Anca M. Hrastinski, MD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a physician-scientist, neonatologist, and stem cell biologist whose research focuses on understanding mechanisms of human brain development, neuroinflammation, and neurological injury using patient-derived stem cell models.
I was among the early pioneers of three-dimensional human cortical organoid technologies and contributed to development of foundational protocols for generating region-specific human brain organoids from pluripotent stem cells. My work helped establish the feasibility of modeling human brain development and disease using stem cell-derived tissues and has contributed to the widespread adoption of organoid technologies across neuroscience, regenerative medicine, and translational research.
A major focus of my laboratory is the development of increasingly sophisticated multicellular organoid and assembloid systems that incorporate diverse neuronal and glial populations to model complex human brain circuitry and disease processes. We integrate stem cell biology, organoid engineering, CRISPR-based genome editing, single-cell transcriptomics, epigenomics, high-content imaging, and computational approaches to identify disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. These technologies have been applied to studies of hypoxic brain injury, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Trisomy 18, narcolepsy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. -

Robert Hsieh
Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioRobert W. Hsieh, M.D. Ph.D. is a medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney (renal) cancer and testicular cancer as a member of Stanford's multi-disciplinary Urologic Cancer Program. Dr. Hsieh obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Chicago (Pritzker School of Medicine) and subsequently came to Stanford to complete his Internal Medicine residency and Hematology and Oncology fellowship training (with a clinical focus on genitourinary cancers).
Dr. Hsieh has also had extensive experience in basic lab research (cancer stem cells, target identification and validation, pre-clinical drug discovery) having done post-doctoral work in the Clarke Lab in the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. He is currently involved in early phase clinical trials in immuno-oncology in industry. -
