    Alex Gileles-Hillel, MD

    Visiting Scholar, Pediatrics - Pulmonary Medicine

    BioAlex Gileles-Hillel, MD, ATSF, is a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep medicine physician at Hadassah Medical Center and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He directs the Neonatal Pulmonology Service at Hadassah and is a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University for 2026–27. His clinical interests include pediatric sleep-disordered breathing, chronic lung disease of prematurity, asthma, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and complex respiratory disorders in infants and children.

    Dr. Gileles-Hillel completed his medical training, pediatric residency, and pediatric pulmonology fellowship at the Hebrew University–Hadassah Medical Center. He then completed advanced fellowship training in sleep medicine at the University of Chicago under David Gozal, followed by postdoctoral training in vascular biology at the Hebrew University. He is the founder and director of the Gileles Lab, where his group investigates the mechanisms and consequences of obstructive sleep apnea and intermittent hypoxia, including cardiometabolic dysfunction, vascular injury, and cancer progression. The lab also develops human-derived airway organoid models to study asthma, cystic fibrosis, and primary ciliary dyskinesia, with the goal of translating mechanistic insights into improved care for children with respiratory disease.

    Rachel Gilgoff

    Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics - Allergy and Clinical Immunology

    BioAs a board-certified general pediatrician, child abuse pediatrician, and integrative medicine specialist, Dr. Gilgoff brings a multidisciplinary, whole-family approach to ACEs, toxic stress, healing, and well-being. She is currently an advisor with the California Aces Aware Initiative, UCLA-UCSF ACEs Aware Family Resilience Network (UCAAN), and the Center for Youth Wellness, a program of Safe and Sound, as well as an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is the co-founder of the National Committee on Asthma and Toxic Stress and co-PI on “Systems-based, Multidisciplinary Assessment of Adversity and Toxic Stress for Individualized Care (The SYSTEMAATIC Project),” an ACEs and Precision Medicine research project through the California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine (CIAPM). She co-created the “Stress Busters: Clinical Strategies for Preventing and Mitigating Toxic Stress,” a free, on-line course to help clinicians develop their clinical response to childhood adversity and toxic stress. In tandem, she led the development of the ACEs Aware Stress Busters Resource Webpage, sharing tools and resources to prevent and heal toxic stress for all of us. Dr. Gilgoff is dedicated to conducting translational research and promoting patient-centered, individualized, multidisciplinary clinical care to address health issues resulting from child abuse and toxic stress.

    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.
