Zaniar Ghazizadeh
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Ghazizadeh is a Cardiac Electrophysiologist at Stanford. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale before moving to Stanford to pursue fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
Dr. Ghazizadeh's clinical interests focus on the management of complex cardiac arrhythmias. His research centers on developing computational and wet-lab platforms to study cardiac electrophysiology and the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmias.
His work integrates a broad range of systems, including human biobanks, genetically engineered human and animal models, and nontraditional model organisms, to uncover the molecular and physiological basis of cardiac arrhythmias. His research has been supported by NIH, AHA, and several Stanford University funding programs. As a clinician-scientist, his long-term goal is to translate these discoveries into improved risk stratification tools and novel therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias. -

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.

Amato J. Giaccia
Jack, Lulu and Sam Willson Professor, Professor of Radiation Oncology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDuring the last five years, we have identified several small molecules that kill VHL deficient renal cancer cells through a synthetic lethal screening approach. Another major interest of my laboratory is in identifying hypoxia-induced genes involved in invasion and metastases. We are also investigating how hypoxia regulates gene expression epigenetically.

Cynthia Laura Vialle-Giancotti
Affiliate, French and Italian
BioCynthia is a Lecturer for the Civic, Liberal, and Global Education Program in Undergraduate Education.
Her research encompasses 17th and 18th century French literary forms, with a focus on novels, literary portraits, gendered and ageist representations.
Her dissertation titled: "Framing Portraits in 18th-Century French Novels" focuses on the portrayal of the body in French fiction of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its principal aim is to show the import of 17th century female authors in shaping 18th century descriptive practices. It also reveals the functions that descriptions of the body serve in the 18th century: instructing and guiding the reader, as well as entertaining her. Lastly, it underlines how descriptive practices offered a medium for female authors to assert their cultural primacy, against male narrative traditions.
Teaching is my greatest passion. At Stanford I have taught and TA'd classes on various subjects (French language, European History, Italian literature, German Culture, English Gothic Novels, Autobiographies and History of Revolutions) using innovative methods and assignments. My whole teaching approach is oriented toward one goal: to make students perceive the real-life impact of literary studies in particular and the humanities more in general. I am committed to rendering the study of the humanities and the apprenticeship of languages accessible to our diverse community. Having been a FLI (First Generation College) student I understand the difficulties that students from this community encounter and I am happy to support them in their learning needs.
Research Interests: the novel and novel theory, gender studies, life-writing genres, the body and issues of corporality (death, sickness, aging), supernatural genres, violence against women, history and art history.
