Victor G. Carrión
John A. Turner Endowed Professor for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsExamines the interplay between brain development and stress vulnerability via a multi-method approach that includes psychophysiology, neuroimaging, neuroendocrinology and phenomenology. Treatment development that focuses on individual and community-based interventions for stress related conditions in children and adolescents that experience traumatic stress.

Thomas Caruso
Clinical Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research pursuits are focused on system based improvement projects. At Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, I use system based approaches to improve the quality of care patients receive in the perioperative area and in the ICUs, with a focus on safe transitions of care. Through the Department of Graduate Medical Education at Stanford School of Medicine, I advise residency and fellowship programs on evidence based methods to improve their programs, with a focus on mentorship.

Alma-Martina Cepika
Assistant Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
BioDr. Cepika is an immunologist with an extensive background in human immunology, genomics, and translational research. Her goal is to understand the mechanisms governing immune tolerance, and leverage this knowledge towards developing new therapies.
Dr. Cepika received her MD degree and a PhD in Immunology from the University of Zagreb School of Medicine in Croatia. There, she focused on the immunomonitoring of patients with lupus, identifying how circulating DNA levels changed with therapy. For her post-doctoral fellowship, she joined the lab of Dr. Virginia Pascual at the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research in Dallas, Texas. There, Dr. Cepika developed a multi-pronged in vitro stimulation assay, called the Tollgene assay, to evaluate the phenotype and function of blood leukocytes in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). In combination with integrated bioinformatics analysis, this approach identified that sJIA patients have hyper-reactive monocytes, which primarily differentiate into macrophages rather than dendritic cells due to low expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
As an Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford, Dr. Cepika worked with Dr. Maria Grazia Roncarolo to investigate the biology and clinical applications of human inducible regulatory T cells (Tregs) called type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells. As well, she has spearheaded the efforts to understand the resistance of human leukemia cells to T cell killing.
Dr. Cepika's laboratory in the Department of Surgery will continue exploring the pathogenesis of human autoinflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the biology of human Tregs in the tumor microenvironment, and the role Tregs play in resistance to cancer immunotherapy. -
