Norman Rizk
Berthold and Belle N. Guggenhime Professor, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the prevention and control of critical care-related illnesses and complications, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, spread of nosocomial infections, and prognosis of multiple organ system failure in intensive care units. Infections and complications of therapy in immunocompromised hosts, including effects of chemotherapy and hematopoetic stem cell transplants is another interest.

Professor-Univ Med Line, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe use genetics and genomics methodologies to identify novel ARDS pathobiology; we hope that this will enable identification of novel biomarkers, phenotypes, and treatments for the disease. We are building a plasma biobank of critically ill patients at Stanford, with a particular focus on metabolic changes in critical illness.

Glenn Rosen
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory examines apoptotic and cell signaling pathways in cancer and lung disease. We are studying signaling pathways that regulate oxidative stress responses and cancer cell growth. Part of these studies focus on analysis of non-canonical transcription regulatory functions of the TERC and Tert components of telomerase in lung disease and cancer.

Stephen Ruoss
Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have an active collaborative project examining basic and clinical aspects of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung infection in non-immune compromised adults. Studies have examined possible cellular immune mechanisms for increased susceptibility to these infections, and are also investigating aspects of optimal diagnosis and treatment. In addition, a clinical and translational research program is investigating the causes and genetic factors underlying the evolution of bronchiectasis.

Husham Sharifi
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
BioI am a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine in Stanford University School of Medicine. In addition to seeing patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), I focus my research and clinical practice on transplant-related pulmonary fibrosis, which includes fibrotic lung disease after lung transplant or after hematopoietic cell transplant. My research applies advanced computational analysis to clinical metadata and quantitative imaging data, domains that draw on my training in engineering and bioinformatics. In the clinical setting I see patients in a Lung Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD) Clinic for individuals with pulmonary complications after life-saving hematopoietic cell transplant. Our clinic is part of a national Lung GVHD Consortium comprising Stanford, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, University of Michigan, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. In this context I am the site co-Principal Investigator for two national clinical trials through the Lung GVHD Consortium that are funded by the National Institutes of Health. The first trial uses a home spirometry device and monitoring system to study the association of Lung GVHD with respiratory viral infections. The second trial studies the diagnostic and prognostic utility of quantitative CT scans of the chest for Lung GVHD. My goal is to fuse detailed, communicative patient care with the advances of data science in medicine that I research and study.
I lead the chest imaging subgroup of the International Lung GVHD Consensus Project, an international effort convening in Geneva in September 2026 to revise the NIH diagnostic criteria for lung GVHD across the lifespan. Our subgroup is responsible for defining the role of chest imaging within those criteria, spanning the diagnostic requirements for CT, low-dose and novel imaging modalities, quantitative and AI-based image analysis, the relationship between imaging and bronchoscopic diagnosis, and the imaging characteristics of interstitial lung disease after transplant.
