Aaron Hsueh
Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive and Stem Cell Biology), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHormonal regulation of ovarian function; gonadotropin receptors and related genes, bioinformatic ananlyses of polypeptide hormones and receptors, follicle recruitment and GDF-9; analysis of oocyte and ovarian-expressed genes.

Ngan F. Huang
Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery (Cardiothoracic Surgery Research) and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Huang's laboratory aims to understand the chemical and mechanical interactions between extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and pluripotent stem cells that regulate vascular and myogenic differentiation. The fundamental insights of cell-matrix interactions are applied towards stem cell-based therapies with respect to improving cell survival and regenerative capacity, as well as engineered vascularized tissues for therapeutic transplantation.

Michelle Huffaker, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
BioDr. Michelle Huffaker is a board-certified, fellowship-trained allergist and immunologist with Stanford Health Care. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Huffaker specializes in diagnosing and treating allergies and health conditions that affect the immune system. She is particularly interested in asthma, food allergies, and allergic rhinitis.
Dr. Huffaker’s research is focused on treatments that achieve long-lasting remission for allergic and immunologic diseases, such as food allergies and allergic rhinitis. Dr. Huffaker is the director of clinical and translational medicine for the allergy portfolio of the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN), a clinical research consortium funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The ITN focuses on achieving immune tolerance in conditions where the body attacks healthy cells (immune-mediated diseases). Dr. Huffaker leads the development, conduct, and analysis of ITN clinical trials.
Dr. Huffaker has published her research in peer-reviewed journals, such as Allergy, The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and World Allergy Organization Journal. She has presented to her peers at international, national, and regional meetings, including those of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI), and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI).
Dr. Huffaker is a fellow of AAAAI and a member of AAAAI, EAACI, and the Western Society of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. -
Lynne C. Huffman
Professor (Teaching) of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics), Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests and activities include (1) shared decision-making in clinical care; (2) medical education research; (3) the early identification and treatment of behavioral problems, particularly in children with special health care needs; and (4) community-based mental health/educational program evaluation and outcomes measurement.

John Huguenard
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Neurology Research), of Neurosurgery (Adult Neurosurgery) and, by courtesy, of Molecular and Cellular Physiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are interested in the neuronal mechanisms that underlie synchronous oscillatory activity in the thalamus, cortex and the massively interconnected thalamocortical system. Such oscillations are related to cognitive processes, normal sleep activities and certain forms of epilepsy. Our approach is an analysis of the discrete components (cells, synapses, microcircuits) that make up thalamic and cortical circuits, and reconstitution of components into in silico computational networks.

Wouter Huiting
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical and Systems Biology
BioWouter received his training at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Here he obtained a B.Sc.and M.Sc. in Human Movement Sciences (2008-2015), followed by a M.Sc. in Clinical and Molecular Neurosciences (2014-2016). He performed his doctoral research at the University of Groningen, obtaining his PhD degree in Molecular Cell Biology in 2021. Wouter continued his research in 2022 with a position as postdoctoral scholar at the Jarosz lab, at the department of Chemical and Systems Biology. Here he pursues his interest in the molecular forces underlying proteomic adaptation of cells and systems in development and disease. Outside of Stanford, Wouter is an avid sportsman, and likes cooking, hiking, birding, and in general loves to enjoy nature and wildlife with his wife and son.

Noor A. Hussein
Postdoctoral Scholar, Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current work aims to increase the understanding of pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric disorder (PANS) disease mechanism and to improve the treatment options. It focuses on studying the alteration of regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are key inhibitors of autoimmunity and main regulator of inflammation, in PANS.

Duc Tan Huynh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioAs a cell biologist interested in neuroscience, I am fascinated about the molecular basis of nervous system disorders that reveal therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers. My long-term research goal is to identify strategies that revert dysregulation in aging or neurodegeneration. For my postdoctoral training in the Zuchero lab (Neurosurgery), I will investigate how myelination, an essential developmental process, contributes to intelligence and neurodegeneration at the biochemical, cellular, and physiological level. I received my BSc at UCLA and my PhD at Duke University.
