Safwan Jaradeh, MD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical interests include autonomic disorders, small fiber neuropathies and the development of effective methods of testing and treating these disorders. Prior work has focused on small fiber painful and autonomic neuropathies; syndromes of orthostatic intolerance and syncope; gastrointestinal motility dysfunction; cyclic vomiting; protacted Gastroesophageal Reflux; non-allergic rhinitis syndromes; and the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and normal or abnormal sleep. Additional areas of interest include the neurology of phonation and swallowing disorders, and peripheral nerve injury and repair.

Ted Jardetzky
Professor of Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Jardetzky laboratory is studying the structures and mechanisms of macromolecular complexes important in viral pathogenesis, allergic hypersensitivities and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation, with an interest in uncovering novel conceptual approaches to intervening in disease processes. Ongoing research projects include studies of paramyxovirus and herpesvirus entry mechanisms, IgE-receptor structure and function and TGF-beta ligand signaling pathways.

Daniel Jarosz
Associate Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology and of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory studies conformational switches in evolution, disease, and development. We focus on how molecular chaperones, proteins that help other biomolecules to fold, affect the phenotypic output of genetic variation. To do so we combine classical biochemistry and genetics with systems-level approaches. Ultimately we seek to understand how homeostatic mechanisms influence the acquisition of biological novelty and identify means of manipulating them for therapeutic and biosynthetic benefit.

Behnaz Jarrahi
Instructor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Behnaz Jarrahi is a neuroscientist specializing in neuroimaging, with expertise in data analysis, modeling, and research design. She earned a Master of Science in Management from Stanford and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH. Prior to that, she completed a bachelor's and a master's degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan and multiple bachelor’s degrees in mathematics, chemistry, and brain science with honors. Her passion for studying the brain led her to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship at the UCLA Semel Institute for Human Neuroscience and Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Jarrahi currently serves as an instructor and principal investigator at Stanford, where she leads an NIH-funded research project.
