Elana Trubowitch Cohn
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Elana Cohn (She/Her) is a board-certified Family Physician, with a love for caring for the whole person and the entire family.
She completed her bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Behavior at Barnard College, after which she worked as a Health Outreach coordinator on a mobile medical van providing care to the homeless population in NY, which sparked her love for primary care. She received her medical degree at Tel aviv University, and completed her residency at Mount Sinai and the Institute for Family Health.
Her practice spans care for all ages, with an emphasis on care for marginalized populations, reproductive health, office based-procedures, and teaching. She is passionate about integrating mental health care and reproductive justice into general practice, and making care for her patients as comprehensive as possible.
Outside of the office, she loves to travel and explore new places, dance her heart out, and spend time with her family. -
Pasqualina Colella
Affiliate, Pediatrics - Genetics
BioDr. Pasqualina Colella is a scientist with expertise in gene and cell therapy for inherited diseases. She is currently a Senior Research Scientist at Stanford University, where she leads translational research on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), microglia replacement, myeloid cell recruitment to the central nervous system, and genome editing. Her goal is to improve treatment outcomes for neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases.
Dr. Colella earned her PhD at TIGEM (Italy), where she developed gene therapies for inherited retinal disorders, including dual AAV approaches for large gene delivery targeting Usher syndrome type 1B and Stargardt disease. During her postdoctoral studies at Genethon (France), she advanced AAV-based gene therapy for Pompe disease, improving efficacy through transgene and promoter engineering. Her work has contributed to several ongoing clinical trials, including those for USH1B and Pompe disease.
Her research has led to more than 30 peer-reviewed publications (16 as first author, 7 as co-corresponding) and 6 patents. She has received awards including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, the Innovative Research Grant from the National MPS Society, and Stanford School of Medicine Shoshana Levy Award to Support Women in Science (Career Development Award). She was also a finalist for the ERC Starting Grant in 2019. -
Todd Coleman
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioTodd P. Coleman is a Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Faculty Scholar and an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, and by courtesy, Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He received B.S. degrees in electrical engineering (summa cum laude), as well as computer engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan (Go Blue). He received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science. He did postdoctoral studies at MIT and Mass General Hospital in quantitative neuroscience. He previously was a faculty member in the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the University of California, San Diego, respectively. Dr. Coleman’s research is very multi-disciplinary, using tools from applied probability, physiology, and bioelectronics. Examples include, for instance, optimal transport methods in high-dimensional uncertainty quantification and developing technologies and algorithms to monitor and modulate physiology of the nervous systems in the brain and visceral organs. He has served as a Principal Investigator on grants from the NSF, NIH, Department of Defense, and multiple private foundations. Dr. Coleman is an inventor on 10 granted US patents. He has been selected as a Gilbreth Lecturer for the National Academy of Engineering, a TEDMED speaker, and a Fellow of IEEE as well as the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He recently served as Chair of the National Academies Standing Committee on Biotechnology Capabilities and National Security Needs. He is currently a deputy director of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University.

Ruben J Colman, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Gastroenterology)
BioDr. Colman is a pediatric gastroenterologist and physician-scientist with an overarching goal to improve and optimize the quality of care and outcomes for children with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) through precision medicine approaches. His interdisciplinary team science research program focuses on making precision medicine clinically actionable through innovative solutions merging clinical pharmacology knowledge with ‘-omics’ discoveries using microbiome and metabolomics signatures. Part of this work includes translating these findings into improved clinical treat-to-target endpoints with immediate noninvasive point-of-care measures such as intestinal ultrasound.
The foundation of his current work originates from his PhD titled ‘Precision Dosing and Personalized Medicine in pediatric IBD’. During his training, Dr. Colman was also an American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) editorial fellow for Gastroenterology and he is actively involved in the committees of several professional societies including the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN), the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and the International Bowel UltraSound (IBUS) Group. Dr. Colman is supported by a Career Development K23 Award from the NIH, which focuses on evaluating personalized treatment strategies for children with Crohn's disease, specifically examining microbial and transmural intestinal ultrasound findings. He is also funded by awards of the NASPGHAN Foundation and the Stanford Pediatrics Physician-Scientist Bridge to K Program.
