Christian Kunder
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main interest is in understanding the biology of human neoplasms, using traditional histopathology, molecular genetic techniques, and other modalities. In particular, I am interested in soft tissue and genitourinary neoplasms, especially prostate cancer.
I am also interested in the classification and nomenclature of neoplasms and in practical research that helps us refine these, using a variety of techniques but still principally guided by histopathology.
I also work on developing next generation sequencing-based tests for genotyping tumors and in expanding the scope of this testing with the goal of identifying patients eligible for novel targeting therapies. -
Masako Lien Petty Le-Maciukiewicz, MD, MSc
Affiliate, Pathology VA Faculty PTAs
BioMy research is centered on neurodegenerative and ocular diseases, with a focus on the unfolded protein response, specifically the PERK pathway. Through my work, I investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying diseases like Alzheimer's and advanced tauopathies, with an emphasis on mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress.
As I continue to deepen my understanding of disease pathology, I am also pursuing a residency in pathology (ECFMG-Certified, AAMC: 14765627), with a particular interest in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Alongside my primary research, I have been involved in a forensic pathology project, applying my skills from my previous studies in forensic science, further exploring my passion for understanding disease processes and the human body through both clinical and investigative lenses.
In addition to my research and forensic work, I have enjoyed shadowing in clinical settings, which has reinforced my commitment to a career in pathology. -
Joseph (Joe) Lipsick

Amy Lo
Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
BioDr. Amy Lo is a pathologist with board certification in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology and molecular genetic pathology. She completed her MD and MS at the University of Illinois at Chicago and her residency in both anatomic and clinical pathology at Northwestern University. She then joined the faculty at Northwestern University as a Clinical Instructor and Advanced Gastrointestinal/Surgical Pathology Fellow. Amy then completed a molecular genetic pathology fellowship at Stanford University.
In 2016, Amy joined Genentech as research pathology scientist supporting drug research and development with a focus in oncology and individualized drug development.
Additionally, Amy continues clinical work as an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor in pathology at Stanford University and Lucille Packard’s Children’s Hospital. -
Jonathan Z. Long
Associate Professor of Pathology
BioDr. Jonathan Long is an Associate Professor of Pathology and an Institute Scholar of Stanford ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health). His laboratory studies signaling pathways in mammalian energy metabolism. The long-term goal of this program is to discover new molecules and pathways that can be translated into therapeutic opportunities for obesity, metabolic disease, and other age-associated chronic diseases. Work from the laboratory has been recognized by numerous awards from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the American Diabetes Association, and the Ono Pharma Foundation. Prior to arriving to Stanford, Dr. Long completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Scripps Research and his postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School.

Alarice Cheng-Yi Lowe
Associate Professor of Pathology
BioDr. Lowe joined the School of Medicine faculty in 2019. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from MIT and her medical degree at UCSD, prior to residency and cytology fellowship at UCLA. In 2011, she joined the faculty at Brigham and Women's Hospital where she developed a research focus on Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and the application of new technology to improve clinical and molecular diagnostics. Clinically, her interests focus on Cytopathology and Genitourinary Pathology.
