Amber Noelle Borucki
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Amber Borucki is an anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist whose focus is chronic pain management in children and adolescents/young adults. She focuses on reducing or managing pain from chronic conditions in children or pain that occurs after surgery. Dr. Borucki completed her medical degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. She attended anesthesia residency at the University of Chicago. She completed a fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology at Boston Children's Hospital as well as a combined adult/pediatric pain medicine fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham Women's Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Borucki worked for 5 years as a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital from 8/2017-5/2023. She was the Director of the Pediatric Anesthesia Service at UCSF during this time. Dr. Borucki transitioned to Stanford Medicine Children's Health in May 2023 and her clinical duties include working in the Emeryville satellite pediatric pain clinic, pediatric operating room, and pediatric pain inpatient service. Dr. Borucki is the Director for Pediatric Pain Education at Stanford, and has partnered with the Adult Pain Medicine program at Stanford to develop an exciting new pediatric pain fellowship track spanning Stanford Health Care and Stanford Medicine Children's Health. She will be the program director of of the pediatric component of this track.
Notable accomplishments include developing and co-chairing the UCSF Benioff Transbay Pediatric Pain Management Committee, development of the pediatric establishment of an adolescent/young adult transitional pain clinic, and serving on the Bridge to One Bay project to standardize pain care across all UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital locations. Dr. Borucki also was instrumental in helping UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital obtain ChildKind designation, a prestigious designation for a hospital indicating that it prioritizes pediatric pain care. She also has been instrumental in the development of the new Pediatric Pain Medicine Fellowship Track at Stanford.
Dr. Borucki has recently collaborated with Dr. Lauren Harrison of the Biobehavioral Pediatric Pain laboratory and together they were awarded a Pediatric Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine Pilot Award to examine biopsychosocial demographic data around chronic pediatric back pain. Their study (PEDS-Back) is now enrolling patients through the pediatric pain medicine clinic.
Dr. Borucki has been a member of the medical advisory council for the Make a Wish Bay Area chapter for almost 10 years. She is currently serving as the Secretary/Treasurer for the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) and also served as the program director for the 12th annual SPPM meeting. Dr. Borucki has also served on several committees through the American Society of Anesthesiologists, California Society of Anesthesiologists, and Women Innovators in Pain Medicine national society. Dr. Borucki served as an editorial board member for Paediatric and Neonatal Pain. -
Rupan Bose, MD, MB
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioRupan Bose, MD, MB, is a Cardiologist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University. He specializes in Preventive Cardiology, with a particular focus on high-risk populations. His mission is to identify the underlying drivers of cardiovascular risk, and his clinic is focused on taking a data-driven approach to addressing each of those individual risk factors. He is also deeply involved in the intersection of medicine and technology, with a particular focus on leveraging emerging technologies and innovations to improve cardiovascular disease monitoring and outcomes.
Dr. Bose is a local Bay Area native. He completed his Medical Degree from the Keck School of Medicine of USC. He then completed his Residency in Internal Medicine at USC, followed by his Fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Harbor-UCLA. With his interest in medicine and technology, he holds a Masters in Biotechnology (MB) with an emphasis on Bioinformatics from the University of Pennsylvania.
At Stanford, Dr. Bose serves in the Preventive Cardiology clinic and also the Stanford South Asian Translational Heart Initiative (SSATHI) clinic. He also serves as the Medical Director for the Inpatient Cardiology Services and the Medical Director of the Inpatient Cardiology (J7) Unit. Additionally, he serves on the Cardiology Consult service and Inpatient Cardiology service, where he supervises and teaches Fellows, Residents, and Medical Students from the Stanford University School of Medicine. -

Nawal Maria Boukli
Affiliate, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Nawal Boukli is a Full Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Universidad Central del Caribe. Her research focuses on how cells transition from adaptive to maladaptive stress, with a central emphasis on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, unfolded protein response signaling, and GRP78 as a master regulator of cell fate. She has defined key mechanistic links between GRP78-driven stress adaptation, metabolic reprogramming, and resistance to therapy in glioblastoma, while advancing GRP78 as a therapeutic target through anti-GRP78 antibody-based strategies aimed at disrupting tumor survival pathways.
Her broader research program integrates molecular biology, proteomics, cancer biology, and NeuroHIV to identify stress-driven mechanisms of disease progression. In parallel, her NeuroHIV research examines how HIV-1 gp120 induces maladaptive ER stress responses that disrupt astrocyte–neuron interactions and drive synaptic vulnerability. Her work unifies cancer and neurodegeneration through a shared framework of proteostasis failure and stress-driven disease progression.
In her project with Stanford University, Dr. Boukli is extending this program into spatial neurobiology to define astrocyte-specific ER stress domains and map how gp120-driven stress signaling becomes spatially organized within intact neural systems. This work defines spatially resolved therapeutic targets and drives high-impact translational studies.
Dr. Boukli is also recognized for her innovative teaching, leadership, and mentorship. She has mentored over 17 master’s and 6 Ph.D. students, developed student-centered mentoring and scientific training activities, and launched the first annual ABRF speed mentoring initiative in 2020 after being elected to the ABRF Executive Board in 2019. She also serves as a reviewer for the NIH Center for Scientific Review, including cancer therapeutics study sections. -
