Teresa Nicolson, PhD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur aim is to understand the molecular basis of hearing and balance. We use zebrafish as our model system, which offers distinct advantages for imaging auditory/vestibular and lateral line hair cells in intact animals. Our experiments focus on the function of deafness genes isolated from forward genetic screens and developmental aspects of sensory hair-cell activity and synaptogenesis.

Adam Nielander
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioMy research focuses in the areas electrocatalysis, electrolysis, and solar-driven chemical fuel production. We develop catalysts, instrumentation, methodologies, and device engineering/designs for improved production of chemical fuels (e.g., H2, NH3, ethanol) from abundant feedstocks (e.g., H2O, N2, CO2). This work includes in situ and operando studies of catalyst/ionomer interfaces under operating conditions and is underpinned by complementary driving aims to develop next-generation electrochemical technologies and to elucidate the fundamental principles that dictate the performance of sustainably-driven electrochemical processes.

Kopal Nihar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Catherine Gorle, Dr. Sarah Billington and Dr. Rishee Jain. I also did a PhD from Stanford advised by Dr Rishee Jain at Urban Informatics Lab. My research interest lies in understanding data-driven human-building interactions and impact of indoor air quality on occupant behaviour, especially for the purpose of natural cooling.

Mark Nikolic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioI study large scale processes of evolution through earth history using the fossil record. In doing so, I make use of computational and phylogenetic approaches along with large datasets. I also lead the History of Life and Biodiversity summer internship through the Stanford Young Investigators program. Aside from fossils, I'm also a big fan of riding my bike and disco music.

Margaret Claire Nikolov
Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis, Clinical Excellence Research Center (CERC) Operations
BioDr. Meg Nikolov joined CERC in July 2022 as Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis. Prior to CERC, Meg led the Technical Consulting and Advanced Analytics team, National Market Research at Kaiser Permanente, where her work focused on access to care and on telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to relocating to the West Coast, Meg was Assistant Professor in the Math Department at the United States Naval Academy. At the Naval Academy, Meg coordinated and taught the statistics and probability courses, co-taught the capstone research course in quantitative economics, advised student research projects, and collaborated with faculty on interdisciplinary research. Meg continues to collaborate on research exploring gender and racial bias in professional performance evaluations. Meg received her Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Biometry from Cornell University and her PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Seigo Ninomiya
Clinical Research Coordinator Associate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
BioAt Stanford University School of Medicine, Seigo worked in NIH funded Clinical trials for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorder, and hands-on experience dealing data from neuroimaging methods such as fMRI, EEG, and 3D Neuro-navigation system. At UCSF School of Medicine, he has completed the internship program with the Center for Intelligent Imaging. As a part of Biomagnetic Imaging Lab and Speech Neuroscience Lab at UCSF School of Medicine, He has done data processing, Data QC, and analysis of MEG, fMRI data and several neuropsych scales such as GAD7, YBOCS, and Tinnitus Functional Index. He have hands-on experience on advanced neuroimaging technologies including fMRI and EEG in laboratory settings at University of California Davis., and obtained a CITI training certificate in both biological/behavioral training, and MRI training certificate from UC Davis Imaging Research center.

Sankar Narayan Niranjan MD FASN
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Nephrology
BioDr.Niranjan is a nephrologist (specialist in kidney diseases) with specific interests in the care of cancer patients with kidney disease (Onconephrology), high blood pressure (Hypertension) and the prevention of kidney disease.
A graduate of Kilpauk Medical College, India, he completed his medical residencies in the UK and at the University of Connecticut, where he served as Chief Medical Resident and a Nephrology Fellow. Since 2004, he served as an Attending Physician and Nephrologist at the St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut, and was a partner at Greater Hartford Nephrology. He was also a Medical Director at DaVita Dialysis in Bloomfield, Connecticut until December 2023.
In addition to his clinical practice, he has mentored numerous young physicians and nephrology trainees as a community-based faculty member at the UCONN School of Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.
His passion for the prevention and early detection of kidney disease is evident in his active involvement in the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) in Connecticut. He has facilitated screenings at inner-city community events and minority places of worship, demonstrating his commitment to reaching diverse populations. Over the last five years, he has conducted kidney disease screening camps across Southern India (most recently in June 2024), screening over 500 patients in rural areas using the KEEP template.
Dr.Niranjan is fluent in conversational Tamil, one of the oldest spoken languages in the world. He loves the outdoors and fitness - specifically hiking, bicycling and yoga. He has enjoyed traveling the world with his family. He is passionate about giving back to the community, and supports the education of underprivileged children in India through a US-based non-profit.
