Euan A. Ashley
Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

Anand Athavale, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - Vascular Surgery
BioDr. Anand Athavale is a board-certified, fellowship-trained vascular medicine specialist with Stanford Health Care Vascular and Endovascular Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Athavale cares for people with conditions of the veins and lymphatic system, including chronic venous disease, blood clots, and poor blood flow in the legs. He is skilled in using less invasive procedures to treat vein problems and helps patients manage their overall vascular health.
His research looks at new and better ways to treat vein disease, test new closure techniques, and use tools such as artificial intelligence to improve care. His research efforts have earned him grants and scholarships from organizations such as the Society for Vascular Medicine and American Venous Forum.
Dr. Athavale has published many studies in peer-reviewed medical journals, including the Journal of Vascular Surgery and Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine. He has also written chapters for medical textbooks on topics such as lung infections and infections related to HIV. Additionally, he has shared his work at major medical conferences in the United States and abroad, including the annual scientific sessions of the Society for Vascular Medicine.
Dr. Athavale is a member of the Society of Vascular Medicine and the American Venous Forum. -
Danielle Francoise Atibalentja, MD, PhD
Instructor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDanielle F Atibalentja received her PhD in Immunology at Washington University in St Louis and her MD at UCSF School of medicine. She trained in Internal medicine at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St Louis and recently completed Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Stanford. Her primary clinical interest is in treating patients with B-cell lymphomas. Her long-term research goals are to better understand B-cell responses in the setting of malignancy to develop immune-based therapies for cancer treatment. She currently studies how the MYC oncogene shapes B-cell and antibody responses during T-cell lymphomagenesis.
