Anson Lowe
Associate Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe laboratory is focused on the relationship between injury, wound healing, and cancer. Esophageal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers are a focus. We are particularly interested in the regulation of cell signaling by EGFR, the EGF receptor. In addition to cancer pathogenesis, active projects include the development of new diagnostic assays and drugs.

Sydney X. Lu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioSydney Lu is a hematologist and medical oncologist in the Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, studying novel therapeutics for challenging cancers and immune disorders.
Sydney's research career started with graduate studies in the laboratory of Dr. Marcel van den Brink at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) studying the biology of pathologic donor T cells during graft-versus-host-disease and beneficial T cells mediating graft-versus-tumor effects after allogeneic bone marrow transplant, as well as the role of the thymus in regenerating healthy and protective donor-derived T cells post-transplant.
The direct relevance of these cellular therapies and their immediate translational applicability to patients inspired him to attend medical school at Stanford and further training in hematology and medical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering. There, as a fellow and junior faculty member, he studied disordered RNA splicing in cancer in the laboratory of Dr. Omar Abdel-Wahab, with the goal of developing novel drugs targeting RNA splicing. This work has led to observations that targeted degradation of the RNA binding protein RBM39 may be a feasible therapeutic for the treatment of myeloid cancers bearing RNA splicing factor mutations and that pharmacologic RNA splicing inhibition can generate MHC I-presented peptide neoantigens which are exploitable for immunotherapy in model systems.
Sydney's laboratory is broadly interested in studying RNA processing and splicing in the contexts of:
1) normal and pathologic immunity and immunotherapy
2) cancer biology
3) normal and malignant hematopoiesis -

Kevin M Lutley
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Lutley is a primary care doctor. He is board certified in internal medicine.
For every patient, he creates a customized care plan. Plans focus on helping each person enjoy the best possible health and wellness.
Dr. Lutley has helped advance care through research. He has shared his research discoveries with his peers in invited presentations. Topics include drug prices in community pharmacies and the quality of interactions between patients and resident physicians.
While an internal medicine resident at Stanford, Dr. Lutley served as a member of the Stanford Ambulatory Care Excellence Program. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of outpatient primary care.
Dr. Lutley helps educate the primary care doctors of tomorrow. He is a clinical assistant professor of primary care and population health in the Stanford Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care.
Before joining Stanford, Dr. Lutley performed needs assessments and care coordination with local public health agencies in Flint, Michigan.
Recognition for his achievements includes induction in the Gold Humanism Honor Society. This national organization honors senior medical students, residents, teachers and others for excellence in clinical care, leadership, and compassion. Additional honors for Dr. Lutley include induction in Alpha Omega Alpha, the honor society in the field of medicine.
From Stanford University, he received the Julian Wolfsohn Award. This honor goes to residents who demonstrate exemplary professionalism, teaching, and dedication to patient care.
Dr. Lutley is a member of the American College of Physicians. -
Stephen Ma
Fellow in Graduate Medical Education
Candidate For Affiliation, MedicineBioStephen Ma is a Clinical Informatics Fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine. His fellowship work has focused on the development, implementation, and evaluation of novel technologies to optimize clinical workflows. Areas of focus include 1) the use of generative AI/large language models for a variety of workflows such as patient messages, patient instructions, translation, and ambient clinical documentation, 2) machine learning algorithms for antimicrobial stewardship and laboratory utilization, 3) secure inpatient messages and on-call scheduling, and 4) development of novel user interfaces for clinical and research workflows.
His undergraduate degree was in Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, after which he pursued his MD/PhD at Columbia University. He did his doctoral work in the laboratory of Professor Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic where he developed human cardiac models of disease incorporating patient-derived stem cells, optogenetics, tissue engineering, optoelectronics, and video processing. He subsequently completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Stanford University prior to joining the Clinical Informatics Fellowship.
