Erin C. Sanders, MSN, WHNP-BC
Affiliate, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioEXPERIENCE:
Erin Sanders has been a Nurse Practitioner (NP) since 2013. Most recently, she started a position at the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine joining the Tal Research Group.
Since March 2020, Erin has been actively involved in research regarding SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, as well multiple projects to help address the pandemic in her community, across the United States, and throughout the globe. Erin also worked as a Contact Tracer for Boston University.
Prior to the pandemic, Erin was a Nurse Practitioner at Stanford from May 2016 to August 2019. Originally working in breast oncology, she then took on the role of primary NP for the new Multidisciplinary Pelvic Health Clinic starting in September 2018.
Before Stanford, Erin worked as a NP in a private gynecology practice in Brookline, MA. She has additional experience working as a registered nurse in obstetrics/gynecology, as well as infertility. She has also supported maternal health through an international nursing program partnering with clinicians and patients in the Dominican Republic.
EDUCATION:
Erin received her undergraduate degree from Boston University. She subsequently earned her masters degree in nursing (MSN) from Boston College in the William F. Connell School of Nursing. She completed a year-long internship in obstetrics and gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She then earned her board certification as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-BC).
CLINICAL & RESEARCH INTERESTS
Erin brings a passion for women’s health, postpartum health, pelvic floor disorders, and multidisciplinary care.
Erin has a particular interest in researching sexual dimorphism and sex differences in immune response and disease presentation, specifically in relation to chronic illness, Lyme disease, and Long COVID. She also enjoys teaching and mentoring.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE
My background at Stanford both in breast oncology and in the pelvic health center was in synthesizing complex patients across organ systems and leading multidisciplinary teams. I learned to care for breast oncology patients (managing the plans of medical/surgical/radiation oncologists and multiple subspecialties). Metastatic breast cancer impacts every organ system. My last year at Stanford, I helped lead the brand new multidisciplinary pelvic health clinic, comprised of 7 subspecialties (urology, urogyn, gynecology, colorectal, gastroenterology, pain/anesthesia, and physical therapy). I regularly presented our most complex cases to a team of 10-12 attending surgeons.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I excel at facilitating communication and optimizing collaboration amongst disciplines & specialties, breaking down the silos of medicine, as well as flattening traditional hierarchies to advance science and healthcare forward. I am thrilled to join Dr. Michal Tal in asking probing questions and working with collaborators across disciplines to better understand complex chronic illnesses.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO SARS-CoV-2 & COVID-19
Part of what is preventing faster progress during this pandemic is the massive quantity of data, the speed of scientific discovery, and the scope of people and countries impacted by one disease that has not been seen in our lifetimes.
We have so many questions still to answer, but there is value in asking questions and synthesizing data across disciplines. There is value in connecting the silos in medicine, science, and healthcare. My hope is that COVID-19 is a catalyst for further incorporation of multidisciplinary work. -
Vittorio Sebastiano
Associate Professor (Research) of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive and Stem Cell Biology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe thread of Ariadne that connects germ cells, preimplatation development and pluripotent stem cells is the focus of my research, with a specific interest in human development. My long-term goals are: 1. Understanding the biology of germ cells and and their ability to sustain early preimplantation development; 2. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate very early cell fate decisions in human embryos; 3. Understanding the biology of derivation and maintenance of Pluripotent Stem Cells

Judith Shizuru
Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) and of Pediatrics (Stem Cell Transplantation)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTransplantation of defined populations of allogeneic hematopoietic cells. Specifically, the way in which hematopoietic cell grafts alter antigen specific immune responses to allo-, auto- and viral antigens. The cellular and molecular basis of resistance to engraftment of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells.

Gerlinde Wernig
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFibrotic diseases kill more people than cancer in this country and worldwide. We believe that scar-forming cells called fibroblasts are at the core of the fibrotic response in parenchymal organ fibrosis in the lung, liver, skin, bone marrow and tumor stroma. At the cellular level we think of fibrosis as a step wise process which implicates inflammation and fibrosis. We seek to identify new effective immune therapy targets to treat fibrotic diseases.

Joanna Wysocka
Lorry Lokey Professor and Professor of Developmental Biology
On Leave from 10/18/2021 To 02/04/2022Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe precise and robust regulation of gene expression is a cornerstone for complex biological life. Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding how regulatory information encoded by the genome is integrated with the transcriptional machinery and chromatin context to allow for emergence of form and function during human embryogenesis and evolution, and how perturbations in this process lead to disease.
