Elizabeth Egan
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.

Susan Payne Etheridge
Adjunct Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioDr. Etheridge is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and electrophysiologist. Since beginning her tenure in Pediatric Cardiology, her research focus has centered on Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) and other genetic disorders leading to sudden death in the young. She directed local and multi-center collaborative projects concerning LQTS, supraventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She has actively participated in multicenter projects of genetic conditions associated with sudden death in the young, including Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), Timothy Syndrome, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden death in athletes, and fetal LQTS. She was the local PI for multicenter projects on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, fetal and nonfetal LQTS, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Timothy Syndrome and CPVT. She is an an invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings where she speaks largely on the genetic susceptibility to sudden death in the young and WPW. She has published book chapters and invited editorials and articles related to heritable sudden death conditions and sports participation and arrhythmias in congential heart disease.
Her experience as a pediatric electrophysiologist, a Fellow in the Heart Rhythm Society, past present of the Pediatric and Congenital Arrhythmia Society, member of the America College of Cardiology Electrophysiology Committee and Vice President of the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Foundation underscores her interest in and service to children and adults with arrhythmic disease. Her years on the American Board of Pediatrics and her past leadership role within the fellowship speak to her dedication to the next generation of pediatric cardiologitsts. Dr. Etheridge created and led the University of Utah Inherited Arrhythmia clinic. This is a collaborative clinic that focuses on children and adults with familial sudden death conditions with input from genetics, adult and pediatric electrophysiology and child psychology. The goal was the pre-symptomatic assessment and sudden death prevention in patients with inherited arrhythmia conditions and care for the child and the entire family. The team followed the nationally defined protocols for this assessment and engage our research, genetics and adult electrophysiology colleagues in this assessment. She is embarking upon a similar role at Stanford University. As the Vice President of the SADS Foundation, she is intimately involved with families with these conditions. She takes part in and has developed educational seminars concerning these conditions as part of her involvement with SADS. She often faces questions concerning sports participation in children and young adults with inherited conditions that put children at risk for sudden death. She is a part of the writing group for a recently published consensus document on return to play with heart conditions from the Heart Rhythm Society, American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
She has dedicated some of her clinical work to the care of adults with arrhytmias in the setting of congenital heart disease and has a clinic for this population in California, Alaska and Idaho. She is scheduled to co-chair the upcoming HRS document on arrhythmia management in adults with congenital heart disease. -
Ryann Fame, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery (Adult Neurosurgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsEarly neural progenitors respond to extrinsic cues that maintain and support their potency. These stem/ progenitor cells are in direct contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as part of their niche. Our research program encompasses the early neural stem cell niche, neural tube closure, CSF, metabolism, and cortical neuronal development. We are dedicated to broad collaboration focused on translating an understanding of neurodevelopment and CSF biology into regenerative strategies.
