Erika Veidis
Human and Planetary Health Program Manager, Primary Care and Population Health
BioErika Veidis is the Planetary Health Program Manager for the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health. Before joining the CIGH team, she spent three years at the Planetary Health Alliance, a non-profit organization housed at Harvard University focused on understanding and addressing the intersections between global environmental challenges and public health. In this role, she managed a global network of universities, NGOs, research institutes, and government entities and led community engagement, outreach, and education efforts. In addition to her work with the PHA, Erika conducted research in environmental economics, with a particular focus on microplastics and grassroots campaigns targeting relevant governmental and corporate policies, and worked in regenerative agriculture in rural Wisconsin. Most recently, Erika helped to launch a project highlighting Indigenous place names across California with the California Institute for Community, Art & Nature. Erika graduated from Harvard in 2015 with a BA in Government and Mind/Brain/Behavior, holds an MBA from Cal Poly, and serves on the board of the Harvard Alumni for Agriculture and Food.

Felipe Vences Catalan
Instructor, Medicine - Oncology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research focuses on understanding the biology of cancer, more specifically how Tetraspanin molecules contribute to the development and spread of cancer. I am also interested in unraveling the interaction of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and how we can use immunotherapy to treat lymphoma and breast cancer aiming towards translational medicine.

Abraham Verghese, MD, MACP
Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interest is in clinical skills and the bedside exam, both in its technical aspects, but also in the importance of the ritual and what is conveyed by the physician's presence and technique at the bedside. This work interests me from an educational point of view, and also from the point of view of ethnographic studies related to rituals and how they transform the patient-physician relationship. Recently we have become interested in medical error as a result of oversights in the bedside exam.

Renu Verma
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Infectious Diseases
BioOne of the key challenges in infectious diseases control is unavailability of rapid and low-cost diagnostics with high specificities and sensitivities. I am a Molecular-microbiologist currently working with Dr. Jason Andrews at the Division of Infectious Diseases. My research primarily focuses on applying novel strategies to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2 in various sample types and environments for treatment and control of TB and COVID-19.
Key Research:
i)Development and validation of molecular viability assays for detection and quantification of novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in COVID-19 patients
ii)Development and validation of a novel aerosol capture tool for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled breath from COVID-19 patients with mild and severe symptoms
iii)Development of a rapid pharmacogenomic assay to detect NAT2 polymorphisms and predict INH acetylation to guide dosing for tuberculosis treatment
iv)Detection of M. tuberculosis in the environment as a novel tool for identifying high-risk locations for tuberculosis transmission
v)Analyzing host serum biomarkers in latent and active Tuberculosis using ELISA assays in patients as a measure of disease severity. -
