Jeffrey Peng, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor (Affiliated), Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Peng is a board-certified specialist in sports medicine and family medicine. He provides care for athletes of all ages and enjoys helping everyday patients achieve and sustain a healthy, active lifestyle. His expertise includes orthobiologics, such as platelet-rich plasma, and ultrasound-guided minimally invasive techniques to treat osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Outside of work, Dr. Peng enjoys reading, exercising, cooking, spending time with his wife, and creating fun mischief with his daughter and son. He is also fluent in Mandarin. -
Mark E. Pepin, MD, MS, PhD
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular MedicineBioDr. Mark Pepin is a clinical fellow within the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiovascular Research Institute at Stanford University Hospital. Born and homeschooled in rural South Carolina, he received a BS in chemical engineering at Clemson University, where he also competed on the NCAA Division 1 Cross Country and Track teams as a distance runner. He completed an MS in biomedical engineering at UC Davis, followed by an MD-PhD at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Before entering residency training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dr. Pepin was awarded the Humboldt postdoctoral research fellowship to conduct research in Heidelberg, Germany where he studied myocardial epigenetics and metabolism in the context of cardiometabolic heart failure. He has received research funding through the NIH/NHLBI, German Cardiac Society (DGK), and German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). As a physician-scientist, Dr. Pepin aims to identify and leverage the epigenetic basis of cardiovascular disease to reverse its inherited and acquired forms. In his free time, he enjoys carpentry, running, and exploring the outdoors with his wife and their four children.

Marco Perez
Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Marco Perez's research goal is to better understand the fundamental causes of cardiovascular disease through the study of genetics and epidemiology. His group studies the genetic variations and environmental exposures that are associated with conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. He has led the studies of atrial fibrillation in Women's Health Initiative, one of the largest nation-wide population-based cohorts. He is currently conducting a large study monitoring for silent or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in women from the WHI randomized to exercise intervention, and was co-PI of the Apple Heart Study, a clinical trial that validated the ability of a smartwatch to detect atrial fibrillation. He is now PI of the Clinical Coordinating Center at Stanford for the REACT-AF which is a clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a "pill-in-the pocket" approach to anticoagulation for AF using a smartwatch. He is interested in understanding the paradox that atrial fibrillation is less common in African Americans and Hispanics, despite a greater burden of risk factors such as hypertension. As director of the Stanford Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic, he evaluates families with rare inherited arrhythmias associated with sudden death such as Long QT and Brugada Syndromes and explores their links with novel genes. He also studies the genetic causes of very early onset atrial fibrillation. He also studies how best to use the electrocardiogram and imaging modalities using Machine Learning techniques to identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. Dr. Perez receives funding from the NIH/NHLBI, Apple Inc., Janssen and the Colson Foundation.

Alexander C. Perino
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioAlexander C. Perino MD is a cardiac electrophysiologist, clinical informaticist, and cardiovascular researcher. In his clinical role, Dr. Perino treats patients with heart rhythm disorders at Stanford Health Care, performing catheter ablations and cardiac device implantations. In addition to complex ablation (e.g., atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia ablation), Dr. Perino has expertise implanting leadless pacemakers, subcutaneous ICDs, and conduction system pacing leads (i.e., His bundle and left bundle branch area pacing leads). Dr. Perino is the medical informatics director for the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford Health Care, providing informatics direction to improve 1) the quality and safety of cardiovascular care delivery and 2) patient and clinician experience derived from the electronic health record and related information and communication technologies. As a cardiovascular researcher, Dr. Perino uses large datasets to examine quality of care, outcomes, and risk prediction for heart rhythm disorders and cardiovascular disease.
