Quan Dong Nguyen, MD, MSc
Professor of Ophthalmology and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics and of Medicine (Immunology & Rheumatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have focused our research on the development of novel therapies and innovative assessment and diagnostic imaging technologies for retinal vascular and ocular inflammatory disorders, specifically diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and uveitis. Building on our initial work describing the role of hypoxia and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME), We have become interested in the biochemical mechanisms that would presumably lead to DME. During the past decade, our research has contributed to the body of evidences that defines the important role of anti-VEGF therapies in DME and AMD, as well as the role of the mTOR pathway and various interleukins in the pathogenesis of uveitis.
We have launched a productive and well-funded clinical research program while at the same time providing clinical care to patients with uveitis and retinal vascular diseases and fulfilling significant teaching and administrative assignments. We have established a number of key collaborators both within and outside the institutions. In addition, we have also established Center in Baltimore and now in Silicon Valley, which has excelled in conducting proof-of concept, early-phase multi-center clinical trials and studies, exploring the clinical disease manifestations and the efficacy of various pharmacologic agents in retinal, uveitic, and ocular inflammatory disorders. -
Teresa Phuongtram Nguyen
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioTeresa Nguyen, MD, is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Stanford Medicine and faculty at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI). She serves as a co-Principal Investigator on a cross-disciplinary initiative between Stanford HAI and the Department of Computer Science, directing the development of autonomous quadruped robotics for robotics education and deployment in clinical applications. Her research further develops frameworks for the integration of machine learning models into healthcare delivery systems and their impact on clinical decision-making.
Previously a Scientific Researcher at Genentech, Dr. Nguyen co-invented and patented a series of therapeutics for chronic and neuropathic pain. She holds a BS in Chemistry and an MD from Stanford University, where she conducted research in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi.
A first-generation immigrant, U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholar (Arabic/Morocco), and licensed helicopter pilot, Dr. Nguyen is the co-founder of two organizations: The Lighthouse Initiative, a mentorship platform achieving a 100% college admissions success rate for first-generation students, and Hands-On Robotics, a nonprofit accelerating technical education through accessible hardware and curriculum. She continues to serve as the instructor for Chemistry Unleashed (Chem 93) at the Stanford Department of Chemistry, bridging molecular theory with clinical practice for the next generation of scientists. -
