Robertson Parkman
Other Teaching Staff-Hourly, Pediatrics - Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy principal research interests have been the assessment of the immunological consequences of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including both acute and chronic graft versus host disease and immune reconstitution and the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat genetic diseases. My laboratory was the first to suggest that chronic graft versus host disease was an autoimmune disease directed at histocompatibility antigens shared by donors and recipients. The observation leaded to the assessment of the role of thymic dysfunction in the pathogenesis of chronic graft versus host disease. As a pediatric immunologist I have investigated the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation initially in the treatment of primary immune deficiency diseases and later the treatment of metabolic diseases, which lead to my involvement in the early gene transfer clinical trials.

Ugur Parlatan
Basic Life Research Scientist, Rad/Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection
BioDr. Ugur Parlatan is a Basic Life Research Scientist at the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection. Trained as a physicist, he leads photonics laboratory activities and develops optical spectroscopy and imaging approaches for molecular fingerprinting and characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs). His work includes designing and optimizing measurement workflows, analyzing EV signatures from biomedical samples, and supporting disease-focused studies across cancer and metabolic conditions (including lung cancer, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and hepatotoxicity). He also mentors trainees (including NIH CREST program interns) and contributes to manuscripts and grant applications.
