Stephen J. Galli, MD
Mary Hewitt Loveless, MD, Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goals of Dr. Galli's laboratory are to understand the regulation of mast cell and basophil development and function, and to develop and use genetic approaches to elucidate the roles of these cells in health and disease. We study both the roles of mast cells, basophils, and IgE in normal physiology and host defense, e.g., in responses to parasites and in enhancing resistance to venoms, and also their roles in pathology, e.g., anaphylaxis, food allergy, and asthma, both in mice and humans.

Marisa Galvez
Professor of French and Italian and, by courtesy, of German Studies and of Comparative Literature
BioMarisa Galvez specializes in the literature of the Middle Ages in France and Western Europe, especially the poetry and narrative literature written in Occitan and Old French. Her areas of interest include the troubadours, vernacular poetics, the intersection of performance and literary cultures, and the critical history of medieval studies as a discipline. At Stanford, she currently teaches courses on medieval and Renaissance French literature and love lyric, as well as interdisciplinary upper level courses on the medieval imaginary in modern literature, film, and art.
Her first book, Songbook: How Lyrics Became Poetry in Medieval Europe (University of Chicago Press, 2012, awarded John Nicholas Brown Prize from the Medieval Academy of America), treats what poetry was before the emergence of the modern category, “poetry”: that is, how vernacular songbooks of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries shaped our modern understanding of poetry by establishing expectations of what is a poem, what is a poet, and what is lyric poetry itself. The first comparative study of songbooks, the book concerns three vernacular traditions—Occitan, Middle High German, and Castilian—and analyzes how the songbook emerged from its original performance context of oral publication, into a medium for preservation, and finally became a literary object that performs the interests of poets and readers.
Her second book, The Subject of Crusade:Lyric, Romance, and Materials, 1150-1500 (University of Chicago Press, 2020) examines how the crusader subject of vernacular literature sought to reconcile secular ideals about love and chivalry with crusade. This study places this literature in dialogue with new ideas about penance and confession that emerged from the second half of the twelfth century to the end of the thirteenth. Subject argues that poetic articulations are crucial for understanding the crusades as a complex cultural and historical phenomenon, and examines another version of speaking crusades, in which lyric, romance and materials such as tapestries, textiles, and tombstones manifest ambivalence about crusade ideals. -

Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, MD, PhD
Member, Bio-X
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on merging advances in molecular biology with those in biomedical imaging to advance the field of molecular imaging. Imaging for the purpose of better understanding cancer biology and applications in gene and cell therapy, as well as immunotherapy are all being studied. A key long-term focus is the earlier detection of cancer by combining in vitro diagnostics and molecular imaging.

Daniela Gamboa Zapatel
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2021
BioDaniela Gamboa Zapatel is a PhD candidate in Education Policy at Stanford University. Her research examines how inclusive education policies shape student outcomes, with a particular focus on historically marginalized groups in Peru. She aims to strengthen context-sensitive measures of inclusion and inform equity-driven policy design.
Daniela brings over a decade of experience across classrooms, government, and civil society in advancing inclusive education. She has led national initiatives at the Ministry of Education of Peru and the Peruvian Down Syndrome Society, and has collaborated with regional and global networks including the Regional Network for Inclusive Education (Latin America), Down Syndrome International, and Inclusion International. Prior to her doctoral studies, she served as a consultant on equity and inclusion at the Global Partnership for Education.
She holds a B.A. in Early Childhood Education with honors from the University of Piura (Peru) and an M.A. in International Education Policy Analysis from Stanford University. -
Yiming Gan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Yiming Gan is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurology. He earned his B.S. degree in Modern Mechanics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2019 and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Rochester in 2024, where his research focused on the experimental measurement and computational modeling of cerebrospinal fluid flow and the glymphatic system. After graduation, he joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar in the Pediatric Neurostimulation Laboratory (Baumer Lab) and the Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute. His research interests span biomarkers for epilepsy (functional connectivity), cerebral drug delivery, and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy.
