Roberto Novoa, MD
Clinical Professor, Pathology
Clinical Professor, DermatologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests include the medical applications of artificial intelligence, cutaneous lymphoma, and the side effects of targeted therapies. I have served as the lead dermatologist in our ongoing effort to develop AI-augmented classification of skin lesions. We are in the process of establishing one of the first prospective studies examining the performance of a deep learning algorithm in real-world patients.

Jean Oak
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Oak received her MD and PhD from University of California, Irvine, and completed her anatomic pathology and clinical pathology residency, hematopathology fellowship, and transfusion medicine fellowship at Stanford University. Her research and clinical interests include clinical assay development for tumor immunophenotyping, lymphocyte subset monitoring, and immunotherapy target antigen assessment in a variety of hematologic and immunologic disorders. As director of a clinical flow cytometry laboratory, she oversees the design, validation, and implementation of various immunophenotyping assays in addition to ensuring quality assurance and regulatory compliance for CLIA certification.

Derick Okwan
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBroadly, the Okwan lab’s primary interest is to understand how and why the immune system contributes to nearly all chronic diseases. The immune system of the modern human has evolved from a history of stress to the species: famines, continual bouts of lethal pandemics, as well as major climate/environmental and migratory changes that exposed the immune system to novel threats. At the forefront of these challenges are innate immune cells, particularly neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes. For the first time in human history – at least in the western world- we live in an era of abundance. The Okwan lab is interested in understanding how this traumatic history creates a functional mismatch for the neutrophil, which we believe underpins their roles in chronic diseases of the modern era: cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune disorders. Rather than wholesale depletion of neutrophils and innate immune cells, we seek to identify novel approaches to leverage these cells to combat various diseases.

Contingent Otp 1, Pathology Sponsored Projects
BioI am currently a student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, concentrating on Bio Medicine within the context of Global and Community Health.
My experience includes volunteering and administrative work at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, teaching roles with children, helping to create sustainable food systems in my community through the UCSC Center for Agroecology, and engaging in Parkinson’s research in the Schuele Lab. Health. I am proficient in both English and Spanish, using both languages in professional and informal settings. I am eager to embrace all opportunities that come my way.
Throughout my coursework and lab experiences, I have gained proficiency in various skills including bacteriophage isolation, antibiotic resistance mechanisms and assays, culture plating E. coli, determining bacterial cell counts, bioremediation techniques, gel electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, PCR, utilizing literature search tools, analyzing primary and review literature, navigating the UCSC genome browser, performing Blastn searches, using ApE for sequence analysis, and presenting primary literature effectively.
