Cynthia Khoo
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Khoo has dedicated her career to the intersection of medical education and global health equity. Fellowship trained in Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine, she has taken on various roles in medical education and currently is the Associate Program Director of Career Development for the Stanford Anesthesia Residency and the Director of Education for the Regional Division. Following a pivotal rotation in Rwanda during residency, Dr. Khoo has been actively engaged as the Co-director of the Division of Global Health Equity, promoting safe and equitable perioperative care. Her initiatives have involved creating educational tools for resource-constrained settings, including ballistic gel simulation phantoms for ultrasound-guided needling practice and Learnly online ultrasound anatomy training modules in partnership with the AIM lab. Her recent work has focused on augmented reality simulations for remote crisis resource management training at Foundation for African Medicine and Education (FAME) hospital in Tanzania, in collaboration with CHARIOT and Invincikids. Dr. Khoo's clinical practice includes specialization in regional, orthopedic, and thoracic anesthesia.

Chaitan Khosla
Wells H. Rauser and Harold M. Petiprin Professor and Professor of Chemistry and, by courtesy, of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch in this laboratory focuses on problems where deep insights into enzymology and metabolism can be harnessed to improve human health.
For the past two decades, we have studied and engineered enzymatic assembly lines called polyketide synthases that catalyze the biosynthesis of structurally complex and medicinally fascinating antibiotics in bacteria. An example of such an assembly line is found in the erythromycin biosynthetic pathway. Our current focus is on understanding the structure and mechanism of this polyketide synthase. At the same time, we are developing methods to decode the vast and growing number of orphan polyketide assembly lines in the sequence databases.
For more than a decade, we have also investigated the pathogenesis of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, with the goal of discovering therapies and related management tools for this widespread but overlooked disease. Ongoing efforts focus on understanding the pivotal role of transglutaminase 2 in triggering the inflammatory response to dietary gluten in the celiac intestine. -

Mathew Kiang
Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health (Epidemiology)
BioI am an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health. My research lies at the intersection of computational epidemiology and social epidemiology. Methodologically, my work revolves around combining disparate data sources in epidemiologically meaningful ways. For example, I work with individual-level, non-health data (e.g., GPS, accelerometer, and other sensor data from smartphones), traditional health data (e.g., survey, health systems, or death certificate data), and third-party data (e.g., cellphone providers or ad-tech data). To do this, I use a variety of methods such as joint Bayesian spatial models, traditional epidemiologic models, dynamical models, microsimulation, and demographic analysis. Substantively, my work focuses on socioeconomic and racial/ethnic inequities. For example, recently, my work has examined inequities in COVID-19 vaccine distribution, cause-specific excess mortality, and drug poisonings. I have an NIDA-funded R00 examining equitable ways to improve treatment for opioid use disorder across structurally disadvantaged groups and am Co-I on a NIDA-funded R21 examining ways to use novel data sources (such as social media) to predict surges in opioid-related mortality.
