Edward Pimentel
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioEdward Pimentel is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Prof. Tom Soh. After receiving his BS in Chemistry at BYU and pursuing the total synthesis of a natural product with anticancer activity in the lab of Dr. Merritt Andrus, Edward was the first graduate student in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Martell, where his PhD work centered on using DNA nanostructures to accelerate catalytic reactions and building an ultrahigh-throughput DNA-encoded reaction screening platform. Now as a postdoctoral scholar, his research focuses on applying functional nucleic acids to solve problems in diagnostic and sensing for human health. In addition to his research, Edward is a passionate mentor and has been involved in mentoring programs at every stage of his career. He is now a coordinator for the SURPAS Someone Like Me Peer Mentoring program.

Lisa Pineda
Senior Simulations Specialist, Pediatrics - Neonatology
BioLisa received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Training from San Jose State University, a Master of Science in Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist/Neonatal Emphasis from the University of California San Francisco, and a Post-Graduate Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate from San Francisco State University.
Lisa started her nursing career at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in the Labor and Delivery Unit. It became clear early in her career that research-driven high-quality patient-centered care was integral to her learning and passion for nursing. As a staff nurse, she participated in multiple obstetric simulations at CAPE, and she was immediately drawn to the systematic approach, clear communication, and debriefing process within the simulation methodology. For more than two decades, Lisa’s work has included bedside nursing, advanced practice nursing for women and children, and public health nursing with a particular passion for research dedicated to improving patient outcomes. -
Adam Pines
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioAdam Pines, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow with Drs. Anish Mitra and Nolan Williams, PhD. Adam completed his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Adam’s work centers on neurodevelopment and the role of hierarchical brain function in mood disorder emergence and remission.

Rachyl Leonor Pines
Instructor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioRachyl Pines PhD, focuses on improving the patient experience and increasing provider professional fulfillment through coaching, consults, and communication trainings. Rachyl conducts and oversees research and evaluation to add to the body of knowledge on relationship-centered care and communication in healthcare.
Prior to joining Stanford, Rachyl was a Research Scientist at Cottage Health Research Institute at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where she supported pediatric, behavioral health, population health, women’s services and RN-led research at the hospital. Her other experience includes a brief postdoctoral fellowship with the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation and UCLA, focused on patient education and equity in renal replacement therapies and a Visiting Researcher position with Tufts University School of Medicine. She also serves as an executive officer for the International Association of Language and Social Psychology.
She received her MA and PhD in Communication from University of California, Santa Barbara with a focus in health communication. Her dissertation focused on training healthcare staff to better communicate with aggressive patients to prevent workplace violence. In addition, Rachyl has received grant-funding for international projects about intercultural differences in patient preferences for decision-making power with their providers. -

Sharon Pitteri
Professor (Research) of Radiology (Diagnostic Sciences Laboratory)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Pitteri laboratory is focused on the discovery and validation of proteins that can be used as molecular indicators of risk, diagnosis, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Proteomic technologies, predominantly mass spectrometry, are used to identify proteins in the blood that are differentially regulated and/or post-translationally modified with disease state. Using human plasma samples, tumor tissue, cancer cell lines, and genetically engineered mouse models, the origins of these proteins are being investigated. A major goal of this research is to define novel molecular signatures for breast and ovarian cancers, including particular sub-types of these diseases. This laboratory is also focused on the identification of proteins with expression restricted to the surface of cancer cells which can be used as novel targets for molecular imaging technologies.
