Xi Ying Amanda Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioDr. Chen completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) at the University of Sydney (NSW, Australia), with majors in Molecular Biology and Immunobiology. She graduated with the University Medal for her Honours research project where she investigated the novel role of DNA damage repair machinery on telomerase recruitment to telomeres. She then undertook her graduate studies at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (The University of Melbourne, VIC, Australia) in the Beavis laboratory, where she developed a CRISPR knock-in strategy to engineer armored CAR T cells to express therapeutic payloads in a tumor-restricted manner. She joined the Porteus laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University in March 2025, where she is developing strategies to enhance gene-edited hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Harvey Cohen
Deborah E. Addicott - John A. Kriewall and Elizabeth A. Haehl Family Professor of Pediatrics, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests extend from hypothesis-driven studies in biochemistry and cell biology to discovery-driven interests in proteomics and systems biology to clinical treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia of children, and pediatric palliative care.
-
Gary Dahl
Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHematology/Oncology, Phase I drug studies for childhood cancer, overcoming multidrug resistance in leukemia and solid tumors, biology and treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, early detection of central nervous system leukemia by measuring growth, factor binding proteins.

Heike Daldrup-Link
Professor of Radiology (General Radiology) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAs a physician-scientist involved in the care of pediatric patients and developing novel pediatric molecular imaging technologies, my goal is to link the fields of nanotechnology and medical imaging towards more efficient diagnoses and image-guided therapies. Our research team develops novel imaging techniques for improved cancer diagnosis, for image-guided-drug delivery and for in vivo monitoring of cell therapies in children and young adults.

Kara Davis
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsChildhood cancers can be considered aberrations of normal tissue development. We are interested in understanding childhood cancers through the lens of normal development. Further, individual tumors are composed of heterogeneous cell populations, not all cells being equal in their ability to respond to treatment or to repopulate a tumor. Thus, we take single cell approach to determine populations of clinical relevance.

Pablo Domizi, Ph.D.
Senior Research Scientist-Basic Life, Pediatrics - Hematology/Oncology
BioI am passionate about translational research and how single cell technologies could open up new avenues for better and more accurate predictive models. Currently, I am focus on integrating single cell RNA and protein expression data to develop models to predict patient at risk for Antigen Loss relapse after CAR T cells immunotherapy.

Charles Gawad
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
On Partial Leave from 02/01/2025 To 10/01/2025BioOur lab works at the interface of biotechnology, computational biology, cellular biology, and clinical medicine to develop and apply new tools for characterizing genetic variation across single cells within a tissue with unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy. We are focused on applying these technologies to study cancer clonal evolution while patients are undergoing treatment with the aim of identifying cancer clonotypes that are associated with resistance to specific drugs so as to better understand and predict treatment response. We are also applying these methods to understand how more virulent pathogens emerge from a population of bacteria or viruses with an emphasis on developing a deeper understanding of how antibiotic resistance develops.
