Jane Parnes
Professor of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe lab is studying the mechanisms controlling B cell responsiveness and the balance between tolerance and autoimmunity. B cells deficient in CD72 are hyperresponsive to stimulation through the B cell receptor. We are examining the alterations in B cell signaling in these B cells and the mechanisms by which CD72 deficiency partially abrogates anergic tolerance. We hope to learn how deficiency in CD72 leads to spontaneous autoimmunity and increased susceptibility to induced autoimmune disease.

Shyon Parsa
Affiliate, Department Funds
BioShyon earned his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas - Austin, graduating with Honors. He completed coursework in Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena in Living Systems at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University under Clare Hall fellow Dr. Kenneth Diller. After graduation, Shyon enrolled in medical school at UT Southwestern, and graduated with an M.D with Distinction in Research and as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society.
He started his internal medicine residency at Stanford University Hospital in 2023. In 2024, he was awarded a Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Seed Grant for his project "An Artificial Intelligence Approach Utilizing Radiomic-Derived Calcium Features on Calcium Scoring CT (CAC-CT) in Cardiovascular Risk Stratification" (Co-PI). In 2025, he was selected for a Young Investigator Award from the National Lipid Association and named as an American Heart Association Early Career Investigator Award finalist. His works have been highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine AI, Journal of the Academic College of Cardiology, and Journal of the American Heart Association.
His interests include the development of AI-enabled ECG models, the implementation and evaluation of AI tools in clinical workflows, and policy surrounding the responsible use of AI in health systems. He is pursuing a career in cardiology with a focus on electrophysiology, medical device development, and policy. -

Julie Parsonnet
George DeForest Barnett Professor of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an infectious diseases epidemiologist who has done large field studies in both the US and developing countries. We research the long-term consequences of chronic interactions between the human host and the microbial world. My lab has done fundamental work establishing the role of H. pylori in causing disease and understanding its epidemiology. Currently, our research dissects how and when children first encounter microbes and the long term effects of these exposures on health.

Gopanandan Parthasarathy
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioDr Nandan Parthasarathy is a hepatologist and physician-scientist in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford University.
After obtaining his medical degree in JIPMER, India, he completed a 2 year clinical research fellowship at Mayo Clinic, following which he completed his residency training at Cleveland Clinic, and GI and transplant hepatology fellowships at Mayo Clinic. During his fellowship, his research work was focused on exploring the immune mechanisms of liver injury in metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis.
Clinically, he is focused on taking care of patients with MASH, cirrhosis and liver cancer.
His career goal is to study the gut-immune system-liver injury axis in order to bring novel therapeutics from the bench to bedside in patients with liver disease. -
Preethy Parthiban
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioMy research centers on how the innate immune system shapes tissue remodeling in health and disease. During my PhD, I uncovered a key role for resident macrophages in driving cardiac fibrosis, identifying a macrophage-derived chemokine that directly activates cardiac fibroblasts. Building on this foundation, my postdoctoral work at Stanford focuses on neutrophil–macrophage crosstalk in disrupted alveolarization in neonatal mice and patients. By integrating cellular, molecular, and translational approaches, I aim to define how innate immune pathways orchestrate extracellular matrix remodeling. Ultimately, my goal is to identify critical therapeutic targets that improve outcomes in ECM-related diseases.

Akshay Paruchuri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
AI4ALL Graduate Mentor, Stanford Pre-Collegiate StudiesBioI'm a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, advised by Professor Ehsan Adeli. I'm affiliated with the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) Lab and the Stanford Vision and Learning (SVL) Lab. I earned my PhD in computer science at UNC Chapel Hill under the advisement of Professor Henry Fuchs. I build and evaluate multimodal AI systems, from general-purpose methods for interactive computing to applications in healthcare. Currently, I'm working toward a future where multimodal AI can safely and reliably integrate into healthcare systems in order to improve the entire patient journey, from advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical support to all-day health monitoring and management, with the aim to achieve better therapeutic outcomes for cancer and aging-related diseases. I'm generally interested in opportunities that would allow me to continue to deepen my research expertise while leading and working on projects that benefit people everywhere, whether through foundational research, real-world products, or shaping how these systems are evaluated and deployed.
Previously, I was a visiting researcher at IDSIA USI-SUPSI working with Professor Piotr Didyk on the interpretability of multimodal language models (MLMs) with respect to capabilities such as visual perception. I've published in leading venues on topics such as remote health sensing (WACV, NeurIPS), 3D reconstruction (ECCV, MICCAI), LLM-based conversational agents for personal health (EMNLP, Nature Communications), and energy-efficient operation of smart glasses (ISMAR). I've done internships at Google AR/VR, Google Consumer Health Research, and Kitware. -
Josef Parvizi, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
BioDr. Parvizi completed his medical internship at Mayo Clinic, neurology training at Harvard, and subspecialty training in clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy at UCLA before joining the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford in 2007. Dr. Parvizi directs the Stanford Program for Medication Resistant Epilepsies and specializes in surgical treatments of intractable focal epilepsies. Dr. Parvizi is the principal investigator in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, where he leads a team of investigators to study the human brain. http://med.stanford.edu/parvizi-lab.html.
