Richard Perez, MD
Clinical Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain MedicineBioDr. Richard Perez is a board-certified, fellowship-trained pain management specialist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine, Division of Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Perez cares for people living with complex chronic pain, nerve-related pain, and musculoskeletal pain conditions. He specializes in nonsurgical therapies, such as nerve blocks, to relieve pain. He takes a highly personalized and compassionate approach to pain medicine, informed by a deep understanding of the biology of pain.
As an active physician-researcher, Dr. Perez studies how changes in cells contribute to chronic pain and immune-related disease. He uses advanced genetic technologies to analyze patterns across individual immune and nervous system cells. His work aims to understand what causes chronic pain, supporting the development of more targeted and effective therapies.
Dr. Perez has published his findings in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Science Translational Medicine, Nature Communications, and British Journal of Anaesthesia. He has also presented to peers at meetings of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and International Anesthesia Research Society.
Dr. Perez is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the International Anesthesia Research Society. -
Javier Perez-Garcia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioJavier Perez-Garcia is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. His research has been focused on the integration of multi-omic data (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome) to identify potential biomarkers of treatment response for complex diseases like asthma. His research background includes experience both in molecular biology techniques (e.g., DNA extraction and sequencing libraries preparation) and bioinformatic analyses (e.g., processing of raw omic data, association studies at genomic scale, or multi-omic integration through machine learning and quantitative trait loci analyses). He holds a Ph.D. in Health Sciences and a B.Sc. in Pharmacy from the University of La Laguna (Spain).

Amalia Perna
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Perna received her education at the University of Urbino (BSc in Biological Science) and at the University of Trieste (MSc in Functional Genomics).
She obtained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience/Medical Sciences in 2021, from the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in collaboration with the Swiss Integrative Center for Human Health (SICHH). During her doctoral studies, she investigated the molecular players involved in the neurodegenerative process, with special attention to Notch signaling modulation in the neuronal demise after kainic acid (KA)-induced excitotoxicity
With funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Dr. Perna joined Prof. Thomas Montine's lab at Stanford University and extended her doctoral research work to single-cell technologies such as single-nucleus RNA-seq. In February 2022 she was appointed as a postdoctoral fellow in Montine Lab.
Dr. Perna’s research aims to elucidate the modulation of signaling pathways in the different cell types of the brain after the perturbation of its homeostasis. She is also interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal regeneration/recovery after damage and in neurodegenerative diseases. -
Alina Pfrang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioAlina Pfrang is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford Initiative for Business, Taxation, and Society. Alina’s work focuses on how firms react to different types of taxes. She previously worked as a visiting professor at the University of Iowa. She received her PhD from the University of Mannheim in Germany.
