Edward A. Pham
Instructor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioMy interest in medicine and research was triggered by my mother’s battle with chronic hepatitis C, which made me realize the transformational power of biomedical research in treating patients. Therefore, my career goal is to become a physician scientist in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology dedicated to translating discoveries in the laboratory into novel medical treatment modalities. My research focus is alterations in phosphoinositides signaling and its pathogenesis in cancers of the hepatobiliary and luminal GI tract with the goal to identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention. I also have a particular interest in understanding the interface between chronic viral infection and cancer through studying how the innate and adaptive immune system are perturbed in chronic viral infections

Hoang Pham
Director, Education and Opportunity for the Racial Justice Center, Stanford Center for Racial Justice
BioHoang Pham is the Director of Education and Opportunity at the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, where he leads research and policy initiatives to examine education inequality and economic mobility in an era of emerging technologies. His work has focused on collaborating with policymakers to elevate the voices of marginalized students in decision-making, analyzing higher education law and policy post-affirmative action, and examining AI bias and its implications for law and governance. His research interests include the potential of participatory governance and deliberative democracy to build less polarized and more just communities, the role of education systems in preparing students for an uncertain future of work, and the capacity of antidiscrimination law to address racial inequality in an increasingly colorblind, technology-driven society. He has written on race, education law and policy, policing and the criminal legal system, and critical pedagogy in legal education.
Before joining Stanford Law School, Hoang clerked at the National Center for Youth Law and Public Advocates, supporting K–12 and higher education civil rights litigation as well as juvenile justice and education policy reform in the California Legislature. An experienced qualitative researcher, he has studied the impact of school discipline legislation and marginalized student experiences with the California School Discipline Project and the Walk Out! Lab for Youth Justice. His co-authored report, Beyond Suspension Decline: Transforming School Discipline in California, received the 2024 American Educational Research Association Division L Outstanding Policy Report Award. In 2013, he was selected as an Urban Leaders Fellow and developed education policy for then-Colorado State Senator Mike Johnston. Hoang is a two-time national award-winning educator. He spent six years teaching in South Los Angeles at one of the first U.S. elementary schools to adopt adaptive learning technology and then four years training teachers and school leaders nationwide as an education consultant with the Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning.
Hoang received a B.S. from the University of Oregon in Political Science and Ethnic Studies, an M.A. in Urban Education from Loyola Marymount University, and a J.D. from the University of California, Davis School of Law, where he was a Martin Luther King, Jr. Public Interest Scholar. He is a member of the California Bar.
The rest of his waking hours are spent raising his two daughters with his wife, Brooklynn. -

Tho Duc Pham
Clinical Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy areas of interest involve exploring antibody function as it relates to transfusion medicine, blood safety, and emerging infectious diseases. This ranges from natural immune responses to the ABO blood group, antibody profiling anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and studying HEV seroprevalence in the local community. I am also interested in exploring statistical approaches to improve blood product availability and overall health care efficiency in a tertiary care system.

Trung Hoang Minh Pham
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsUncovering mechanisms of tissue immunity and immunophysiology during persistent infection
The immune system safeguards the health of complex organisms by rapidly eliminating invading pathogens, curbing infection-induced tissue disruptions, and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Many bacterial pathogens evade host antimicrobial mechanisms and persist in infected tissues at low levels for long periods of time even in the presence of innate and adaptive immune resistance. During persistent infection, the immune system simultaneously orchestrates antimicrobial responses to contain the pathogen, repairs damaged tissue, regulates nutrient resources, and maintains other tissue physiological functions to ensure host survival. Failure of any of these tasks leads to uncontrolled infection, devastating disease, and even death. The goals of our research are to understand:
1)What are the innate and adaptive immune cellular mechanisms that contain pathogens during persistent infection?
2)How are tissue physiological functions, such as tissue repair and nutrient regulation, maintained during persistent infection?
3)How do pathogens survive innate and adaptive antimicrobial mechanisms in infected tissues?
4)How does persistent infection impact host immunity to secondary infections of a similar or different pathogen?
Through investigating these fundamental questions, we may be able to decode the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that can be harnessed to eradicate infections, promote tissue resilience, and restore health after an infectious insult. We integrate immunology, tissue biology, microbiology, and genetics to uncover the mechanisms of tissue immunity and immunophysiology during persistent infection from the molecular to organismal level.
Current areas of research:
•Development, maintenance, and plasticity of macrophage functional diversity in infected tissue
•Tissue repair and nutrient regulation during persistent infection
•Cellular dynamics and bacterial persistence in lymphoid organs -
Peggy Phelan
Ann O'Day Maples Professor of the Arts and Professor of English
BioPeggy Phelan is the Ann O’Day Maples Chair in the Arts Professor of Theater & Performance Studies and English.

Oliver Philcox
Assistant Professor of Physics
BioJunior Fellow, Simons Society of Fellows (2022 - 2025)
Ph.D., Princeton University (2022)
M.A. (Cantab.), Cambridge University (2018)
I’m broadly interested in theoretical, statistical, and observational cosmology, particularly as applied to galaxy surveys and the Cosmic Microwave Background. Recently, I have worked on measuring, modeling, and interpreting new and old physics in a range of cosmological datasets, and using them to learn about the early Universe, including inflation. With Mikhail Ivanov and Marko Simonovic, I won the 2024 New Horizons Prize in Physics, for work on the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure.
I am an assistant professor in the Physics department, affiliated with both the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) and the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stanford (LITP). Please send me an email if you're interested in working with me! -
