Gabrielle Wong-Parodi
Associate Professor of Earth System Science and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTrained as an interdisciplinary social scientist theoretically grounded in psychology and decision science, my work has two aims. First, to understand how people make decisions to address the impacts of climate change. Second, to understand how robust interventions can empower people to make decisions that serve their lives, communities, and society.

Joseph Woo, MD, FACS, FACC, FAHA
Norman E. Shumway Professor, Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
BioDr. Woo is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cardiothoracic surgeon, cardiovascular surgeon, and transplant surgeon with Stanford Health Care. He is professor and chair of the Stanford Medicine Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and associate director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. He is also the Norman E. Shumway Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and professor, by courtesy, in the Department of Bioengineering.
Dr. Woo is a nationally recognized surgeon, innovator, researcher, and educator in cardiothoracic surgery. He focuses on complex mitral and aortic valve repair, thoracic aortic surgery, heart and lung transplantation, and minimally invasive heart surgery. He was awarded the American Heart Association’s 2021 Clinical Research Prize for developing innovative and minimally invasive surgeries to repair and reconstruct heart valves.
In 2022, Dr. Woo and his team at Stanford Health Care performed the first beating-heart transplant from a donation after circulatory death (DCD) donor and organ perfusion system. Keeping a donor heart pumping while it’s transported to the recipient and then implanting the heart while it’s beating minimizes organ damage. This groundbreaking new procedure is expected to increase the number of hearts available for transplant while improving health outcomes.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. Woo has served as principal investigator on multiple studies funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants. One explored an innovative therapy to stimulate vascular (blood-carrying) stem cells in the bone marrow and direct them to the heart to grow new blood vessels and improve blood flow to damaged heart muscle.
Dr. Woo has also been the primary investigator for clinical trials involving the administration of stem cells during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. In addition, Dr. Woo has served as primary investigator for multiple clinical device trials. He has filed for and holds patents for several heart-related medical devices and surgical techniques.
Dr. Woo has co-authored more than 510 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has served as a reviewer for many of them, including the Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, and Circulation. He has also presented his research and performed live surgery demonstrations both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Woo serves as president of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and past president of the AATS Cardiac Surgery Biology Club. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, American College of Cardiology, and American Heart Association. He is a member of many other professional societies, including the World Society of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons and International Society for Heart Research. He also serves on the leadership committee of the American Heart Association’s Council on Cardiovascular Surgery and Anesthesia. -

Hsi-Yang Wu
Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in how the brain matures to control the bladder and external sphincter to achieve urinary continence. Using functional MRI of the brain, we are investigating if certain patterns of activity will predict which children will respond to therapy for incontinence.

Joy Wu
Gerald M. Reaven, MD Professor of Endocrinology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on the pathways that regulate the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into the osteoblast and adipocyte lineages. We are also studying the role of osteoblasts in the hematopoietic and cancer niches in the bone marrow microenvironment.

Sean M. Wu
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab seeks to identify mechanisms regulating cardiac lineage commitment during embryonic development and the biology of cardiac progenitor cells in development and disease. We believe that by understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic basis of cardiomyocyte growth and differentiation, we can identify the most effective ways to repair diseased adult hearts. We employ mouse and human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells as well as rodents as our in vivo models for investigation.
