Gerlinde Wernig
Associate Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFibrotic diseases kill more people than cancer in this country and worldwide. We believe that scar-forming cells called fibroblasts are at the core of the fibrotic response in parenchymal organ fibrosis in the lung, liver, skin, bone marrow and tumor stroma. At the cellular level we think of fibrosis as a step wise process which implicates inflammation and fibrosis. We seek to identify new effective immune therapy targets to treat fibrotic diseases.

Corinne Elizabeth Wertz
Affiliate, IT Services
BioCorinne Wertz, AGACNP-BC, a native to Ohio, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from Ohio University in 2004. She then completed an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Ursuline College. For over eight years, Corinne worked as a registered nurse in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at University Hospitals Case Medical Center. At UHCMC she trained many new nurses, became an Advanced Clinical Nurse, participated in multiple local and national nursing chapters, as well as worked on call for Interventional Radiology. After completing a Master of Science in Nursing degree from Kent State University and obtaining her Acute Care Nurse Practitioner certification in 2015, Corinne moved to San Diego to begin her career as a Neurosurgical Nurse Practitioner. She worked for a private practice at Scripps La Jolla, Scripps Encintas, and Scripps Mercy as a Registered Nurse First Assist in the operating room, on call, and in the outpatient clinic. After almost 14 years of neurosurgical experience, she continued her nurse practitioner career by becoming a member of the inpatient neurosurgical team at Stanford Health Care.

Philipp Wesp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher investigating interpretable machine learning (ML) and large language model (LLM) applications in clinical radiology. My current research focuses on two complementary areas: understanding what human-interpretable concepts self-supervised vision foundation models learn through mechanistic interpretability techniques like sparse autoencoders, and developing LLM-based systems, including agentic workflows and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) architectures, that leverage unstructured hospital data to improve radiological workflows. I earned my PhD from LMU Munich, where I focused on clinically motivated machine learning applications in medical imaging in the Department of Radiology.
My work is partially funded by a Walter Benjamin Fellowship from the DFG (German Research Foundation). -
