Kavita Sarin, MD, PhD
Professor of Dermatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research encompasses two main areas: 1) Using next-generation RNA, whole genome, and exome sequencing, we are investigating the genetic alterations involved in skin cancer progression, response to therapy, and other clinical outcomes and 2) We are developing and implementing genome-wide genetic risk prediction assessments for skin cancer into clinical use and studying the impact of this information on patient care.

Nitish Ranjan Sarker
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNitish Ranjan Sarker is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, where he contributes to the design, execution, and evaluation of an Industrial, Agricultural, and Water FlexHub Demonstration Pilot Project. His current research focuses on developing data-driven decision-support tools for sustainable water and energy systems, integrating experimental and pilot-scale data with technoeconomic analysis (TEA) to guide system design, deployment strategies, and policy recommendations.
Nitish earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto, where his work combined laboratory-to-pilot experimentation, systems modeling, and field validation to advance resilient and affordable water technologies. Prior to that, he completed his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta and his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). His research portfolio spans off-grid solar desalination, oil-water separation and spill response technologies, and distributed water quality monitoring tools for decentralized systems. Beyond research, Nitish has engaged in interdisciplinary training and global capacity-building initiatives in Canada, Mexico, Kenya, Bangladesh, India, and France, advancing the water‑energy‑health nexus and sustainable technology adoption from lab to field. He also co-founded FRODO, a venture translating foam-based oil-water separation research into deployable spill response and produced water treatment solutions, bridging lab innovation and early commercialization. -

Peter Sarnow
Burt and Marion Avery Professor of Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory studies virus-host interactions with an emphasis microRNA-mediated gene regulation and on translational control. The mechanism by which a liver-specific microRNA regulates hepatitis C virus genome replication is under intense scrutiny. In addition, the mechanism of internal ribosome entry in certain cellular and viral mRNAs and its biological role in growth and development is being investigated.

Clea Sarnquist, DrPH, MPH
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), Epidemiology and Population HealthBioDr. Sarnquist focuses on applied teaching and research on the development, implementation and evaluation of interventions to decrease gender-based violence, improve mental health, and prevent HIV infection, especially among adolescents and children. She is particularly interested in rights-based approaches that tackle the complex interplay of factors that lead to poor health for many children and families. All of her work is applied, with direct links health practice and policy, and usually performed in conjunction with non-governmental organization and government partners. She works both globally and in the U.S., with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. She is also a medical educator, directing the scholarly concentrations program of the pediatric residency at Stanford, co-directing the global health concentration for residents, and teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in global health with a focus on children and women’s health.

John Louis Sarrao
Director of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Professor of Photon Science, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and Professor, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
BioJohn Sarrao became SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s sixth director in October 2023. The lab’s ~2,000 staff advance the frontiers of science by exploring how the universe works at the biggest, smallest, and fastest scales and invent powerful tools used by scientists around the globe. SLAC’s research helps solve real-world problems and advances the interests of the nation. SLAC is operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. It is home to three Office of Science national user facilities: the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s most powerful X-ray laser; the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL); and the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests, (FACET-II). SLAC hosts thousands of users each year and manages an annual budget of ~$700M. In addition to his role as lab director, John is a professor of photon science, and by courtesy, of materials science and engineering at Stanford University, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Precourt Institute, and dean of SLAC faculty.
John came to SLAC from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, where he served as the deputy director for science, technology, and engineering. In that role, he led multiple directorates, including chemistry, earth and life sciences, global security, physical sciences, and simulation and computation. He also stewarded technology transitions and served as LANL’s chief research officer in support of its national security mission. Before becoming deputy director, he served as associate director for theory, simulation, and computation and division leader for materials physics and applications at LANL.
John’s scientific research focus is superconductivity in materials. He studies the synthesis and characterization of correlated electron systems, especially actinide materials. He won the 2013 Department of Energy’s E.O. Lawrence Award and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Physical Society, and LANL. John received his PhD and master’s degree in physics from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a bachelor’s degree in physics from Stanford University. -
