Sadegh Ghorbani
Casual - Non-Exempt, Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials
Staff, Program-Heilshorn, S.BioA biotechnologist with a focus on protein-based hydrogels, aimed at exploring the intricate processes of neurogenesis, brain tumors, and the signaling pathways governing their cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. Through the utilization of customizable hydrogels that incorporate cell-adhesive sequences, our primary objective is to mimic the native microenvironment of the nervous system within 3D systems, allowing us to discern the intricate responses of cells on engineered and functional bio-interfaces. My work is driven by dual-core objectives. Firstly, I am committed to enhancing the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries by devising a therapeutic approach that is both efficient and effective. Secondly, I am involved in investigating the complex interactions between brain cancer cells and neuronal cells in precisely defined microenvironments.

Karleen Giannitrapani
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Primary Care and Population Health)
BioIn contrast to bounded teams with static membership, dynamic teaming reflects the common challenge of interdisciplinary healthcare teams with changing rosters. Such dynamic collaboration is critical to addressing multi-faceted problems and individualizing care. At present, off the shelf interventions to improve the way healthcare teams work - often assume static and bounded teams. Dr Giannitrapani intends to leverage design approaches to build a new kind of healthcare “teaming intervention,” which respects the nature of their constantly changing membership and more closely aligns with how healthcare teams actually collaborate. Her expertise includes organizational behavior, building interdisciplinary teams, implementation science, mixed methods-research, quality improvement, pain and palliative care research, and global health.
In addition to the Assistant Professor role in Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine she serves as the quality lead for the section of Palliative Medicine. She is also a Core Investigator at the Center for Innovation to Implementation (Ci2i) in the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and serves as PI or co-investigator on multiple ongoing studies representing over 25 million dollars of competitive government grant funding. She is also a Director of the VA Quality Improvement Resource Center (QuIRC) for Palliative Care, supporting Geriatrics and Extended Care programs for 170 Veterans Affairs facilities nationally. In QuIRC she leads a portfolio of projects on improving the processes that interdisciplinary teams can leverage to improve pain and symptom management among high-risk patients; a specific focus of their work is to bridge the gap of poor palliative care integration in the perioperative period.
Dr Giannitrapani has given hundreds of presentations and have over 70 peer reviewed publications in high quality medical and health services delivery journals such as Medical Care, JAMA Surgery, the Journal of General Internal Medicine, the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management and Pain Medicine. She has received a 5-year VA Career Development Award on building better teams across disciplines and was an American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Research Scholar for related work. -
William Giardino
Assistant Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Sleep Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe aim to decipher the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric conditions of stress, addiction, and sleep/circadian dysregulation. Our work uses combinatorial technologies for precisely mapping, monitoring, and manipulating neural circuits that regulate emotional states. We are especially focused on the behavioral functions of neuropeptide molecules acting throughout the circuitry of the extended amygdala- particularly in a brain region called the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST).

Erin Gibson
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Sleep Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsGlia make up more than half of the cells in the human brain, but we are just beginning to understand the complex and multifactorial role glia play in health and disease. Glia are decidedly dynamic in form and function. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this dynamic nature of glia is imperative to developing novel therapeutic strategies for diseases of the nervous system that involve aberrant gliogenesis, especially related to changes in myelination.

Jonathan Gienapp
Professor of History and of Law
BioJonathan Gienapp is Professor of History and Professor of Law. He specializes in the constitutional, political, legal, and intellectual history of the early United States. His primary focus to date has been the origins and development of the U.S. Constitution, in particular the ways in which Founding-era Americans understood and debated constitutionalism across the nation's early decades. His historical interests intersect with modern legal debates over constitutional interpretation and theory, especially those centered on the theory of constitutional originalism.
His first book, *The Second Creation: Fixing the American Constitution in the Founding Era* (Harvard University Press, Belknap, 2018), rethinks the conventional story of American constitutional creation by exploring how and why founding-era Americans’ understanding of their Constitution transformed in the earliest years of the document’s existence. It won the 2017 Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize from Harvard University Press and the 2019 Best Book in American Political Thought Award from the American Political Science Association and was a finalist for the 2019 Frederick Jackson Turner Award from the Organization of American Historians. In addition, it was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2019 and a Spectator USA Book of the Year for 2018.
His second book, *Against Constitutional Originalism: A Historical Critique* (Yale University Press, 2024), critiques originalism's engagement with history. It argues that recovering Founding-era constitutionalism on its own terms fundamentally challenges originalists' unspoken assumptions about the U.S. Constitution and its original meaning and thereby the foundation of the theory itself. He wrote about the book's themes in connection with the current Supreme Court. The book won the 2025 Order of the Coif Book Award from the Association of American Law Schools, was longlisted for the 2025 Cundill History Prize, and was named a History Today Book of the Year for 2024. It has been reviewed in several high-profile venues, including The Washington Post and The Nation.
Gienapp's next book is on the forgotten history of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, currently entitled "We the People of the United States: The Struggle over Popular Sovereignty and Nationhood." It tells the story of the Preamble's early vitality and eventual descent into political and legal irrelevance as a way of exploring how constitutional thinking changed across American history.
Gienapp has also published a range of articles, book chapters, and essays on early American constitutionalism, politics, and intellectual history, modern constitutional interpretation, and the study of the history of ideas.
He is a member of the Historians Council on the Constitution at the Brennan Center for Justice and has contributed to a number of amicus briefs to the Supreme Court of the United States. He is one of the founding editors of the Journal of American Constitutional History where he serves as a senior editorial advisor. He is also a member of the Stanford Civics Initiative and a charter member of the Alliance for Civics in the Academy.
In addition to his scholarship, Gienapp has been widely recognized for his teaching. At Stanford, he has been awarded the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching (the university's highest teaching award), the Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize, and the Dean’s Award for Distinguished Teaching in the School of Humanities and Sciences in the area of First Years of Teaching. Beyond Stanford, he has been awarded the Excellence in Teaching Award from the Phi Beta Kappa Northern California Association. -

Rona Giffard
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAstrocytes, microglia and neurons interact, and have unique vulnerabilities to injury based on their patterns of gene expression and their functional roles. We focus on the cellular and molecular basis of brain cell injury in stroke. We study the effects of altering miRNA expression, altering levels of heat shock and cell death regulatory proteins. Our goal is to improve outcome by improving mitochondrial function and brain cell survival, and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
