Edward R. Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy clinical research interests include the development of techniques and patient care pathways to improve postoperative pain control and other surgical outcomes. I am particularly interested in using regional anesthesiology, the science and practice of modulating nerve transmission in the central neuraxis or within peripheral nerves, to produce target-specific and opioid-sparing pain relief and enhance recovery after surgery or injury.

Ivana Maric
Assistant Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Neonatology)
BioIvana Maric is an Assistant Professor in the Pediatrics Department at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on applying machine learning to improving maternal and neonatal health. Her main focus has been on developing machine learning models for early prediction of adverse outcomes of pregnancy from omics and electronic health records data, that could guide development of low-cost, point of care diagnostic tools. Her main interest is in solutions that are applicable worldwide and especially in low-resource settings. Previously, her research focused on information theory, a mathematical discipline tightly related to statistics and machine learning. She is a recipient of the 2021 Rosenkranz Prize awarded for innovative work to improve health in low- or middle-income countries. She is also a recipient of the 2026 WSPR Best Global Health Abstract Award, 2025 McCormick Faculty Award, the 2025 Reckitt/Mead Johnson Junior Faculty Award from the Western Society for Pediatric Research (WSPR), and the co-recipient of the 2013 IEEE Communications Society Best Tutorial Paper Award. She received BS degree from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, MS and PhD at Rutgers University and postdoctoral training at Stanford University.

Agostino Marinelli
Associate Professor of Photon Science and of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interests are the physics and applications of x-ray free-electron lasers. I lead the free-electron laser R&D program at the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC, where I employ new accelerator and FEL physics concepts to advance ultrafast X-ray science. Some highlights of my research are the development of attosecond x-ray free-electron lasers, and the use of advanced plasma accelerators for the generation of ultrafast radiation pulses.

M. Peter Marinkovich, MD
Associate Professor of Dermatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Marinkovich lab studies the function of epithelial extracellular matrix molecules, including integrins, collagens and laminins in epithelial development and carcinoma progression. We apply our discoveries in this area towards development of molecular therapies for carcinomas, hair disease and inherited epithelial adhesive disorders.

John D. Mark
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Pulmonary Medicine
BioDr. Mark received his medical degree from the University of Kansas and completed his residency in pediatrics at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. He then completed a fellowship in pediatric pulmonary medicine at the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. In 1984, Dr. Mark completed the first fellowship in Pediatric Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona om 2001. He practices at Packard Children’s Hospital where he utilizes non-pharmaceutical approaches with patients with chronic pulmonary disorders such asthma and cystic fibrosis. He is interested in nutrition, lifestyle changes, exercise and mind/body approaches to healing in an effort to decrease dependence on medication and improve overall lung health.
Dr. Mark is the past Program Director for the Pediatric Pulmonary fellowship program, Co-Director for the Pediatric Integrative Medicine fellowship program and the Medical Director for the Coordinating and Optimizing Resources Effectively (CORE) Program at Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford University. This innovative program assists with care coordination and communication with all health care providers for children with complex medical needs. Dr. Mark is also the Chair of the Credentials Committee at Packard Children's Hospital. -
Thomas E. Markland
Professor of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research centers on problems at the interface of quantum and statistical mechanics. Particular themes that occur frequently in our research are hydrogen bonding, the interplay between structure and dynamics, systems with multiple time and length-scales and quantum mechanical effects. The applications of our methods are diverse, ranging from chemistry to biology to geology and materials science. Particular current interests include proton and electron transfer in fuel cells and enzymatic systems, atmospheric isotope separation and the control of catalytic chemical reactivity using electric fields.
Treatment of these problems requires a range of analytic techniques as well as molecular mechanics and ab initio simulations. We are particularly interested in developing and applying methods based on the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics to include quantum fluctuations such as zero-point energy and tunneling in the dynamics of liquids and glasses. This formalism, in which a quantum mechanical particle is mapped onto a classical "ring polymer," provides an accurate and physically insightful way to calculate reaction rates, diffusion coefficients and spectra in systems containing light atoms. Our work has already provided intriguing insights in systems ranging from diffusion controlled reactions in liquids to the quantum liquid-glass transition as well as introducing methods to perform path integral calculations at near classical computational cost, expanding our ability to treat large-scale condensed phase systems. -

Samuel Marks
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Pediatrics - Endocrinology
BioStarting with the University of Sydney PhD (Medicine) research that created technologies to facilitate large-scale screening programs for glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy; I continued onto Harvard Medical School to work on Big Data (specifically 2TB of fundus photos); along the way gaining multi-million dollar in-kind grants from Google.
At Stanford Medical School I work both on Health Systems Engineering and technologies to improve pædiatric T1D care. -
