Nazish Sayed MD, PhD
Associate Professor (Research) of Surgery (Vascular Surgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Sayed Laboratory is focused on the development of novel technologies that drive innovation in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug testing in vascular biology. The lab conducts translational research in vascular biology and aims to understand the role of the vasculature in the development of cardiac diseases, including those due to inherited genetic variants or environmental insults such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension. The lab employs the human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to generate patient-specific vascular cells (endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells) as an alternative to animal models providing a human tissue surrogate for research that is scalable and sustainable. By employing this unique platform, the lab also investigates the role of chemotherapeutic agents (anti-cancer drugs) on the vasculature. Dr. Sayed’s lab has also established an endothelial regeneration program, where they leverage the innate immune system to regenerate endothelial cells from human fibroblasts.
Work from the lab has led to seminal discoveries in the areas of 1) Nitric oxide (NO) biology, (2) vascular biology, (3) stem cell biology, (4) cardiovascular disease modeling (5) cardio-oncology. -
Michael Scahill
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Neonatology
BioOn a trip to Mozambique while in med school here at Stanford, Dr Scahill saw the power of market interventions to transform healthcare. This led to his current focus on technology, data & AI. A veteran data scientist, his research trawls the oceans of data each patient generates for patterns to predict dangerous outcomes before they happen in Stanford's top level NICU, where he also still serves as a frontline clinician. Outside Stanford, he is the digital lead at Valley Children's hospital and advises health technology startups in Silicon Valley and beyond.
