John Higgins
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work as a diagnostic surgical pathologist doing translational research in renal neoplasia and medical renal disease and neoplastic and medical liver disease. Subspecialty areas of clinical interest include diagnostic immunohistochemistry, renal, hepatic and transplant pathology.

Rory Hills
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI work at the intersection of protein engineering, immunology, and translational medicine. My research focuses on building generalizable molecular tools to better measure and manipulate complex human disease. At Stanford, I am developing modular antibody platforms that enable high-resolution, spatial analysis of cancer and immune systems in intact tissue. I previously trained at Oxford and Cambridge, where I worked on next-generation vaccine platforms with collaborators across academia and industry.

Jody Elizabeth Hooper
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am the Director of the Research Autopsy Collaboration at Stanford (RACS) to collect organs and tissues from decedent donors for cancer and disease research. https://med.stanford.edu/racs
I have a number of research interests associated with my autopsy work, including how the time interval between death and collection (the PMI) affects the condition and research viability of the collected tissue, how valuable blood and tissue cultures behave after death, and how autopsy results affect clinical practice in an established information loop. I have projects exploring physician and family attitudes towards autopsy and the utilization of rapid autopsy tissue in characterizing cancer evolution from genetic and immunologic standpoints. -

Assistant Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
On Leave from 02/16/2026 To 07/17/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab is broadly interested in how intestinal microbes shape our immune system to promote both health and disease. Recently we discovered that a type of intestinal epithelial cell, called tuft cells, act as sentinels stationed along the lining of the gut. Tuft cells respond to microbes, including parasites, to initiate type 2 immunity, remodel the epithelium, and alter gut physiology. Surprisingly, these changes to the intestine rely on the same chemosensory pathway found in oral taste cells. Currently, we aim to 1) elucidate the role of specific tuft cell receptors in microbial detection. 2) To understand how protozoa and bacteria within the microbiota impact host immunity. 3) Discover how tuft cells modulate surrounding cells and tissue.

Rongting Huang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Huang is a computational biologist with academic interests in cancer genomics and spatial biology, particularly in the field of gynecologic cancers. During her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Yuanhua Huang, she developed statistical methods to detect allele-specific somatic copy number variations from single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data, aiming to understand genetic diversity in biological systems. Currently, her research focuses on advancing gynecologic cancer studies and women’s health through spatial technology platforms, computational modeling, and innovative data visualizations to uncover meaningful insights.
Outside of research, she enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and calligraphy, which help her stay creative and balanced. -

Siddhartha Jaiswal
Associate Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe identified a common disorder of aging called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). CHIP occurs due to certain somatic mutations in blood stem cells and represents a precursor state for blood cancer, but is also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. We hope to understand more about the biology and clinical implications of CHIP using human and model system studies.

Kristin Jensen
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a clinical translational investigator with a primary interest in breast cancer biology, and the use of investigational and clinical ancillary techniques such as gene and tissue microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. As a practicing cytopathologist, I also have an interest in improving the fine needle aspiration biopsy diagnosis of breast lesions, again using immunohistochemistry and gene expression analysis as adjuncts to cytomorphology.

Rathinaraja Jeyaraj
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research interests revolve around unboxing, manipulating, and applying machine and deep learning algorithms to address computer vision challenges. Currently, I focus on histopathology image analytics using contrastive learning and multi-modal representation learning (image and text).
