Donna Peehl, PhD
Professor (Research) of Urology, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the molecular and cellular biology of the human prostate. Developing realistic experimental models is a major goal, and primary cultures of prostatic epithelial and stromal cells are my main model system. Our discoveries are relevant to prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant prostatic diseases.

Norbert Pelc
Boston Scientific Applied Biomedical Engineering Professor and Professor of Radiology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBroadly, Dr. Pelc is interested in the physics, engineering and mathematics of medical imaging, especially computed tomography, digital x-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and hybrid multimodality systems. His current research is concentrated in the development of computed tomography systems with higher image quality and dose efficiency, in the characterization of system performance, and in the development and validation of new clinical applications.

Gary Peltz
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Department Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe laboratory develops and uses state of the art genomic methods to identify genetic factors affecting disease susceptibility, and to translate these findings into new treatments. We have developed a more efficient method for performing mouse genetic analysis, which has been used to analyze the genetic basis for 16 different biomedical traits. We are developing novel methods, and have developed a novel experimental platform that replaces mouse liver with functioning human liver tissue.

Megan Marie Pendleton
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioMegan Pendleton MD, PhD is a graduate of Stanford Emergency Medicine residency and was a former NASA engineer. She earned her MD from UCSF and prior to this earned her Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, and her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley. Her doctoral research, in collaboration with NASA Ames, examined the effects of spaceflight radiation on the human body, particularly on fracture risk. Before medicine she worked at NASA Johnson Space Center on spacesuit and Orion seat design. She is originally from Austin, Texas.
Her academic interests center on the intersection of space medicine and innovation of translational medical devices. Her work explores how technologies developed for human spaceflight can then be adapted to improve patient care in telehealth, pre-hospital medicine and the Emergency Department. Dr. Pendleton also loves to design visually driven lectures in emergency medicine and developed medicinewithmegan.com, an open-access educational platform featuring high-yield clinical teaching topics.
Outside of medicine, she loves to scuba dive and is a licensed private pilot. Ask her about diving all over the world: Fiji, Thailand, Palau, Cabo Pulmo, Bonaire, Turks, Grand Cayman, Hawaii, Panama, Galapagos. She is always looking for new recommendations and happy to send some as well. -
