BioMarc Fagel spent nearly 30 years as a Bay Area securities litigator with a focus on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement. After six years as an associate at Morrison & Foerster, Marc joined the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office as an enforcement staff attorney, investigating matters including insider trading, public company financial fraud, and misconduct by investment professionals. Marc later became the office’s Head of Enforcement and, from 2008-2013, served as Regional Director, overseeing the SEC’s enforcement and inspection programs throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest and managing the office’s staff of over 100 professionals.
After nearly 16 years with the SEC, Marc joined Gibson Dunn as a partner in the firm’s San Francisco and Palo Alto Offices, where he served as Co-Chair of the firm’s national Securities Enforcement practice group. Marc’s practice focused on representing public companies and their officers and directors, as well as financial institutions and investment managers, in investigations by the SEC, the Department of Justice, and other state and federal regulatory authorities.
In 2019, Marc retired from the full-time practice of law, and has since dedicated himself to writing and volunteer activities. Marc is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the Board of Advisors of VoteRiders, a non-partisan organization dedicated to helping voters secure ID required by increasingly draconian voter ID requirements. He volunteers with local food banks, and has served as an election monitor for recent state and national elections.

BioDr. Muneeb A. Faiq is a behavioral and metabolic neuroscientist and ophthalmology researcher whose work spans molecular biology, neuroimaging, and systems neuroscience. He has made several foundational contributions, including the first functional cloning of CYP1B1 in congenital glaucoma, implicating retinoic-acid signaling in Zika virus–associated microcephaly, identifying central insulin resistance as a mechanistic basis for glaucoma, and providing the first in vivo evidence for a glymphatic pathway in the optic nerve. With more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and over 4,000 citations, Dr. Faiq has earned international recognition, including the Emerging Vision Scientist Award – 2019 from the Alliance for Eye and Vision Research. He is widely regarded as the pioneer and principal architect of the discipline of psychosomatic ophthalmology, a field he helped conceptualize and establish, leading to the integration of ophthalmic clinical practice with mindfulness-based and psychosomatic medicine frameworks. Dr. Faiq is currently advancing the concept of neurometabolic syntax in vision and brain function — a unifying systems-level framework that integrates genetics, metabolism, and behavior to reconceptualize ophthalmic and neurological diseases through a mechanistic and interdisciplinary lens. He has been selected for the prestigious Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) Achievement Award 2026.

Neda Fakhimi
Affiliate, Central Mgmt-Misc AR
BioNeda is an interdisciplinary scientist working at the intersection of bioscience and chemical engineering, with a deep fascination for the function and potential of microbes. Her research focuses on photosynthetic green microalgae, which she finds both visually captivating under the microscope and remarkably capable in their physiological roles. As a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Arthur Grossman's lab at Carnegie Institution for Science, she investigates the physiological and biochemical functions of NAD kinase isoforms and their roles in regulating central carbon metabolism in photosynthetic systems. Ultimately, she aims to integrate these molecular insights to enable sustainable bioproduction of high-value products, combined with carbon sequestration and waste resource recovery. She also collaborates with a multidisciplinary team of biologists and computer scientists to develop advanced machine learning models for predicting organelle targeting and dual localization of proteins in the green lineage, tools required for advancing fundamental research in this area.

Titilola Falasinnu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology) and, by courtesy, of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)
BioI am primarily a lupus researcher and identify as a pain scientist and methodologist in this field. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disproportionately affects women and racial minorities and is the fifth most common cause of death among 15- to 24-year-old Black and Hispanic women in the U.S., highlighting its significant public health impact. More than half of patients with SLE experience chronic pain, often secondary to SLE itself or overlapping conditions (e.g., migraines, low back pain, fibromyalgia), contributing significantly to disability and impaired quality of life. Chronic pain is not merely a symptom but a disease in its own right—one that deserves the same rigorous study and clinical attention as comorbidities like kidney disease and cardiovascular disease in rheumatology. The enormous global burden of chronic pain underscores the urgent need for a clear, standardized definition of pain as a disease, particularly in autoimmune rheumatic diseases where pain can arise from inflammatory, nociplastic, and biopsychosocial mechanisms. Without recognizing pain as a distinct disease entity, its mechanisms remain poorly understood, and effective treatment strategies remain underdeveloped.
I am a co-Principal Investigator of the Pain Intelligence Lab, where our mission is to advance the study of pain as a disease in rheumatology through two primary objectives. First, we develop and validate computational methods that enable clinicians and researchers to leverage electronic health records, administrative claims, and disease registries to study chronic pain as a distinct disease entity in rheumatology. By applying machine learning, natural language processing, and real-world data analysis, we seek to enhance pain phenotyping, classify distinct pain subtypes, and develop predictive models for treatment response. Second, we use a biopsychosocial framework to examine the predictive power of biomarkers and psychosocial measures in rheumatologic pain. By integrating biological, psychological, and social determinants of pain, we aim to conduct rigorous, patient-oriented research that translates targeted assessments into mechanistically informed, personalized treatment approaches for optimized clinical care. Ultimately, my long term career goal is to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, ensuring that pain management in autoimmune rheumatic diseases is precise, equitable, and optimized for improved patient outcomes. -
