Renata Kallosh
Stanford W. Ascherman, MD Professor, Emerita
BioWhat is the mathematical structure of supergravity/string theory and its relation to cosmology?
Professor Kallosh works on the general structure of supergravity and string theory and their applications to cosmology. Her main interests are related to the models early universe inflation and dark energy in string theory. She develops string theory models explaining the origin of the universe and its current acceleration. With her collaborators, she has recently constructed de Sitter supergravity, which is most suitable for studies of inflation and dark energy and spontaneously broken supersymmetry.
She is analyzing possible consequences of the expected new data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the results of current and future cosmological observations, including Planck satellite CMB data. These results may affect the relationship between superstring theory and supergravity, and the real world. Professor Kallosh works, in particular, on future tests of string theory by CMB data and effective supergravity models with flexible amplitude of gravitational waves produced during inflation. -
Nicholas Antonios Kalogriopoulos
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioNick's broad research interests are in developing tools and technologies for research and therapeutic applications. Nick obtained a B.S. in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his undergraduate career, he trained with Dr. Paul Sondel, where he worked on preclinical testing of novel immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of neuroblastoma. He obtained a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science with Dr. Pradipta Ghosh, elucidating the structural basis of non-canonical G protein activation by a novel protein family of Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Modulators (GEMs). As a Postdoctoral Researcher with Professor Alice Ting at Stanford University, his current research focuses on developing a new system for programmable and user-controlled cellular behaviors for immuno-oncology applications.

Praveen Kalra
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Praveen Kalra is Board Certified in Anesthesia and in Critical Care. He specializes in trauma, orthopedic, brain and spine surgery, urology, and cancer surgery. He was appointed Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiology (FASA) in 2023. Appointed Medical Director of Sustainability for Stanford Healthcare in Dec 2023.
His professional interests include devising protocols for patient safety, informed consent, reducing the impact of anesthetics on the environment, addressing climate change by reducing green house gas emissions in the health care setting, resident education to emphasize evidence based safe care and mentoring medical students. He has been in practice for over 18 years.
Received the Inaugural Sustainability Ambassador Award in 2022 at SHC for removing Desflurane (anesthetic gas with highest global warming potential) from the OR and undertaking multiple initiatives such as creating a Green Team at SHC, an elective Green Rotation for residents, green curriculum video series and addressing plastic & biohazardous waste in the OR. Current projects are focused on decommissioning nitrous oxide pipelines in the OR. As Medical Director of Sustainability, I work on collaborating with experts, fostering clinician engagement in change management, and spearheading transformative initiatives.
Dr. Kalra completed his residency in Anesthesia from Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and a fellowship in Critical Care from Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. -
Julia Kaltschmidt
Associate Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe lab’s primary research interest is to understand how specific neuronal circuits are established. We use mouse genetics, combinatorial immunochemical labeling and high-resolution laser scanning microscopy to identify, manipulate, and quantitatively analyze synaptic contacts within the complex neuronal milieu of the spinal cord and the enteric nervous system.
