Michael S. Fernandopulle
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in PathologyBioMichael Fernandopulle, M.D., Ph.D., is a resident in clinical pathology at Stanford University. During his graduate work at the NIH with Dr. Michael Ward and at Cambridge with Dr. Peter St. George-Hyslop, he uncovered novel pathways for mRNA localization and local protein synthesis in neurons. He is interested in combining biochemistry, metabolism, and high-throughput cell and subcellular profiling technologies to uncover fundamental principles of aging and neurodegeneration, and to apply these discoveries toward novel diagnostics and therapeutics.
Michael holds an Sc.B. in Chemistry from Brown University, an M.D. from Northwestern University, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge, Darwin College. -
Katherine Ferrara
Professor of Radiology (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy focus is image-guided drug and gene delivery and I am engaged in the design of imaging devices, molecularly-targeted imaging probes and engineered delivery vehicles, drawing upon my education in biology and imaging physics and more than 20 years of experience with the synthesis and labeling of therapeutic particles. My laboratory has unique resources for and substantial experience in synthetic chemistry and ultrasound, CT, MR and PET imaging.

Lorenzo Ferrari
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiothoracic Surgery
BioLorenzo Ferrari, PhD, is a biomedical engineer interested in cardiovascular flows, specifically in realizing top benches for in vitro evaluation of cardiac devices. His current postdoctoral research in cardiothoracic surgery focuses on simulating and testing transcatheter valves implanted in the right ventricular outflow tract, working with Doff McElhinney, Daniel Ennis, and Alison Marsden. He obtained his PhD summa cum laude in Biomedical Engineering from University of Bern where he investigated the influence of heart valve design and size under different hemodynamic conditions using particle velocimetry techniques. During his PhD, he performed a secondment at University of Twente, in the Physics of Fluids - Max Planck Center for Complex Fluid, collaborating with Michel Versluis and Guillaume Lajoinie, assessing the stability of flow fields past valve prostheses.

James Ferrell
Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology and of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab has two main goals: to understand the regulation of mitosis and to understand the systems-level logic of simple signaling circuits. We often make use of Xenopus laevis oocytes, eggs, and cell-free extracts for both sorts of study. We also carry out single-cell fluorescence imaging studies on mammalian cell lines. Our experimental work is complemented by computational and theoretical studies aimed at understanding the design principles and recurring themes of regulatory circuits.
