Zaniar Ghazizadeh
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Ghazizadeh is a Cardiac Electrophysiologist at Stanford. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale before moving to Stanford to pursue fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
Dr. Ghazizadeh's clinical interests focus on the management of complex cardiac arrhythmias. His research centers on developing computational and wet-lab platforms to study cardiac electrophysiology and the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmias.
His work integrates a broad range of systems, including human biobanks, genetically engineered human and animal models, and nontraditional model organisms, to uncover the molecular and physiological basis of cardiac arrhythmias. His research has been supported by NIH, AHA, and several Stanford University funding programs. As a clinician-scientist, his long-term goal is to translate these discoveries into improved risk stratification tools and novel therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias. -
Karleen Giannitrapani
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Primary Care and Population Health)
BioIn contrast to bounded teams with static membership, dynamic teaming reflects the common challenge of interdisciplinary healthcare teams with changing rosters. Such dynamic collaboration is critical to addressing multi-faceted problems and individualizing care. At present, off the shelf interventions to improve the way healthcare teams work - often assume static and bounded teams. Dr Giannitrapani intends to leverage design approaches to build a new kind of healthcare “teaming intervention,” which respects the nature of their constantly changing membership and more closely aligns with how healthcare teams actually collaborate. Her expertise includes organizational behavior, building interdisciplinary teams, implementation science, mixed methods-research, quality improvement, pain and palliative care research, and global health.
In addition to the Assistant Professor role in Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine she serves as the quality lead for the section of Palliative Medicine. She is also a Core Investigator at the Center for Innovation to Implementation (Ci2i) in the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and serves as PI or co-investigator on multiple ongoing studies representing over 25 million dollars of competitive government grant funding. She is also a Director of the VA Quality Improvement Resource Center (QuIRC) for Palliative Care, supporting Geriatrics and Extended Care programs for 170 Veterans Affairs facilities nationally. In QuIRC she leads a portfolio of projects on improving the processes that interdisciplinary teams can leverage to improve pain and symptom management among high-risk patients; a specific focus of their work is to bridge the gap of poor palliative care integration in the perioperative period.
Dr Giannitrapani has given hundreds of presentations and have over 70 peer reviewed publications in high quality medical and health services delivery journals such as Medical Care, JAMA Surgery, the Journal of General Internal Medicine, the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management and Pain Medicine. She has received a 5-year VA Career Development Award on building better teams across disciplines and was an American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Research Scholar for related work. -

Bruna Gomes
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Biomedical Data Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe increasing availability of very large datasets, along with recent advances in deep learning based tools for automatic extraction of cardiac traits, has led to the discovery of further common variants associated with cardiac disease. However, the genetic underpinnings of valvular heart disease remains understudied. I am interested in developing deep learning techniques to automatically extract cardiac flow information to facilitate genome-wide association studies of cardiac flow traits.
