Francisco Quintero
Affiliate, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioHello! My name is Juan Francisco Quintero, though I usually go by Francisco. I was born in Sinaloa, Mexico, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area when I was 10 years old. I was raised in the small town of Burlingame, where I learned the importance of a close-knit, family-oriented community. I am currently a post-baccalaureate student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology from Sonoma State University.
I am an aspiring physician interested in specializing in cardiology or oncology. My passion for health and medicine began when I accompanied my grandmother to her doctor’s appointments after she was diagnosed with heart disease at the age of 40. Wanting to better understand her condition and help my family stay healthy became the driving force behind my academic journey. While studying at UC Berkeley, I worked as an Ophthalmic Technician at a clinic dedicated to serving underserved communities. In this role, I often assisted Spanish-speaking patients who felt more comfortable communicating in their native language. As a native Spanish speaker, I was able to connect with patients in a warm and meaningful way. This experience showed me how essential clear communication and trust are in healthcare, and it reinforced my commitment to becoming a compassionate physician.
I am excited to be part of COMET and continue caring for patients while developing the skills necessary to become the best physician I can be. -
Sean Quirin
Assistant Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical & Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
BioDr. Quirin's laboratory develops minimally invasive methods to explore the causal role individual neurons play in the emergence of behavior. To this end, the lab's strength is the development of techniques which manipulate light to both detect and restoratively modulate brain activity down to the single-neuron scale. His lab continues to innovate with new tools which map these functional relationships onto the molecular and anatomical architecture of the brain. Utilizing these techniques, the lab aims to characterize how ensembles of neurons coordinate to encode and communicate information throughout the brain for sensing and behavior.

Jennifer Anne Rabbitts
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine (Pediatric) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
BioJennifer Rabbitts, MD is Professor and Chief of Pediatric Pain Management at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Rabbitts directs an NIH-funded research laboratory focused on improving long-term pain and health outcomes in children and adolescents undergoing surgery. Her research is devoted to understanding and preventing chronic postsurgical pain, a disabling condition affecting 20% youth undergoing major surgery. Her current research studies investigate the role of biopsychosocial mechanisms including child psychosocial factors, parental/family factors, and psychophysical processes underlying acute to chronic pain transition. Current clinical trials focus on testing feasibility and efficacy of psychosocial and complementary and integrative interventions to improve acute postsurgical pain and prevent transition to chronic pain.
Dr Rabbitts is passionate about mentoring, and is a PI for the NIH HEAL PAIN Training grant in Maternal and Child Pain and Health at Stanford. She serves as section editor for Psychology, Psychiatry and Brain Neuroscience Section for Pain Medicine, and serves on the editorial boards for Pediatric Anesthesia and Journal of Pain.

Marlene Rabinovitch
Dwight and Vera Dunlevie Professor of Pediatric Cardiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program seeks to identify the cellular and molecular programs regulating vascular and lung development, through the use of cultured cells and tissues and mouse and rat models. We then determine how these programs are perturbed by genetic abnormalities or injurious processes associated with disease, focusing on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a fatal complication in children with heart defects, and a condition of unknown etiology primarily in young women.
