Jeff Nirschl
Instructor, Pathology
BioJeff Nirschl, M.D., Ph.D. is an Instructor in Pathology at Stanford University, Stanford, CA with clinical expertise in Neuropathology. He completed his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dr. Erika Holzbaur. During his thesis research, he investigated axonal transport and genetic forms of parkinsonism. He also developed computational image analysis workflows for fluorescence microscopy and digital pathology. His research interests include molecular motors and the neuronal cytoskeleton, the regulation of axonal transport in neurodegeneration, digital pathology, and quantitative image analysis using machine learning.

Roberto Novoa, MD
Clinical Professor, Pathology
Clinical Professor, DermatologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests include the medical applications of artificial intelligence, cutaneous lymphoma, and the side effects of targeted therapies. I have served as the lead dermatologist in our ongoing effort to develop AI-augmented classification of skin lesions. We are in the process of establishing one of the first prospective studies examining the performance of a deep learning algorithm in real-world patients.

Jean Oak
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Oak received her MD and PhD from University of California, Irvine, and completed her anatomic pathology and clinical pathology residency, hematopathology fellowship, and transfusion medicine fellowship at Stanford University. Her research and clinical interests include clinical assay development for tumor immunophenotyping, lymphocyte subset monitoring, and immunotherapy target antigen assessment in a variety of hematologic and immunologic disorders. As director of a clinical flow cytometry laboratory, she oversees the design, validation, and implementation of various immunophenotyping assays in addition to ensuring quality assurance and regulatory compliance for CLIA certification.

Derick Okwan
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBroadly, the Okwan lab’s primary interest is to understand how and why the immune system contributes to nearly all chronic diseases. The immune system of the modern human has evolved from a history of stress to the species: famines, continual bouts of lethal pandemics, as well as major climate/environmental and migratory changes that exposed the immune system to novel threats. At the forefront of these challenges are innate immune cells, particularly neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes. For the first time in human history – at least in the western world- we live in an era of abundance. The Okwan lab is interested in understanding how this traumatic history creates a functional mismatch for the neutrophil, which we believe underpins their roles in chronic diseases of the modern era: cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune disorders. Rather than wholesale depletion of neutrophils and innate immune cells, we seek to identify novel approaches to leverage these cells to combat various diseases.

Michael G. Ozawa
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
BioDr. Ozawa is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology with subspecialty focus in Cytopathology, Head and Neck pathology, and Thoracic pathology. He completed his M.D., Ph.D. training at the McGovern Medical School and the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. He then completed residency training in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology followed by fellowship training in Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology at Stanford University. He is board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology as well as Cytopathology. His interests include pulmonary neoplasms as well as neoplasms of the Head and Neck. He also has developed collaborative research interests in utilizing fine needle aspiration (FNA) techniques in the growing clinical application of Chimeric Antigen T Cell (CAR-T) therapy.

Tianyu Pan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Irvine, where I focused on developing innovative Bayesian nonparametric methods with broad applications in fields ranging from imaging to educational data analysis. As a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, I have expanded my research portfolio by integrating both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives to address challenges in clinical trial analysis and biomedical data interpretation, incorporating deep learning approaches.

Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), PathologyBioAnil K. Panigrahi, M.D., Ph.D. is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Departments of Anesthesiology and Pathology (by courtesy) at Stanford University. Board-certified in Anesthesiology and Transfusion Medicine, Dr. Panigrahi works clinically in both specialties.
Additionally, Dr. Panigrahi leads Patient Blood Management initiatives throughout Stanford Medicine and serves as Stanford Anesthesiology Director of Patient Blood Management, Chair of the Stanford Health Care Transfusion Committee, Medical Director of Stanford Anesthesiology’s Perioperative Anemia Management Clinic, and an Assistant Medical Director of the Stanford Health Care Transfusion Service.
Dr. Panigrahi is a contributor to leading academic textbooks of Anesthesiology and Transfusion Medicine, including Miller’s Anesthesia and the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) Technical Manual. He regularly lectures at national conferences and has presented at annual meetings for the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), AABB, and the Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management (SABM). He is an active member of the ASA, serving on the ASA’s Committee on Patient Blood Management since 2018, and is also a member of the AABB, SABM, and the California Society of Anesthesiologists (CSA), where he has served as a District Delegate.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Duke University, Dr. Panigrahi received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where he was awarded the John G. Clark Prize for meritorious research. He completed residency training in Anesthesiology at Stanford University and fellowship in Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine in the Department of Pathology also at Stanford.
