Robertson Parkman
Other Teaching Staff-Hourly, Pediatrics - Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy principal research interests have been the assessment of the immunological consequences of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including both acute and chronic graft versus host disease and immune reconstitution and the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat genetic diseases. My laboratory was the first to suggest that chronic graft versus host disease was an autoimmune disease directed at histocompatibility antigens shared by donors and recipients. The observation leaded to the assessment of the role of thymic dysfunction in the pathogenesis of chronic graft versus host disease. As a pediatric immunologist I have investigated the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation initially in the treatment of primary immune deficiency diseases and later the treatment of metabolic diseases, which lead to my involvement in the early gene transfer clinical trials.

Ugur Parlatan
Basic Life Research Scientist, Rad/Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection
BioDr. Ugur Parlatan is a Basic Life Research Scientist at the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection. Trained as a physicist, he leads photonics laboratory activities and develops optical spectroscopy and imaging approaches for molecular fingerprinting and characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs). His work includes designing and optimizing measurement workflows, analyzing EV signatures from biomedical samples, and supporting disease-focused studies across cancer and metabolic conditions (including lung cancer, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and hepatotoxicity). He also mentors trainees (including NIH CREST program interns) and contributes to manuscripts and grant applications.

Jane Parnes
Professor of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe lab is studying the mechanisms controlling B cell responsiveness and the balance between tolerance and autoimmunity. B cells deficient in CD72 are hyperresponsive to stimulation through the B cell receptor. We are examining the alterations in B cell signaling in these B cells and the mechanisms by which CD72 deficiency partially abrogates anergic tolerance. We hope to learn how deficiency in CD72 leads to spontaneous autoimmunity and increased susceptibility to induced autoimmune disease.

Shyon Parsa
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in MedicineBioShyon earned his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas - Austin, graduating with Honors. He completed coursework in Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena in Living Systems at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University under Clare Hall fellow Dr. Kenneth Diller. After graduation, Shyon enrolled in medical school at UT Southwestern, and graduated with an M.D with Distinction in Research and as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society.
He started his internal medicine residency at Stanford University Hospital in 2023. In 2024, he was awarded a Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Seed Grant for his project "An Artificial Intelligence Approach Utilizing Radiomic-Derived Calcium Features on Calcium Scoring CT (CAC-CT) in Cardiovascular Risk Stratification" (Co-PI). In 2025, he was selected for a Young Investigator Award from the National Lipid Association and named as an American Heart Association Early Career Investigator Award finalist. His works have been highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine AI, Journal of the Academic College of Cardiology, and Journal of the American Heart Association.
His interests include the development of AI-enabled ECG models, the implementation and evaluation of AI tools in clinical workflows, and policy surrounding the responsible use of AI in health systems. He is pursuing a career in cardiology with a focus on electrophysiology, medical device development, and policy. -

Julie Parsonnet
George DeForest Barnett Professor of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an infectious diseases epidemiologist who has done large field studies in both the US and developing countries. We research the long-term consequences of chronic interactions between the human host and the microbial world. My lab has done fundamental work establishing the role of H. pylori in causing disease and understanding its epidemiology. Currently, our research dissects how and when children first encounter microbes and the long term effects of these exposures on health.
