Sivakamasundari V
Instructor, Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine
BioMy research interests are focused on understanding the molecular basis of early development and stem cells, as it is often aberrations in stem cells or signaling mechanisms between tissues that lead to diseased states, including tumor development and cancer progression. Knowledge of stem cells and development is also critical to develop appropriate cell-based therapies for various diseases or injuries. My prior and current works take advantage of both traditional techniques (gene targeting, lineage tracing) and state-of-the-art technologies (Single cell RNA sequencing, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq), Imaging Mass Cytometry) to elucidate fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying signaling in tissue biology.

Sharif Vakili, MD, MBA, MS
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioSharif Vakili, MD, MBA, MS, (pronouns: he/him), is an internal medicine physician, clinician executive and educator. He practices at Stanford Los Altos Primary Care.
Dr. Vakili has a background in chronic disease management and health systems delivery, believing strongly in a teamwork approach to patient care that empowers patients to navigate the health system as part of their clinical care.
He is active in the research and business communities. His research has been in peer-reviewed journals including NEJM Catalyst, JAMA Network Open and the Annals of Emergency Medicine. He also teaches annually at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Dr. Vakili is credited with establishing and coining Remote Patient Intervention (RPI), a model of clinician-supervised AI care delivery first performed at Stanford during a clinical study published in JAMA Network Open. His work has defined the emerging field of Clinical AI, in which artificial intelligence delivers care that would otherwise be performed by a licensed clinician. -
Hannah Valantine
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is focused on understanding the mechanism mediating acute and chronic allograft failure, in particular on the role of microvascular injury in acute allograft failure and the mechanisms of mediating transplant coronary artery disease. 1. Role of microvascular injury in acute allograft failure.

Guadalupe Valdés
Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor of Education, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsValdés is the Founder and Executive Director of "English Together" a 501(c)(3) organization. The organization creates rich connections between ordinary speakers of English and low-wage, immigrant workers by preparing volunteers to provide one-on-one “coaching” in workplace English.

Juan Rafael Valdez
Lecturer, Language Ctr
BioJuan R. Valdez is a teacher and a writer. He enjoys teaching as a way of helping students to optimally develop their communicative skills, while they also develop a critical sense of community and coexistence in a diverse and complex world. Juan belongs to the tradition of maroon intellectuals and socionaturalists who like to roam between the city and the wilderness and between science and literature. His writings explore the experiences, visions, and stories of those who walk the earth and leave little trace. His publications include: Tracing Dominican identity: the writings of Pedro Henríquez Ureña (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) and En busca de la identidad: la obra de Pedro Henríquez Ureña (Ediciones Katatay, 2015). His latest book Sendas Extraviadas (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-UAM, 2024) is a series of essays on "aimless" walking that explore the possibility of overcoming perilous notions of politics, absurd racism, and consumerist madness. It also proposes strengthening our sense of place and belonging in the world by cultivating our relationship with nature. When Juan is not teaching, studying, or reading, he's hiking, tending to his plants, and having a good laugh.
