Paul A. Khavari, MD, PhD
Carl J. Herzog Professor of Dermatology in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe work in epithelial tissue as a model system to study stem cell biology, cancer and new molecular therapeutics. Epithelia cover external and internal body surfaces and undergo constant self-renewal while responding to diverse environmental stimuli. Epithelial homeostasis precisely balances stem cell-sustained proliferation and differentiation-associated cell death, a balance which is lost in many human diseases, including cancer, 90% of which arise in epithelial tissues.

Sarita Khemani
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Sarita Khemani is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, a Hospital Medicine physician, and the founding Director of STRIVE, the Stanford Resilience & Longevity Initiative.
Her work focuses on physiological reserve: the biological capacity that allows individuals to maintain strength, cognition, independence, and recovery potential across the lifespan. Through STRIVE, she is advancing a clinically grounded approach to longevity science, with a focus on healthspan, functional resilience, perioperative recovery, brain and physical performance, and the prevention of age-related decline.
Dr. Khemani’s clinical expertise is in perioperative medicine and the care of neurosurgical patients, where she focuses on preventing and managing medical complications around surgery. This work has shaped her broader academic interest in why some patients recover well after surgery, illness, or biological stress, while others experience accelerated functional decline.
A dedicated educator, Dr. Khemani has served as Director of the Perioperative Medicine Rotation for medical students, Stanford Medicine residents and physician assistant students. She is a recipient of the Department of Medicine’s Excellence in Teaching Award.
Dr. Khemani is the founder and co-director of the Stanford Medicine Clinical Summer Internship (SMCSI), a globally recognized program that exposes premedical students to the clinical and academic world of medicine. Under her leadership, the inclusive program has expanded access to medical training through numerous scholarships for students representing a range of experiences, with a mission to empower future leaders in healthcare.
Dr. Khemani is an invited speaker at national and international medical meetings, has presented at Stanford Neurosurgery Grand Rounds, and delivered the keynote address at the Stanford Physician Assistant Program’s graduation ceremony. She has also been featured on U.S. media platforms and international television as a guest expert.
Dr. Khemani is a member of the American College of Physicians and serves on the Stanford Hospital Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and the Hospital Medicine Wellness Committee.
