Pankaj Kapahi
Professor (Research) of Medicine (Endocrinology)
BioPankaj Kapahi is a Professor and aging researcher whose laboratory seeks to understand why organisms age and why the rate and consequences of aging differ so dramatically between individuals, sexes, and species. The lab approaches aging through the lens of evolution, asking how pathways that evolved to optimize growth, reproduction, and survival early in life can shape health and disease later in life.
A major focus of the laboratory is the interaction between nutrition, metabolism, reproduction, and aging. The lab has helped define how nutrient-sensing pathways, including TOR, dietary restriction, circadian biology, and metabolic adaptation regulate lifespan and age-related disease. More recently, this work has expanded to reproductive aging and the Reproductive Resilience Hypothesis, the idea that evolutionary pressures linking reproductive success to prolonged survival, repeated reproduction, and caregiving may have selected for biological programs that simultaneously support reproduction and somatic resilience.
Using comparative and experimental approaches across flies, worms, mice, and humans, the lab studies how these evolutionarily conserved programs influence brain aging, neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, reproductive aging, cell senescence, and resilience. The broader philosophy of the laboratory is that aging is best understood not as an isolated biological program, but as an emergent consequence of the evolutionary trade-offs among reproduction, nutrition, growth, maintenance, and survival. -
Michael S. Kapiloff, MD, PhD
Reinhard Family Professor, Professor (Research) of Ophthalmology and, by courtesy, of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Michael S. Kapiloff is a faculty member in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and a member of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. Although Dr. Kapiloff was at one time a Board-Certified General Pediatrician, he is currently involved in full-time basic science and translational research. His laboratory studies the basic molecular mechanisms underlying the response of the retinal ganglion cell and cardiac myocyte to disease. The longstanding interest of his laboratory is the role in intracellular signal transduction of multimolecular complexes organized by scaffold proteins. Recently, his lab has also been involved in the translation of these concepts into new therapies, including the development of new AAV gene therapy biologics for the prevention and treatment of heart failure and for neuroprotection in the eye.

Katherine Kaplan
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Kaplan's research interests span four (often overlapping) domains: (1) pathophysiologic aspects of insomnia and hypersomnia in mood disorders, including mechanisms, correlates, and sequelae of these sleep disturbances; (2) behavioral interventions for sleep disturbances in adults and adolescents; (3) circadian and psychosocial factors impacting sleep in adolescence; and (4) machine learning approaches to big data.

Kathryn (Katie) Kapp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in using mass spectrometry to study protein glycosylation, a complex post-translational modification that is known to be heavily altered in cancer and could improve early cancer detection. I am using mass spectrometry to study protein glycosylation in a variety of clinical samples and cancers, but I am particularly interested in proximal fluid samples to develop more accessible ways to obtain clinical samples to study cancer and women's health.
