Megan Marie Pendleton
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioMegan Pendleton MD, PhD is a graduate of Stanford Emergency Medicine residency and was a former NASA engineer. She earned her MD from UCSF and prior to this earned her Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, and her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley. Her doctoral research, in collaboration with NASA Ames, examined the effects of spaceflight radiation on the human body, particularly on fracture risk. Before medicine she worked at NASA Johnson Space Center on spacesuit and Orion seat design. She is originally from Austin, Texas.
Her academic interests center on the intersection of space medicine and innovation of translational medical devices. Her work explores how technologies developed for human spaceflight can then be adapted to improve patient care in telehealth, pre-hospital medicine and the Emergency Department. Dr. Pendleton also loves to design visually driven lectures in emergency medicine and developed medicinewithmegan.com, an open-access educational platform featuring high-yield clinical teaching topics.
Outside of medicine, she loves to scuba dive and is a licensed private pilot. Ask her about diving all over the world: Fiji, Thailand, Palau, Cabo Pulmo, Bonaire, Turks, Grand Cayman, Hawaii, Panama, Galapagos. She is always looking for new recommendations and happy to send some as well. -

Deanna Pepin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioHey there! I was born in the small town of Selkirk, Manitoba, but lived most of my life in Edmonton, Alberta. I completed my Bachelor of Science at Kings University, focusing on biology and did undergrad research on Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs - bacteria that degrade petrochemicals. Following graduation, I became a Research Technician with Exciton Technologies Inc., a research and development company producing silver-based wound care products for treating infections. In 2016, I joined Dr. Benjamin Willing’s lab in Agriculture, Food, and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Alberta and completed a Master of Science focusing on how certain husbandry changes impact the development of the gastrointestinal microbiota, Salmonella infection resistance, and immune response in broiler production. In 2024, I completed my PhD in the department of Microbiology & Immunology at UBC, working with Dr. Carolina Tropini to understand the impact of osmotic stress on the gut microbiome.

Jon-Paul Pepper, MD
Associate Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
On Leave from 2026-07-27 To 2026-08-31Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFacial paralysis is a debilitating condition that affects thousands of people. Despite excellent surgical technique, we are currently limited by the regenerative capacity of the body. The mission of our research is to identify new treatments that improve current facial paralysis treatments. We do this by exploring the regenerative cues that the body uses to restore tissue after nerve injury, in particular through pathways of neurogenesis and nerve repair in small mammals.

Jack Percelay
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics
BioJack Percelay has a 25+ year career in pediatric hospital medicine, beginning before the term hospitalist was invented when he started as an "in-house pediatrician in 1991 at several Bay Area hospitals after a brief career as a civilian primary care pediatrician at local and international US military bases. He has spent the majority of his career in community hospitals where his practice has run the gamut from the general pediatric ward and emergency room, to the PICU and intensive care nurseries, delivery room, and specialized neurologic and neurosurgical units. His work has taken him from San Francisco to New York City with brief stints in Hawaii. In 2015 he moved to Seattle Children's Hospital where he was an Associate Division Chief of Hospital Medicine, and in 2018 returned to the Bay Area joining the Stanford faculty.
He served as the founding chair of the AAP Section on Hospital Medicine, and has also served as the Chair of the AAP Committee on Hospital Care. He served for seven years as the pediatric board member for the Society of Hospital Medicine and has been recognized as a Master of Hospital Medicine by SHM. Additionally, he was an inaugural board member of the American Board of Pediatrics Pediatric Hospital Medicine Subspecialty Board. Areas of interest include pediatric hospital medicine systems of care, patient and family-centered care, BRUEs, billing and coding, and hospitalist roles in the PICU. -
