipient of the Endocrine Society Early Investigator Award and the ASBMR John Haddad Early Investigator Award.
