Mrigender Singh Virk
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
BioDr. Mrigender Virk completed his residency in Anatomic & Clinical Pathology at Georgetown University before joining Stanford for his Transfusion Medicine Fellowship. After completion of the fellowship, Dr. Virk joined the Department of Pathology as a member of the faculty for Transfusion Medicine. Dr. Virk is currently the Director of the Transfusion Medicine Laboratory and the Blood Banking & Transfusion Medicine Fellowship Program. His work has primarily focused on the improvement of blood bank inventory management through optimization of O-neg RBC utilization and waste mitigation of all blood products in an expanding enterprise footprint. Dr. Virk has also improved inventory efficiency and safety through the implementation of pathogen reduced platelets and pathogen reduced cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex.

Juan David Visbal Alcala
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioJuan David is a resilient, hard-working, and enthusiastic leader who is changing the world by solving society's challenges through engineering practices and strategies that optimize, innovate, disrupt, and transform positively.
Juan holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with experience working in cross-functional teams, spanning from engineering, R&D, and other relevant technical functions, to marketing, management, and sourcing to drive profitable results for businesses while exceeding stakeholder expectations.
Analytical thinker and problem-solver driven to further develop industry standards to meet society's next-generation needs in terms of energy demands, agnostic fuel transitions, product reliability, accessibility, and circularity creating long-lasting solutions while safekeeping the environment.
Juan attempts to lead by three main principles that developed as a result of past experiences that turned into learning opportunities:
1. A good leader should not become a figure of authority that disrupts confidence or trust among co-workers. A true leader should bridge communication gaps and become a master at developing meaningful interpersonal relationships in the work environment. Success and productivity are enhanced through effective teamwork that stems from deep bonds of trust driven by communication.
2. A good leader should be a great listener. One should be able to understand and show interest in what each teammate has to share. Sometimes there's no need to look for solutions elsewhere but within the teams. One learns to communicate by listening first.
3. A good leader should be receptive and approachable to anyone willing to come up to them. It's impossible to know whether an initiative, project, or idea has potential if the person to whom it needs to be sold is not prone to receive it. The only crazy idea/question is one that is never asked. -
Elisa Mariel Visher
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
Postdoctoral Scholar, GeneticsCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsElisa Visher is broadly interested in the (co)evolution of life history strategies, niche breadth, diversification, and adaptability. They use mostly experimental evolution methods in microbial systems to test the predictions and assumptions of theoretical literature. Currently, they am especially interested in understanding the genetics of trade-offs in microbes to better understand patterns of diversity in nature and constraints to adaptation.

Brendan C. Visser, MD
Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Visser's research interests span the breath of his clinical practice. Areas of active research include the multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancers, technical aspects of minimally invasive pancreatic and liver surgery, and trends in the management of hepatobiliary cancers in California, focusing on socioeconomic and instituional barriers to appropriate care.
