Anna L Gloyn
Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAnna's current research projects are focused on the translation of genetic association signals for type 2 diabetes and glycaemic traits into cellular and molecular mechanisms for beta-cell dysfunction and diabetes. Her group uses a variety of complementary approaches, including human genetics, functional genomics, physiology and islet-biology to dissect out the molecular mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis.

Neville H. Golden M.D.
Marron and Mary Elizabeth Kendrick Professor of Pediatrics, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research has focused on the medical complications of adolescents with eating disorders. My specific area of study has been the etiology and implications of amenorrhea in adolescents with eating disorders, in particular the management of reduced bone mass and osteoporosis in anorexia nervosa.

Natalia Gomez-Ospina
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Genetics)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests1. Genome Editing and HSPC-Based Therapeutics
Dr. Gomez-Ospina’s research focuses on developing autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell therapies using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. Her work includes targeted integration of therapeutic transgenes into genomic safe-harbor loci, optimization of editing efficiency and safety, and development of transplantation and conditioning strategies that preserve long-term engraftment. A major goal is to create reusable, mutation-agnostic therapeutic platforms that can be adapted across diseases. Her translational work also extends to GMP manufacturing, analytical development, and IND-enabling studies needed to move genome-edited HSPC products toward clinical trials.
2. Neurometabolic and Neurodegenerative Disease Therapeutics
A major area of interest is the development of definitive therapies for lysosomal storage disorders and other neurogenetic diseases, including MPS I, Gaucher disease, Krabbe disease, progranulin deficiency, and Friedreich’s ataxia. Her laboratory investigates how hematopoietic-derived cells can deliver therapeutic proteins to peripheral tissues and the central nervous system. This includes strategies to enhance microglial replacement, improve CNS engraftment, and harness myeloid cells as therapeutic vehicles. The broader objective is to establish cell-based approaches capable of treating both inherited neurometabolic disorders and more common neurodegenerative diseases.
3. Rare Disease Genetics, Functional Genomics, and Lysosome Biology
Dr. Gomez-Ospina also studies the molecular basis of rare and undiagnosed genetic disorders. Through clinical genetics, international collaborations, and the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Network, her work contributes to novel disease-gene discovery, functional validation of candidate variants, and definition of genotype–phenotype relationships. Her laboratory also investigates lysosomal biology and develops systems-level approaches, including the Lysosome Disease Atlas, to connect lysosome-associated genes with cellular function and human phenotypes. These efforts aim to improve diagnosis while identifying new disease mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.

William Rowland Goodyer, MD/PhD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology)
BioDr. Goodyer is a physician scientist who specializes in Pediatric Cardiology and Electrophysiology. Will graduated from McGill University (Montreal, Canada) with a BSc in Biology prior to completing his graduate studies at Stanford University in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). He subsequently completed residency training in Pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital before returning to Stanford to complete a fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology and advanced fellowship in Pediatric Electrophysiology. He additionally performed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Sean Wu laboratory at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute where he developed the first comprehensive single-cell gene atlas of the entire murine cardiac conduction system (CCS) as well as pioneered the generation of optical imaging agents for the real-time visualization of the CCS to help prevent accidental surgical damage during heart surgeries. Will's lab (www.goodyerlab.com) focuses on basic science advances aimed at the improved diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
