Michael J. Gardner, MD
Hatim and Durriya Tyabji Endowed Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Gardner’s investigative program during his academic career has involved a two-pronged approach, including both clinical and basic research. Prior to joining the Orthopaedic Department at Stanford, he was the Director of the Orthopaedic Trauma Research Program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. During his tenure as Director, he organized a highly productive and efficient research program. This resulted in publication of many scientific manuscripts, and numerous ongoing multicenter and single center trials that remain active.
Throughout his career, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed original scientific manuscripts, in addition to over 50 invited manuscripts, brief reports, and review papers. He has edited two published text books, is currently editing two more books, and has co-authored over 30 book chapters. His goals include continuing to be highly active in both clinical and basic research, and to continue attaining grant funding to support this work. -

Rebecca M. Gardner
Ph.D. Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI’m a second-year PhD student in Epidemiology & Clinical Research with an emphasis on maternal health and well-being during the postpartum period and over the life course. My current research is focused on antepartum and postpartum depression prevalence trends, the policy impact of insurance expansion on postpartum healthcare utilization, the ‘Hispanic Paradox’ in the context of maternal health outcomes, and the effect of social support on reducing postpartum mental health morbidity. Ultimately, I would like to design and implement multimodal interventions to reduce postpartum depression morbidity, thereby promoting the well-being of mothers, children, and families. I am also interested in studying the connection between adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term outcomes such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Before starting a PhD, I was a biostatistician in the Quantitative Sciences Unit at Stanford for four years where I co-authored over thirty publications, collaborating with clinicians on various domains including developmental behavioral pediatrics, reproductive endocrinology & infertility, oncology, and clinical trials. I completed my MS in Statistics at Brigham Young University in 2016, where I collaborated with cardiologists to develop a new approach to diagnose rheumatic heart disease in pediatric patients in Samoa for my Master's thesis. -
Joseph Garner
Professor of Comparative Medicine and, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe medical research community has long recognized that "good well-being is good science". The lab uses an integrated interdisciplinary approach to explore this interface, while providing tangible deliverables for the well-being of human patients and research animals.

Matthias Garten
Assistant Professor of Microbiology and of Bioengineering
BioMatthias Garten, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the department of Immunology and Microbiology and the department of Bioengineering. He is a membrane biophysicist who is driven by the question of how the malaria parasite interfaces with its host-red blood cell, how we can use the unique mechanisms of the parasite to treat malaria and to re-engineer cells for biomedical applications.
He obtained a physics master's degree from the Dresden University of Technology, Germany with a thesis in the laboratory of Dr. Petra Schwille and his Ph.D. life sciences from the University Paris Diderot, France through his work in the lab of Dr. Patricia Bassereau (Insitut Curie) investigating electrical properties of lipid membranes and protein - membrane interactions using biomimetic model systems, giant liposomes and planar lipid membranes.
In his post-doctoral work at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda in the laboratory of Dr. Joshua Zimmerberg, he used molecular, biophysical and quantitative approaches to research the malaria parasite. His work led to the discovery of structure-function relationships that govern the host cell – parasite interface, opening research avenues to understand how the parasite connects to and controls its host cell. -
Ashlyn Gary
Graduate, Medicine, School of Medicine
BioAshlyn Gary graduated with Honors at Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and a Masters of Science in Community Health and Prevention Research. Her mission is to improve health via translational research, patient advocacy, and transformative technology. With research experiences in neuroscience, community health, and health product design, she loves to engage in complex, intersectional problems -- interfacing between mental health, tech, and design. Integrating behavioral science research and community empowerment, Ashlyn is passionate about designing for well-being and developing health behavior-change technology rooted in rigorous science, creative collaboration, and health equity.
From her freshman to senior year, Ashlyn worked as a student researcher at the Talbot Lab. Research at the Talbot Lab focuses on the development and function of glial cells in the vertebrate nervous system, using genetic approaches in zebrafish to discover new genes with essential functions in the glial cells. These projects provide novel insights into glial cell development and function, define pathways that may be disrupted in disease, and may provide new avenues toward therapies for diseases of glia. Her honors thesis investigated the role of microglia in a lysosomal storage disease called Mucolipidosis type IV, in hopes of providing a novel insight into the origins, neurological mechanisms, and progression of neurodegenerative defects characteristic of lysosomal storage disease patients. Her research was awarded the Stanford University Oral Communication Program Excellence for Honors Thesis Presentation.
While obtaining her Master's in Community Health and Prevention Research, Ashlyn researched digital interventions for loneliness, an alarming health epidemic among college students. Collaborating with clinical psychologists, designers, and college students, Ashlyn worked with the nonprofit Hopelab designing one of the first mental health apps to impact the modifiable behavioral risk factors for loneliness during young adulthood. Her thesis, "Can Smartphone Apps Address Loneliness Among College Students? Case Study and Viewpoint" integrates qualitative interviews with first-year college students to provide perspectives on how to design for social connectedness. -
Olya Gary
Web Designer 3, OHNS/Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery
Current Role at StanfordAs a senior web designer at Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery Department and a member of the OHNS web team, I support the entire department web presence: http://med.stanford.edu/ohns.html.

Brice Gaudilliere
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult-MSD) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Neonatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe advent of high dimensional flow cytometry has revolutionized our ability to study and visualize the human immune system. Our group combines high parameter mass cytometry (a.k.a Cytometry by Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry, CyTOF), with advanced bio-computational methods to study how the human immune system responds and adapts to acute physiological perturbations. The laboratory currently focuses on two clinical scenarios: surgical trauma and pregnancy.

Charles Gawad
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
BioOur lab works at the interface of biotechnology, computational biology, cellular biology, and clinical medicine to develop and apply new tools for characterizing genetic variation across single cells within a tissue with unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy. We are focused on applying these technologies to study cancer clonal evolution while patients are undergoing treatment with the aim of identifying cancer clonotypes that are associated with resistance to specific drugs so as to better understand and predict treatment response. We are also applying these methods to understand how more virulent pathogens emerge from a population of bacteria or viruses with an emphasis on developing a deeper understanding of how antibiotic resistance develops.
