Alicia Mirza
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
BioDr. Alicia Mirza is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine. She is now an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine (PACCM) at Stanford, where she serves as Associate Director of the Adult Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Program.
She has expertise across a breadth of pulmonary and intensive care domains, with her clinical and research interests centering on CF and bronchiectasis. She is a CF Foundation (CFF) Program for Adult Care Excellence grant awardee. She has worked on quality improvement projects in adult CF care, including initiatives in advanced care planning, pediatric to adult transitions, primary care utilization, and remote monitoring. She is involved in clinical trials as well as registry-based research in both CF and non-CF bronchiectasis.
Nationally, Dr. Mirza was elected to the CHEST Bronchiectasis Network, where she collaborates with experts across the country to expand education in bronchiectasis through podcasts, training modules, and lectures. An active educator, Dr. Mirza teaches Stanford medical students, residents, and fellows. She is engaged both locally and internationally through conference presentations at CHEST, California Thoracic Society, and the North American CF Conference.
She also serves as Co-director of Wellbeing for Stanford PACCM, where she is committed to advancing faculty wellness and fostering a culture of professional fulfillment. In both her clinical and academic work, she emphasizes a holistic approach to supporting patients and colleagues alike, with attention to the whole person and the systems that sustain their health and wellbeing. -
Maneesh Kumar Misra
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research goal is to utilize the cutting edge of stat of art histocompatibility testing to better understand the humoral and cellular responses in clinical transplantation, and to translate this knowledge into improved treatment, and transplant outcome.

Daria Mochly-Rosen
George D. Smith Professor of Translational Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTwo areas: 1. Using rationally-designed peptide inhibitors to study protein-protein interactions in cell signaling. Focus: protein kinase C in heart and large GTPases regulating mitochondrial dynamics in neurodegdenration. 2. Using small molecules (identified in a high throughput screens and synthetic chemistry) as activators and inhibitors of aldehyde dehydrogenases, a family of detoxifying enzymes, and glucose-6-phoshate dehydrogenase, in normal cells and in models of human diseases.

Everett J. Moding, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation Therapy)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory performs translational research using analysis of human samples to identify critical mediators of treatment resistance that can be validated in preclinical models and targeted to enhance the efficacy of cancer therapy.

Matteo Amitaba Mole'
Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive, Perinatal & Stem Cell Biology Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how the human embryo implants inside the maternal uterine tissue to establish a healthy pregnancy and the underlying maternal-embryo communication.

Denise M. Monack
Martha Meier Weiland Professor in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe primary focus of my research is to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms of intracellular bacterial pathogenesis. We use several model systems to study complex host-pathogen interactions in the gut and in immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Ultimately we would like to understand how Salmonella persists within certain hosts for years in the face of a robust immune response.

Michelle Monje
Milan Gambhir Professor of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery, of Pediatrics, of Pathology and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Monje Lab studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of postnatal neurodevelopment. This includes microenvironmental influences on neural precursor cell fate choice in normal neurodevelopment and in disease states.

Maria Emilia Montez Rath
Assistant Professor (Research) of Medicine (Nephrology)
BioDr. Montez-Rath completed her PhD in Biostatistics from Boston University in 2008 focusing on methods for modeling interaction effects in studies involving populations with high levels of comorbidity, such as persons on dialysis. She is a senior biostatistician and director of the Biostatistics Core of the Division of Nephrology at Stanford University where she has been collaborating with faculty and fellows since 2010 to study a variety of research questions relevant to kidney disease. Her methodological interests are mainly data-driven and include the handling of missing data, survival analysis with an emphasis on models for time-varying covariates and competing risks, methods for analyzing epidemiologic studies, analysis of correlated data and comparative effectiveness studies, as well as data visualization.

Stephen B. Montgomery
Stanford Medicine Professor of Pathology, Professor of Genetics and of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe focus on understanding the effects of genome variation on cellular phenotypes and cellular modeling of disease through genomic approaches such as next generation RNA sequencing in combination with developing and utilizing state-of-the-art bioinformatics and statistical genetics approaches.
