Jacqueline Ferguson Solanki
Instructor (Affiliated), Health Policy
Staff, Health PolicyBioDr. Jacqueline Ferguson is a Research Investigator at the Palo Alto VA (Veterans Health Administration) and is a researcher with the Center for Population Health Sciences at Stanford Medicine.
She specializes in using secondary data sources such as occupational records, insurance claims, and electronic health records to study the relationship between environmental, social exposures and population health. Her research interests are widespread, but all center around methodology to handle time-varying exposures affected by prior exposure and methodology to account for multiple co-exposures or exposure mixtures. Her most recent work has focused on improving access to care for Veterans by examining patient characteristics associated with the frequency, quantity, and proportion of video-based care used by Veterans.
Jacqueline’s doctoral research at UC Berkeley and the Center for Population Health Sciences at Stanford Medicine has examined the impact of specific components of shift work on worker health, and identified night and rotational work as risk factors for hypertension and Type II diabetes. Jacqueline's current research seeks to understand how multiple social determinants of health can simultaneously influence Veteran care and health within the Veterans Health Administration.

Josephine Knotts Knowles Professor of Human Biology, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWorking with English- and Spanish-learning children from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, our research examines the importance of early language experience in supporting language development. We are deeply involved in community-based research in San Jose, designing an innovative parent-engagement program for low-resource Latino families with young children. We are also conducting field studies of beliefs about child development and caregiver-child interaction in rural villages in Senegal. A central goal of this translational research is to help parents understand their vital role in facilitating children’s language and cognitive growth.

Russell D. Fernald
Benjamin Scott Crocker Professor of Human Biology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIn the course of evolution,two of the strongest selective forces in nature,light and sex, have left their mark on living organisms. I am interested in how the development and function of the nervous system reflects these events. We use the reproductive system to understand how social behavior influences the main system of reproductive action controlled by a collection of cells in the brain containing gonodotropin releasing hormone(GnRH)

Philip Fernandes
Masters Student in Translational Research and Applied Medicine, admitted Autumn 2026
Fellow in Pediatrics - GastroenterologyBioI am a Clinical Fellow in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition and a Tashia and John Morgridge Endowed Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, supported by the Maternal & Child Health Research Institute. I completed my residency at Henry Ford St. John Hospital in Detroit, where caring for diverse communities shaped my dedication to health equity and cultural humility.
In the Rosen Lab, my research centers on pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC). I use 3D colonoids—lab-grown models of the colon derived from intestinal stem cells—alongside single-cell genomic technologies to map cellular metabolic changes and cell-to-cell interactions. By decoding these cellular dynamics, my goal is to uncover targeted, precise therapies that better control disease, prevent complications, and support long-term growth, nutrition, and overall health for pediatric patients.
This work builds on my foundation in pediatric gastroenterology at the University of Virginia’s Syed Lab, where I contributed to data interpretation, grant development, and multi-institutional research integrating genomics and machine learning to investigate gastrointestinal structure and function.
As a student in the Master's in Translational Research and Applied Medicine (M-TRAM) program, I am building actionable skills across clinical medicine, translational research, and industry-driven approaches to innovation, preparing to advance therapeutics for complex pediatric enteropathies.
