Charles (Chuck) Eesley
Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the influence of the external environment on entrepreneurship. I investigate the types of environments that encourage the founding of high growth, technology-based firms. I build on previous literature that explains why entrepreneurs are successful and my major contribution is to demonstrate that institutions matter. I show that effective institutional change influences who starts firms, not just how many firms are started.

Elizabeth Egan
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.

Goar Egoryan
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine
BioI am a Clinical Assistant Professor and oncology hospitalist in the Division of Hospital Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. I care for patients with solid tumors admitted with complex, high-acuity conditions, including cancer-related complications, treatment toxicities, infections, malnutrition, and end-of-life care, making complex clinical decisions and navigating high-stakes situations with patients and families, often integrating input from multiple consulting teams.
I received my Doctor of Medicine degree summa cum laude from Novosibirsk State Medical University and completed a two-year rheumatology fellowship in Russia, a specialty defined by multiorgan complexity and the search for systemic connections. I later moved to the United States, where I completed an internal medicine residency at Ascension Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, IL. During residency, I was named Intern of the Year, received the Great Catch Award for identifying and correcting a patient care error, served as Chief Resident in my third year, and contributed to over 20 publications, half as first author.
My early training in rheumatology, a field centered on systemic disease and pattern recognition, continues to shape how I approach complex illness and informs my interest in integrative medicine. In my current practice, I already incorporate elements of integrative medicine by considering lifestyle, behavioral, and psychosocial factors alongside medical management when caring for complex patients. My current academic interest centers on bringing evidence-based integrative medicine into the inpatient oncology setting. I was recently awarded a Stanford SMART-HM grant to pursue formal training in integrative medicine and to develop a care model that addresses the needs of hospitalized oncology patients beyond disease-directed treatment, including symptom burden and psychological distress. My long-term aim is to expand this approach to broader hospitalized populations while improving patient experience and clinical outcomes. -

Burcin Ikiz
Adjunct Lecturer, Psych/General Psychiatry and Psychology (Adult)
BioBurcin Ikiz, PhD, is a neuroscientist whose work explores how climate change, environmental degradation, and broader ecological crises affect brain health across the lifespan. Her research focuses on identifying the neurobiological and psychosocial impacts of climate-related stressors, such as air pollution, heat, displacement, and food insecurity, and translating these insights into public policy, prevention, community-based adaptation strategies, and planetary health solutions.
Dr. Ikiz is the Founder and Director of EcoNeuro, a research initiative that bridges neuroscience and the environment, and the Chair of the International Neuro Climate Working Group (NCWG), a global consortium comprising over 300 researchers, clinicians, and public health experts. NCWG was recently recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the top global initiatives addressing the intersection of mental health and climate change. She is also the Co-Founder and President of Banyan Commons, a nonprofit action tank advancing ecological brain resilience.
In 2025, she was named a Grist 50 Climate Fixer, recognized among climate and justice leaders building equitable, science-driven futures. I advise international organizations, including the World Health Organization and the Council on Foreign Relations, and serve on scientific and advisory boards for leading climate and health initiatives, such as the Climate Mental Health Network and the Climate Cares Centre.
Her ongoing projects include developing a Brain Resilience Index and creating a landmark State-of-Science Report on climate change and brain health. She also leads international research and policy initiatives on heat, air pollution, brain aging, and neurodevelopment; has contributed to the State of Global Air 2025 report; and supports WHO efforts to develop training tools on air pollution, brain, and mental health. She is co-editing a forthcoming open-access book with MIT Press, Toward an Ecological and Green Neuroscience Universe. Dr. Ikiz is a frequent speaker at international policy forums, including the United Nations, COP, and World Bank thematic dialogues.
At Stanford, she contributes to transdisciplinary efforts linking psychiatry, neuroscience, and planetary health, with a focus on advancing brain health equity in an era of ecological change. She is also collaborating with Stanford’s CIRCLE Initiative, which spearheads community interventions for climate-related mental health.
