Gerlinde Wernig
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFibrotic diseases kill more people than cancer in this country and worldwide. We believe that scar-forming cells called fibroblasts are at the core of the fibrotic response in parenchymal organ fibrosis in the lung, liver, skin, bone marrow and tumor stroma. At the cellular level we think of fibrosis as a step wise process which implicates inflammation and fibrosis. We seek to identify new effective immune therapy targets to treat fibrotic diseases.

Nigel Wilkinson-Maitland
Fellow in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean OtherBioSalut! My name is Nigel. I was born and raised in Montréal, playing soccer, biking, and skiing the east coast mountains while completing undergrad at McGill University. The cycling became more serious when a couple friends and I set out across eastern Canada to raise relief funds for a local town that suffered a tragic train derailment. I headed south of the border to study medicine at Stony Brook University and completed Anesthesia residency at Mount Sinai in New York. When the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted elective surgeries and our lives, a few colleagues and I teamed up to convert consumer sleep apnea devices to accessible and scalable mechanical ventilation. After testing at Walter Reed, the blueprints were shared freely and put to use in several developing countries before being presented at the 2021 American Society of Anesthesiology conference. As a keen Stanford fellow, I look forward to the challenges of Pediatric Anesthesia training and west coast cycling.
