Adam Sperling, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioDr. Sperling received his medical degree and PhD in Biological Chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2011. He completed his residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and his fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He received board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine in 2014, in Medical Oncology in 2017 and in Hematology in 2018. He was a member of the staff at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston from 2018-2026, where he was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 2026, where he is a hematologist and basic and translational researcher in hematologic malignancies. He cares for patients with multiple myeloma and related blood cancers and his research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of disease evolution from pre-malignant conditions and the development of drug resistance in multiple myeloma and other hematologic malignancies.

Erik Sperling
Associate Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Oceans
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe research interests in the Sperling Lab are Earth history and the evolution of life, and the interactions between the biosphere and the geosphere. As such this research can generally be considered paleontology, insofar as paleontology encompasses all aspects of the history of life.
Consequently, we define our research agenda by the questions we are interested in, rather than the tools used. This research incorporates multiple lines of evidence, and multiple tools, to investigate questions in the history of life. These lines of evidence include fossil data, molecular phylogenetics, sedimentary geochemistry, and developmental and ecological data from modern organisms. Ultimately, the goal is to link environmental change with organismal and ecological response through the lens of physiology.
Our field research takes place all over the world--current areas include:
-NW Canada (Yukon and Northwest Territories): Research has been conducted on the early Neoproterozoic Fifteenmile Group, Cryogenian and Ediacaran Windermere Supergroup, and on the Ordovician-Devonian Road River Group in the southern Richardson Mountains
-Southern Canadian Cordillera: Work here has focused on the early Cambrian Mural Formation and its soft-bodied fauna.
-England and Wales: Cambrian-Silurian successions in the Welsh Basin
-Namibia: Ediacaran Nama Group
-Upwelling zones: We study the oxygen minimum zone offshore California as an analogue for ancient low-oxygen oceans. -
