Suraj Pavagada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioSuraj Pavagada is a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. His research focuses on exploiting magnetic levitation-based techniques for applications in point-of-care medical diagnostics.
Suraj received his PhD in Oncology from the University of Cambridge (24’), where he developed a new bioelectronic cell enrichment platform utilizing altered glycosylation patterns for the early detection of esophageal cancer. With a background in electrochemistry, surface functionalization, liquid biopsy, and molecular diagnostics, he is passionate about developing portable sensor technologies that can be translated into the clinic to facilitate timely diagnosis and monitoring. -

Sarvesh Periyasamy
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in Rad/Interventional RadiologyBioResident in the Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency. I completed my Internship in General Surgery at Stanford Health Care (2024).
I am a former MD-PhD student part of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. I earned my PhD in Biomedical Engineering in the Image-Guided Interventions Lab under Dr. Paul Laeseke MD, PhD. My thesis work investigated novel X-ray based image guidance techniques and device development for image-guided interventions.
I am interested in a career where I can integrate advances in physics and engineering research into a translational career as a physician-scientist. My research interests focus on the development and use of advanced imaging techniques to improve diagnosis and intervention of a variety of vascular and oncologic diseases. -
Andrew Picel, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProstate artery embolization (PAE) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Prophylactic balloon occlusion catheters and uterine artery embolization to reduce blood loss in patients with invasive placenta.
Geniculate artery embolization for relief of osteoarthritis related knee pain. -
Edward Pimentel
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioEdward Pimentel is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Prof. Tom Soh. After receiving his BS in Chemistry at BYU and pursuing the total synthesis of a natural product with anticancer activity in the lab of Dr. Merritt Andrus, Edward was the first graduate student in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Martell, where his PhD work centered on using DNA nanostructures to accelerate catalytic reactions and building an ultrahigh-throughput DNA-encoded reaction screening platform. Now as a postdoctoral scholar, his research focuses on applying functional nucleic acids to solve problems in diagnostic and sensing for human health. In addition to his research, Edward is a passionate mentor and has been involved in mentoring programs at every stage of his career. He is now a coordinator for the SURPAS Someone Like Me Peer Mentoring program.

Sharon Pitteri
Professor (Research) of Radiology (Diagnostic Sciences Laboratory)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Pitteri laboratory is focused on the discovery and validation of proteins that can be used as molecular indicators of risk, diagnosis, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Proteomic technologies, predominantly mass spectrometry, are used to identify proteins in the blood that are differentially regulated and/or post-translationally modified with disease state. Using human plasma samples, tumor tissue, cancer cell lines, and genetically engineered mouse models, the origins of these proteins are being investigated. A major goal of this research is to define novel molecular signatures for breast and ovarian cancers, including particular sub-types of these diseases. This laboratory is also focused on the identification of proteins with expression restricted to the surface of cancer cells which can be used as novel targets for molecular imaging technologies.

Sylvia K. Plevritis, PhD
William M. Hume Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Biomedical Data Science and of Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on computational modeling of cancer biology and cancer outcomes. My laboratory develops stochastic models of the natural history of cancer based on clinical research data. We estimate population-level outcomes under differing screening and treatment interventions. We also analyze genomic and proteomic cancer data in order to identify molecular networks that are perturbed in cancer initiation and progression and relate these perturbations to patient outcomes.

Peter Poullos
Clinical Professor, Radiology
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & HepatologyBioDr. Poullos is a native of Stockton California. He earned his B.S. at Santa Clara University and M.D. degree at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, after which he did an Internal Medicine residency at the University of California-San Francisco, finishing in 2002. He stayed at UCSF as a Gastroenterology fellow until 2004. However, after a spinal cord injury, he decided to retrain in Radiology. He did his Radiology residency at Stanford University, where he also completed a fellowship In Body Imaging in 2009. Dr. Poullos is now faculty in both the departments of Radiology and Gastroenterology and Hepatology. His clinical practice is at the Stanford Medicine, where he specializes in CT, MRI, and ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis. His interests include radiology of the acute abdomen, hepatobiliary imaging, and colorectal cancer screening.
Dr. Poullos is the Founder and Co-Chair of the Stanford Medicine Alliance for Disability Inclusion and Equity (SMADIE), a group composed of people with disabilities and their allies at Stanford Medicine. In that role, Dr. Poullos advocates for students and healthcare providers with disabilities and for health equity for disabled patients. He is a Faculty Advisor to the Stanford Medical Students with Disability and Chronic Illness (MSDCI) and the MSDCI National organizations. Dr. Poullos and SMADIE have made significant contributions to the disability community, including starting the Stanford Conference on Disability in Healthcare and Medicine, drawing over 1000 participants from 39 countries. He is the Co-Host of the popular “DocsWithDisabilities” podcast, has spoken internationally about disability access in medicine, and has written and researched in the field. One of his proudest achievements is co-creating the Disability in Medicine Mutual Mentorship Program, serving the needs of disabled medicine and healthcare students and practitioners. In 2022, Dr. Poullos received the Stanford President’s Award for Excellence through Diversity. -
