Ellen Yeh
Associate Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program focuses on understudied microbial ecology as solutions for planet health. We select organisms with important functional traits to understand their evolution, role in the environment, and potential for bioengineering toward sustainability solutions. We are currently working on nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and algae, genetic screens in diatoms, and algal biofuels.

Muharrem Yunce, M.D.
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
BioDr. Yunce completed his transfusion medicine fellowship at Stanford and then gained invaluable clinical experience with the Malignant Hematology Group at UCSF for two years. After rejoining Stanford, Dr. Yunce started as the Medical Director of Therapeutic Apheresis. In this role, he works with the nursing and medical staff to ensure life-saving and emergent procedures such as therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), red cell exchange, plateletpheresis, and leukapheresis are conducted effectively. Additionally, Dr. Yunce oversees extracorporeal photopheresis for solid organ transplant rejection.
Dr. Yunce is also a well-recognized teaching faculty member in the Department of Pathology. He was honored with the Teaching Award in 2023 by the department and was nominated in 2023 and 2024 for the prestigious Alwin C. Rambar-James B.D. Mark Award for Excellence in Patient Care.
As an active member of the American Society of Apheresis, Dr. Yunce chairs the research subcommittee on TPE utilization in solid organ transplant rejection and desensitization protocols as well as member of multiple research subcommittees. -
