Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe lab is studying the mechanisms controlling B cell responsiveness and the balance between tolerance and autoimmunity. B cells deficient in CD72 are hyperresponsive to stimulation through the B cell receptor. We are examining the alterations in B cell signaling in these B cells and the mechanisms by which CD72 deficiency partially abrogates anergic tolerance. We hope to learn how deficiency in CD72 leads to spontaneous autoimmunity and increased susceptibility to induced autoimmune disease.

Shyon Parsa
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in MedicineBioShyon earned his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas - Austin, graduating with Honors. He completed coursework in Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena in Living Systems at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University under Clare Hall fellow Dr. Kenneth Diller. After graduation, Shyon enrolled in medical school at UT Southwestern, and graduated with an M.D with Distinction in Research and as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society.
He started his internal medicine residency at Stanford University Hospital in 2023. In 2024, he was awarded a Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Seed Grant for his project "An Artificial Intelligence Approach Utilizing Radiomic-Derived Calcium Features on Calcium Scoring CT (CAC-CT) in Cardiovascular Risk Stratification" (Co-PI). In 2025, he was selected for a Young Investigator Award from the National Lipid Association and named as an American Heart Association Early Career Investigator Award for Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine Research finalist. He is currently leading the NOTIFY-ASCVD trial alongside Co-PIs Fatima Rodriguez and Fahim Abbasi.
His interests include the use of AI in opportunistic coronary artery disease assessment, clinical integration of AI-based diagnostic algorithms through clinical trials, and preventive health advocacy through public policy. He plans to pursue a career in cardiology with a focus on advanced computational imaging techniques, medical device development, and advocacy both in his local communities and abroad. -

Julie Parsonnet
George DeForest Barnett Professor of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an infectious diseases epidemiologist who has done large field studies in both the US and developing countries. We research the long-term consequences of chronic interactions between the human host and the microbial world. My lab has done fundamental work establishing the role of H. pylori in causing disease and understanding its epidemiology. Currently, our research dissects how and when children first encounter microbes and the long term effects of these exposures on health.
