Siva Kasinathan
Instructor, Pediatrics - Rheumatology
BioSiva Kasinathan, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist and Instructor of Pediatric Rheumatology at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. In addition to caring for children and young adults with rheumatic diseases in his clinical practice, Siva conducts research to advance the understanding of mechanisms of autoimmunity and autoinflammation.
Siva holds an MD and a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Washington, where he developed high-throughput methods for epigenome profiling and contributed new insights in chromatin biology and gene regulation. During his clinical training in pediatrics and rheumatology at Stanford, he pioneered approaches for single-molecule analysis of genetic variation, DNA methylation, and chromatin structure.
Siva's current research bridges genomics and immunology with a focus on developing and applying sensitive technologies to unravel the genetic and molecular underpinnings of lupus, arthritis, and other disorders of immune regulation. Siva is committed to translating fundamental discoveries into precision therapies and biomarkers to improve outcomes for patients with immune-mediated diseases. -
Aanchal Preet Kaur
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology-Oncology
BioDr. Aanchal Preet Kaur is a post-doctoral fellow in the Ramakrishna lab interested in understanding the role of myeloid cells in driving immunosuppression and resistance to CAR T cell therapies in pediatric patients with diffuse midline glioma. Her work involves developing organoid models to study the interaction of myeloid cells and CAR T cells and further employ these models to validate targets identified in patient single cell sequencing data using CRISPR technology.
Dr. Aanchal Preet Kaur received her PhD in Oncology at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom where she focused on developing dendritic cell vaccines for melanoma. In her earlier post-doctoral work at Providence Cancer Institute with Dr. Michael Gough, she developed spheroid models to study the impact of radiation therapy on immune cell-cancer cell interactions.
