David Cox
Assistant Professor of Genetics and, by courtesy, of Medicine (Hematology)
BioDavid Cox is an Assistant Professor of Genetics and by courtesy of Medicine (Hematology) at Stanford University and Principal Investigator of the Cox Lab (coxlab.bio), which is opening in July 2025. He is also a ChEM-H Institute Scholar and Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator.
He completed his undergraduate studies in biology at Stanford University, where he worked with Irving Weissman on understanding how the innate immune system recognizes cancer cells. He then entered the Harvard-MIT MD-PhD program, earning his MD from the Harvard-MIT program in Health Sciences and Technology (HST) and his PhD in biology from MIT. His doctoral dissertation with Feng Zhang focused on the discovery and development of CRISPR-Cas enzymes as novel DNA and RNA editing tools. During his final year of medical school, he worked as a visiting scientist with David Baker, where he initiated efforts to design sequence-specific DNA binding proteins de novo.
Following medical school, Cox completed internal medicine residency and a clinical fellowship in hematology at Stanford, where he concurrently conducted postdoctoral research in Rhiju Das's lab. In the Das lab, he fine-tuned large language models for RNA structure prediction and developed new methods for highly multiplexed detection of RNA-protein interactions.

Lawrence Crapo
Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism) at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInvestigation of the epidemiology of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at a public hospital. All cases of DKA at SCVMC occurring over the past 5 years have been identified. Of the 480 cases of DKA, about 1/3 are in Type II diabetics, and 2/3 in Type I diabetics. We are exploring the causes of DKA in the two groups.

Meredith Craven, PhD, MPH, RYT
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Craven’s research reflects her background and interests in psychogastroenterology (GI psychology), public health, and positive psychology. She has collaborated on projects across the spectrum of GI disorders, using quantitative and qualitative methods. She is interested in the role of biopsychosocial factors on symptom perception, experience, and related health outcomes and behaviors. In particular, she is passionate about investigating the role of patient strengths that can be fostered clinically, and mind-body practices.

Alia Crum
Associate Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Medicine (Primary Care & Population Health)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab focuses on how subjective mindsets (e.g., thoughts, beliefs and expectations) can alter objective reality through behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms. We are interested in understanding how mindsets affect important outcomes both within and beyond the realm of medicine, in the domains such as exercise, diet and stress. https://mbl.stanford.edu/

Saurabh Dahiya, MD, FACP
Associate Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy)
BioDr. Saurabh Dahiya is a cancer specialist board-certified in internal medicine, hematology, and medical oncology. He serves as Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and Clinical Director of Cell Therapy in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy, where he provides patient-centered care for individuals with cancer.
Dr. Dahiya’s research focuses on advancing cellular immunotherapies for hematologic malignancies, including CAR T-cell platforms and next-generation multiantigen targeting strategies for lymphoma. His work aims to address high tumor bulk disease and develop novel cell therapy approaches that enhance durability and response in hematologic cancers. He leads multiple investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored trials in cellular immunotherapy with a focus on translating correlative research insights into improved patient outcomes.
He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Medicine, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Blood, and Blood Advances. Dr. Dahiya serves as Hematology Lead Editor for Critical Reviews in Oncology and Hematology and is an active member of ASH, ASTCT, and ASCO.
