Florian Bach
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioI'm a molecular infection biologist by training, but shifted my focus from pathogens to hosts for my graduate research. During my PhD with Phil Spence in Edinburgh I studied both falciparum and vivax malaria using controlled human (re)infection models, collaborating closely with the groups of Simon Draper and Angela Minassian in Oxford. As a hybrid bioinformatician and experimentalist, I love systems immunology for answering complex questions about human health. For my postdoc, I study in how the human immune response to malaria evolves in infants as they become reinfected and age. I'm also interested in how such early-life immunological events, malaria and beyond, may affect vaccine responses and immune development later in life. I address this question by making use of a longitudinal study cohort of infants receiving monthly chemoprevention in Eastern Uganda, together with our collaborators at UC San Francisco and IDRC Uganda.

Cameron Scott Bader
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bone Marrow Transplantation
BioMy research is focused on using preclinical models to develop novel therapies which improve outcomes for patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Currently, my work aims to establish strategies to reduce the risk of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without exacerbating graft-versus-host disease or interfering with donor stem cell engraftment.

Nitish Badhwar
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioNitish Badhwar, MD is Professor of Medicine and Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology Training Program at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Badhwar received his medical degree from Maulana Azad Medical College (University of Delhi, India). After completing his internal medicine training from New York Hospital of Queens (affiliated with Cornell Medical School), he worked as faculty in the Department of Medicine at Hospital of St. Raphael (Yale University School of Medicine). He completed Cardiac Electrophysiology training at UCSF with Dr. Scheinman. After being on faculty at UCSF for 15 years he recently joined the Arrhythmia Service at Stanford Hospital. He is a Fellow of American College of Cardiology and Heart Rhythm Society. He has been named best doctor in cardiac electrophysiology in San Francisco Magazine since 2015 (2015-2025). This is nominated by his peers. He is the recipient of Excellence in Teaching award by UCSF Academy of Medical Educators in 2015, ACC Distinguished Teacher Award in 2024 and Heart Rhythm Society Distinguished Teacher Award in 2026. He is an invited speaker at prestigious international meetings including Oriental Congress of Cardiology (OCC) in Shanghai, China; Cardiostim EHRA /Europace in Nice, France; Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) in Seoul, S Korea; American Heart Association Annual Scientific Session in New Orleans, LA and Indian Heart Rhythm Society in New Delhi, India.
Clinical Interest: Dr. Badhwar's clinical interest is in complex catheter ablation procedures including mapping and ventricular tachycardia (VT), atrial fibrillation (AF) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) including junctional variants of SVT. He started the epicardial ablation program at UCSF and also worked with Dr. Randall Lee to perform the first percutaneous epicardial left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation in the Bay Area in patients with atrial fibrillation. He has also differentiated himself in the field of electrophysiology by performing hybrid procedures with CT surgeons in patients with AF and VT. He is also involved in device implantation including pacemakers, ICD and biventricular pacing for heart failure.
Research Interest: Dr. Badhwar has published electrophysiologic characteristics of SVTs including atrial tachycardia arising from the coronary sinus musculature, para-hisian atrial tachycardia, left sided AVNRT, junctional tachycardia and nodofascicular tachycardia. He has also published on the use of nuclear medicine (ERNA) in assessing left ventricular dyssynchrony as well as optimal pacing sties in patients with heart failure requiring biventricular pacing. He has described the unique clinical characteristics of epicardial idiopathic VT arising from the cardiac crux and septal fascicular VT. He has also published clinical outcomes of combining LAA ligation with catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (first in human percutaneous closed chested Maze procedure) and participated in multi-center randomized trials of hybrid AF ablation ( DEEP trial and aMAZE trial). He was part of the VINTAGE project that used novel technique for ablation of intramural deep septal VT. -
Jehan Bahrainwala, MD, FASN
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Nephrology
BioDr. Bahrainwala is a board-certified, fellowship-trained nephrologist with the Stanford Medicine Kidney Clinic. She is a Certified Hypertension Specialist practicing at the AHA-Certified Stanford Hypertension Center. One of her main clinical areas of focus is the diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension and secondary hypertension. She also has a clinical interest in caring for patients who are pregnant or planning pregnancy with hypertension and kidney disease. In addition to hypertension, she also cares for patients with all types of kidney diseases. Her extensive experience includes caring for patients with electrolyte abnormalities, kidney stones, chronic kidney disease and end stage kidney disease.
Dr. Bahrainwala is skilled at creating connections with her patients. She treats the whole person rather than the condition. She also strongly believes in patient education and involving them in the medical decision-making process. She integrates their goals of care and other aspects of advanced care planning into treatment planning. She is also interested in the conservative care of elderly patients with advanced kidney disease. She has formal communication skills training in discussing serious illnesses with patients through Vital Talk.
In addition to being a clinician, she is committed to and involved in the medical education of trainees at all levels including medical students, residents and fellows. She is a fellow and a member of the American Society of Nephrology. Additionally, she is a member of the National Kidney Foundation and the American Heart Association. She is double board certified in internal medicine and nephrology.
