Helen M. Blau
Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Professor, Director, Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Professor, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Helen Blau's research area is regenerative medicine with a focus on stem cells. Her research on nuclear reprogramming and demonstrating the plasticity of cell fate using cell fusion is well known and her laboratory has also pioneered the design of biomaterials to mimic the in vivo microenvironment and direct stem cell fate. Current findings are leading to more efficient iPS generation, cell based therapies by dedifferentiation a la newts, and discovery of novel molecules and therapies.

Nathaniel Aidan Blecher
Clinical Assistant Professor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Nathaniel Blecher is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who specializes in glaucoma care at Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
His clinical interests include innovative surgical treatments for glaucoma—including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)—as well as the connection between lifestyle and ocular health. Dr. Blecher provides comprehensive care for the full spectrum of glaucoma, both early-stage and particularly advanced disease.
His individualized approach includes laser therapy, medical management, MIGS procedures, and more complex interventions such as tube shunt placement and trabeculectomy. He also treats coexisting conditions like cataracts, ensuring patients receive coordinated, whole-eye care.
Dr. Blecher’s research interests include treatments for pseudophakic angle closure, which is a rare situation when high pressure inside the eye suddenly develops despite cataract surgery. He has also studied the finer details of correctly detecting glaucoma progression based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis, considering the changes that can be seen from comorbid conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
Dr. Blecher’s research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and Ophthalmology Case Reports. He has presented internationally on topics such as MIGS and complex glaucoma management.
He is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Glaucoma Society. -
Nikolas Blevins, MD
Larry and Sharon Malcolmson Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInner ear microendoscopy -- Developing techniques for minimally-invasive imaging of inner ear microanatomy and neural pysiology. Applications include improved cochlear implant development, inner ear regenerative techniques, inner ear surgery, and auditory physiology.
Microsurgical robotics -- Developing scalable microsurgical instrumentation and robotic techniques for use in head and neck surgery.
Surgical Simulation -- Immersive environment for temporal bone surgical simulation. -
Catherine Blish
Frances Krauskopf Conley Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe major goal of our research is to gain insight into the prevention and control of HIV and other viral pathogens by studying the interplay between the virus and the host immune response. We investigate the role of various arms of the immune response, but with a particular focus on NK cells. We hope to gain additional insights into control of infectious diseases by studying how pregnancy modulates immune responses.

Daniel Bloch
Professor (Research) of Biomedical Data Science (BDS), Emeritus
BioI received my PhD. in Mathematical Statistics in 1967. I joined the research community at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Division of Immunology & Rheumatology, in 1984 as head statistician directing the biostatistics consulting and analytic support of the Arthritis Rheumatism Aging Medical Information System (ARAMIS) and Multipurpose Arthritis Center (MAC) grant-related research programs. In 1993 I was appointed Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the Departments of Medicine and of Health Research & Policy, and am currently Professor of Biostatistics at Stanford University, emeritus since 2007. My contributions to the statistics literature span numerous fields, including methods of sample size estimation, efficiency and bias of estimators, research methods for kappa statistics, non-parametric classification methods and methods of assessing multi-parameter endpoints. I have over 200 peer-reviewed publications. I have been directly involved with the development of numerous criteria rules for classification of diseases and with establishing guidelines for clinical trial research and in proposing responder criteria for osteoarthritis drugs. Since 1987, I have been a consultant on an ad hoc basis to pharmaceutical and biotechnical firms, including both start-up and established companies. I have extensive experience with devices, drugs and biologics and have participated in all aspects of applying statistics to implement investigational plans; e.g.: for protocol development, design of trials, database design. I’ve been a member of the FDA Statistical Advisors Panel, the statistical member on numerous data safety monitoring boards, and frequently represent companies at meetings with the FDA

Simon Bloemer
Graduate, Medicine, Radiology
BioI am a PhD student in MR physics at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn, currently visiting Stanford University. My work focuses on accelerated echo-planar imaging (EPI) for MR flow imaging at ultra-high field (7T), including k-space trajectory and gradient waveform design to speed up acquisition without compromising image quality. At Stanford, I am applying these accelerated flow-encoding methods to cardiovascular 4D-flow imaging.
