  Steven Artandi, MD, PhD

  Laurie Kraus Lacob Director of the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI), Jerome and Daisy Low Gilbert Professor and Professor of Biochemistry
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsTelomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that protect chromosome ends and shorten with cell division and aging. We are interested in how telomere shortening influences cancer, stem cell function, aging and human disease. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that synthesizes telomere repeats and is expressed in stem cells and in cancer. We have found that telomerase also regulates stem cells and we are pursuing the function of telomerase through diverse genetic and biochemical approaches.

  Ann M. Arvin

  Lucile Salter Packard Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Emerita
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory investigates the pathogenesis of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, focusing on the functional roles of particular viral gene products in pathogenesis and virus-cell interactions in differentiated human cells in humans and in Scid-hu mouse models of VZV cell tropisms in vivo, and the immunobiology of VZV infections.

  Itai Ashlagi

  Professor of Management Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and, Professor, by courtesy, of Economics
  

  BioItai Ashlagi is a Professor at the Management Science & Engineering Department.
  He is interested in game theory and the design and analysis of marketplaces. He is especially interested in marketplaces, in which matching is an essential activity. markets, for which he developed mechanisms using tools from operations/cs and economics. His work influenced the practice of Kidney exchange, for which he has become a Franz Edelman Laureate. Ashlagi received his PhD in operations research from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
  Before coming to Stanford he was an assistant professor of Operations Management at Sloan, MIT and prior to that a postdoctoral researcher at HBS. He is the recipient of the outstanding paper award in the ACM conference of Electronic Commerce 2009. His research is supported by the NSF including an NSF-CAREER award.

  Euan A. Ashley

  Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

  Laura Attardi

  Catharine and Howard Avery Professor of the School of Medicine and Professor of Genetics
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is aimed at defining the pathways of p53-mediated apoptosis and tumor suppression, using a combination of biochemical, cell biological, and mouse genetic approaches. Our strategy is to start by generating hypotheses about p53 mechanisms of action using primary mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), and then to test them using gene targeting technology in the mouse.

  Christopher Wallace Austelle

  Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
  

  BioChristopher Wallace Austelle, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist and Clinical Assistant Professor investigating circuit-based treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. As a physician-scientist, he examines how neural circuits underlying emotion and cognition are dynamically coupled with the autonomic nervous system to shape interoception, and how disruptions in these integrated systems contribute to depression and anxiety.
  
  With more than a decade of experience in neuromodulation, Dr. Austelle has worked across research and clinical settings using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), accelerated protocols such as Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), and implanted vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). His research integrates clinical trials, neuroimaging, and psychophysiology to develop targeted, physiology-informed interventions.
  
  Clinically, he specializes in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety disorders, applying evidence-based neuromodulation strategies for individuals who have not responded to standard treatments.
