Ishita Ghai
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioIshita Ghai is a health policy researcher that applies causal inference methods to understand how health behaviors are shaped through individual and group factors in low-resource settings. She mainly studies these empirical questions in the context of randomized controlled trials, or through evaluations leveraging exogenous shocks using quasi-experimental techniques. She has managed several pilot and large randomized controlled trials across sub-Saharan Africa studying the short and long-term effects of health interventions on health outcomes for women, children, and people living with HIV/AIDS. At Stanford, she will advance work on medicine policy specifically focused on the effects of the shingles vaccine on dementia risk among older populations.
She completed her doctoral studies in policy analysis (economics concentration) at the RAND School of Public Policy, and holds an MBA from the University of California, Davis, an Ed.M. in international education policy from Harvard University, and a B.Tech in bioinformatics from VIT University. -

Zaniar Ghazizadeh
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Ghazizadeh is a Cardiac Electrophysiologist at Stanford. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale before moving to Stanford to pursue fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
Dr. Ghazizadeh's clinical interests focus on the management of complex cardiac arrhythmias. His research centers on developing computational and wet-lab platforms to study cardiac electrophysiology and the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmias.
His work integrates a broad range of systems, including human biobanks, genetically engineered human and animal models, and nontraditional model organisms, to uncover the molecular and physiological basis of cardiac arrhythmias. His research has been supported by NIH, AHA, and several Stanford University funding programs. As a clinician-scientist, his long-term goal is to translate these discoveries into improved risk stratification tools and novel therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias. -

Sadegh Ghorbani
Casual - Non-Exempt, Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials
Staff, Program-Heilshorn, S.BioA biotechnologist with a focus on protein-based hydrogels, aimed at exploring the intricate processes of neurogenesis, brain tumors, and the signaling pathways governing their cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. Through the utilization of customizable hydrogels that incorporate cell-adhesive sequences, our primary objective is to mimic the native microenvironment of the nervous system within 3D systems, allowing us to discern the intricate responses of cells on engineered and functional bio-interfaces. My work is driven by dual-core objectives. Firstly, I am committed to enhancing the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries by devising a therapeutic approach that is both efficient and effective. Secondly, I am involved in investigating the complex interactions between brain cancer cells and neuronal cells in precisely defined microenvironments.
