Sally Arai
Associate Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interest in utilizing post-transplant adoptive cellular immunotherapy to reduce GVHD and relapse in patients with high risk hematologic malignancies.

Wes (Janice) Brown
Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
On Partial Leave from 04/15/2020 To 04/14/2021BioDr. Janice (Wes) Brown specializes in the treatment of infectious complications that occur in patients who are receiving cancer treatments or are undergoing transplantation of solid organs or hematopoietic cells. She has been a member of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation faculty for more than twenty years and co-founded the Immunocompromised Host Infectious Diseases consultation service. Dr. Brown’s special interest is to understand the nature of immunodeficiency resulting from an ever- evolving spectrum of targeted and immunomodulatory therapy. Her laboratory studies approaches to enhance and/or rebuild protective immunity. She is a leader in the design and execution of clinical trials of new treatments for infections that have significantly improved the outcomes of high-risk patients.

Matthew Frank
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplatation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
BioDr. Matthew Frank, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy at Stanford University. Dr. Frank predominantly cares for patients with high-risk lymphoma and other blood cancers. He is a lead investigator of clinical trials evaluating the safety and effectiveness of cancer treatments called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ) T therapy for patients with lymphomas and leukemias. Dr. Frank’s research focuses on developing methods to identify patients who are at high risk for relapse or developing side-effects after receiving CAR T therapy and to understand why these relapses and side-effects occur.

Laura Johnston
Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical research in allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), more specifically, allogeneic transplantation and graft versus host disease. Exploring methods of improving prevention and treatment of GVHD as well as the long term follow-up and/or quality of life of affected patients.
-
Robert Lowsky
Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Lowsky's research is focused on understanding the role of regulatory T cells in the prevention of GVHD and in promoting immune tolerance following organ transplantation.
-
Crystal Mackall
Ernest and Amelia Gallo Family Professor and Professor of Pediatrics and of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsRecent clinical studies, by us and others, have demonstrated that T cell based immunotherapy can eradicate cancers resistant to all other available therapies. Our program creates, develops and optimizes genetically engineered T cells to treat cancer. We link the bench with the bedside, developing novel therapies for early phase testing in clinical trials, while simultaneously conducting intensive studies on clinical samples obtained from patients treated on immunotherapy trials.
-
Everett Meyer
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy), of Pediatrics (Stem Cell Transplantation) and, by courtesy, of Surgery (Abdominal Transplantation) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch focus in T cell immunotherapy and T cell immune monitoring using high-throughput sequencing and genomic approaches, with an emphasis on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the treatment of graft-versus-host disease and immune tolerance induction.
-
David Miklos
Associate Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Miklos is the Chief of BMT & Cell Therapy Division of Medicine He leads clinical trials treating patients with lymphoma. His correlative research studies: 1) tumor antigen quantification, 2) single cell functional product characterization, 3) CAR-FACS immune phenotyping of blood and tumor, and identifying mechanisms for CAR-T treatment Failure including antigen loss, CAR-T exhaustion, and CAR suppression.
-
Lori Muffly
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Muffly's interests include health services research and clinical trials with a focus on acute leukemia and blood and marrow transplantation.

Robert Negrin
Professor of Medicine (Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy)
On Leave from 01/01/2021 To 12/31/2021Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur labaratory focuses on the study of immune recognition by T and NK cells with special emphasis on graft vs host disease and graft vs tumor reactions. We utilize both murine and human systems in an effort to enhance graft vs tumor reactions while controlling graft vs host disease. We have developed bioluminescence models in collaboration with the Contag laboratory to study the trafficking of immune effector cells with a special emphasis on NK, T and regulatory T cells.
