Jennifer Anne Rabbitts
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine (Pediatric) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
BioJennifer Rabbitts, MD is Professor and Chief of Pediatric Pain Management at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Rabbitts directs an NIH-funded research laboratory focused on improving long-term pain and health outcomes in children and adolescents undergoing surgery. Her research is devoted to understanding and preventing chronic postsurgical pain, a disabling condition affecting 20% youth undergoing major surgery. Her current research studies investigate the role of biopsychosocial mechanisms including child psychosocial factors, parental/family factors, and psychophysical processes underlying acute to chronic pain transition. Current clinical trials focus on testing feasibility and efficacy of psychosocial and complementary and integrative interventions to improve acute postsurgical pain and prevent transition to chronic pain.
Dr Rabbitts is passionate about mentoring, and is a PI for the NIH HEAL PAIN Training grant in Maternal and Child Pain and Health at Stanford. She serves as section editor for Psychology, Psychiatry and Brain Neuroscience Section for Pain Medicine, and serves on the editorial boards for Pediatric Anesthesia and Journal of Pain.

Marlene Rabinovitch
Dwight and Vera Dunlevie Professor of Pediatric Cardiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program seeks to identify the cellular and molecular programs regulating vascular and lung development, through the use of cultured cells and tissues and mouse and rat models. We then determine how these programs are perturbed by genetic abnormalities or injurious processes associated with disease, focusing on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a fatal complication in children with heart defects, and a condition of unknown etiology primarily in young women.

Ralph Rabkin
Professor of Medicine, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr Rabkin is examining the mechanism of the acquired resistance to hormones that develops in kidney failure.In particular he is studying the impact of kidney failure on the action of growth hormone and the role of impaired signal transduction as a cause of growth hormone resistance. He is also engaged in the study of growth factors in diabetic kidney disease.

Cara Rada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI develop human brain models to study neurological infection, cancer metastasis, and neurodegeneration. My research focuses on the brain’s blood vessels and brain resident immune cell, microglia, and investigates how alterations in these components of the brain microenvironment can have deleterious effects.

Helge Raeder MD PhD
Visiting Professor, Genetics
BioHelge Ræder is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Bergen (UiB), Norway and a Senior Consultant in Pediatric Endocrinology at Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway. With a background in cellular biology and diabetes research, he has significantly contributed to understanding diabetes through stem cell research. He has been a visiting scholar at Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School with C. Ronald Kahn (2005-2006) and with Rohit N Kulkarni (2010-2011). As the Vice Dean of Innovation at UiB (2017-2024), he has spearheaded the establishment of ecosystems that catalyze breakthrough innovations, including a new Medical Innovation Centre. His research aims to unravel the biology of diabetes and endocrine disorders, focusing on the interplay between genetics, proteomics, and stem cell biology. Dr. Ræder's work has resulted in publications in high-impact journals including Nature, Nature Genetics, Nature Metabolism, Diabetes, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research and Nature Reviews Endocrinology. He has been recognized with several awards, including the Young Investigator’s Award from the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. He has been an invited speaker at the IPITA-JDRF-HSCI Key opinion leader´s meeting on stem cell-derived beta cells at Harvard Medical School. Currently, he is a visiting professor at Stanford University, contributing to precision health research focusing on developing endocrine digital twins at Prof. Michael Snyder's Lab.

Srinivas Raghu
Professor of Physics
BioI am interested in the emergent behavior of quantum condensed matter systems. Some recent research topics include non-Fermi liquids, quantum criticality, statistical mechanics of strongly interacting and disordered quantum systems, physics of the half-filled Landau level, quantum Hall to insulator transitions, superconductor-metal-insulator transitions, and the phenomenology of quantum materials.
Past contributions that I'm particularly proud of include the co-founding of the subject of topological photonics (with Duncan Haldane), scaling theories of non-Fermi liquid metals (with Shamit Kachru and Gonzalo Torroba), Euclidean lattice descriptions of Chern-Simons matter theories and their dualities in 2+1 dimensions (with Jing-Yuan Chen and Jun Ho Son), and 'dual' perspectives of quantum Hall transitions (with Prashant Kumar and Michael Mulligan). -
