Maria Juarez-Reyes
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Juarez-Reyes received her PhD in Health Psychology, MD and Internal Medicine residency training from the University of California at San Francisco. Her focus during medical training was in Behavioral Medicine. In 2010, she became board certified in Integrative Medicine through American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. She is currently a Clinical
Associate Professor in the Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Department of Medicine, Stanford University. She is currently the Director of Behavioral Health Group Medical Visits and serves as Site Director for Internal Medicine Residency program at Stanford. She developed “Beyond Stress”, a six-week group intervention for patients with stress, anxiety, and depression. This intervention has now been translated into Spanish, Mas Alla del Estres, and it is delivered to community based Spanish speaking cancer patients.
Her current research evaluates integrative behavioral health group medical visits and the relationship to anxiety, depression, burnout, and sleep in primary care and Spanish speaking community-based populations. Previous health disparities research includes tobacco cessation practices of community-based providers, breast cancer screening follow-up in Latinx women, Latinx adolescent reproductive behavior, medication eligibility criteria effects in ethnic subgroups, and TB treatment in urban county jails. She enjoys travel, walking with friends, anything science fiction and spending time with her family. -
Patrick Jurney
Affiliate, Chemical and Systems Biology Operations
Visiting Scholar, Chemical and Systems Biology OperationsBioPatrick Jurney is the Kordestani Endowed Chair and an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at San Jose State University. A Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA), his research focuses on the intersection of fluid dynamics and cellular mechanics, with a particular emphasis on cardiovascular health and disease..
Dr. Jurney completed his Ph.D. in Thermal Fluid Systems at the University of Texas at Austin, where he designed and built microphysiological systems to investigate the role of nanoparticle properties in targeted drug delivery. Following his doctoral studies, he was a T-32 Fellow in Translational Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). During his fellowship, he worked with cardiovascular biomaterials and characterized how biomaterial properties influence endothelialization and thrombogenesis.
Currently, his research laboratory at SJSU investigates the role of fluid shear stress mechanotransduction on endothelial metabolic structure and function. Dr. Jurney is a pioneer in using holotomographic microscopy to study sub-cellular organelles in cardiovascular disease. He is also collaborating in the laboratory of Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen to characterize the role of mitochondrial structure and dynamics in metabolic function in response to ischemia/reperfusion and other models of cardiovascular health and disease.

Prerak Juthani
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine
BioPrerak Juthani is a Bay Area native and completed his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, where he graduated summa cum laude and double-majored in Molecular Biology and Public Health. He then went on to Yale where he was able to bridge his love of medicine and entrepreneurship by completing the joint MD-MBA program. Afterward, he was lucky enough to come back home to complete his Internal Medicine residency at Stanford.
He is fascinated by medicine and how all the organ systems come together to create the human experience. He conducts research related to clinical outcomes in patients with Diabetic Foot Infections and also participates in various quality improvement initiatives in the hospital. Specifically, he is the co-founder of "The Kindness Coalition," which works to foster kindness among healthcare workers in order to create a more inclusive and collaborative healthcare environment.
Outside of the hospital, Prerak has a Youtube channel where he creates videos to increase transparency of what it’s like to be a medical student and resident; he also has a podcast called Red, White & Brown, which provides an insight into the novel immigrant experiences of first-generation South Asian immigrants. He is an active runner/marathoner, avid reader, and proud dog dad. -
