Mark S. Blumenkranz, MD, MMS
H. J. Smead Professor of Ophthalmology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical Interest and Research
My primary areas of interest are in the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of vitreal retinal diseases. These principally include age-related macular degeneration and other diseases of the macula, and tractional syndromes, diabetic retinopathy, and complex forms of retinal detachment. I have been interested in the development of novel technology to diagnose and treat these diseases, including new forms of imaging, laser delivery systems, other microsurgical tools, and new drugs and drug delivery systems that inhibit new blood vessel growth, scarring and intraocular inflammation. I have been actively involved in translational research in the laboratory as well as technology transfer associated with that research for a variety of new therapies that have received FDA clearance and been introduced into clinical practice over the past 30 years.
Administrative and Community Service
I have served on the Board of Directors of a variety of voluntary education and service organizations, including the Corporation of Brown University, multiple scientific advisory boards and various philanthropic and research organizations. -

Alexandria Boehm
Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor of Environmental Studies, Professor of Oceans and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioI am interested in pathogens in the environment including their sources, fate, and transport in natural and engineered systems. I am interested in understanding of how pathogens are transmitted to humans through contact with water, feces, and contaminated surfaces. My research is focused on key problems in both developed and developing countries with the overarching goal of designing and testing novel interventions and technologies for reducing the burden of disease.
I am also interested broadly in coastal water quality where my work addresses the sources, transformation, transport, and ecology of biocolloids - specifically fecal indicator organisms, DNA, pathogens, and phytoplankton - as well as sources and fate of nitrogen. This knowledge is crucial to formulating new management policies and engineering practices that protect human and ecosystem health at the coastal margins. -

Brian Boitnott
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Physics, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am currently a Biomedical Physics PhD candidate in the Department of Radiology. In the two years prior to Stanford, I was at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I worked on remote sensing systems and was on the core team developing a laser-ultrasound system for medical imaging.
My interests revolve around health technology and perception. I started in neuroscience, studying attention and cognitive control, and now work on designing systems and algorithms for sensing and processing biomedical signals. My broader interests are at the intersection between emerging technology innovation, translation, and long-term innovation strategy. -
MacKenzie Bolen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. MacKenzie “Mack” Bolen’s defining research passion is to leverage accessible and modifiable lifestyle factors to mitigate neurodegenerative risk. During her undergraduate education at Austin College in Texas, she began pursuing her interest in neurodegeneration by conducting research focused on the neuroprotective benefits of the ketogenic diet. This work evolved into an honors thesis investigating markers of inflammation in saliva from contact sport athletes and culminated in a TEDx talk on sports-related brain injuries. These experiences cemented her desire to understand the minutiae of the brain and catalyzed her decision to pursue a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Florida (UF). During Mack’s training under Dr. MG. Tansey at UF, her dissertation work generated global collaborations centered on a multiomic approach that leverages machine learning to identify peripheral biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets to slow the onset or progression of Parkinson’s disease. A hallmark of Mack’s career has been participating in collaborative team science and mentorship of the next generation of scientists, where she has consistently mentored advanced and budding scientists within the Gainesville community and collaborated on several manuscripts from labs across the nation. In addition to her scholarly work, she regularly volunteered at the UF Neuromedicine Intensive Care Unit (Neuro ICU) while pursuing her Ph.D. to better understand the clinical perspective of neurodegeneration.
By blending her Ph.D. training and experiences in the Neuro ICU, Mack hopes to actively improve the treatment of individuals living with neurodegeneration and continue to push the frontier of medicine as a postdoctoral scholar in Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford. Now under the mentorship of Dr. K. Poston, Mack will continue to access essential training at the intersection of immunology and Parkinson’s disease, via the investigation of the gut-brain axis. As a former collegiate soccer player, Mack loves to pretend to relive her glory days during rec-league on the weekends and can also be found struggling through a Yin yoga class. -

Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on the autonomic nervous system as a modifiable determinant of physiological resilience and recovery across acute and chronic disease states. I investigate sympathetic modulation as a therapeutic strategy, examining how regional anesthetic and neuromodulation techniques, including cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, influence cerebral perfusion, cardiovascular regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and functional outcomes.
Through the integration of clinical trials, translational human physiology, and advanced physiologic monitoring, my work seeks to elucidate mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction and to develop evidence-based neuromodulation approaches for conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID). The long-term objective of this research is to advance interdisciplinary models of care and to translate autonomic science into therapeutic strategies that improve long-term patient outcomes. -
