    Vanessa Parli

    Managing Director of Programs and External Engagement, Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)

    BioAs Managing Director, Programs and External Engagement at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), I lead initiatives that foster interdisciplinary collaboration and connect academic research with real-world impact. My work includes managing HAI’s industry research partnerships, executive education, policy engagement and the AI Index, creating opportunities for leaders from diverse backgrounds to engage with cutting-edge AI research, its applications, and its potential for positive social impact.

    Before joining Stanford, I worked in management consulting, applying statistics, machine learning, and data science to advise government agencies, biotech firms, and nonprofit organizations. My work centered on making complex methods accessible to decision makers, ensuring technical rigor translated into actionable strategies.

    I hold an MS in Engineering Management and Computational Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Industrial Engineering from Arizona State University. I am passionate about turning bold ideas into impact, and am recognized for my collaborative, process-driven approach to problem-solving.

    Anca M. Pasca, MD

    Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
    On Partial Leave from 01/05/2026 To 04/19/2026

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe research focus of the lab is to understand molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders associated with premature birth, neonatal and fetal brain injury with the long-term goal of translating the lab’s findings into therapeutics. The research team employs a multidisciplinary approach involving genetics, molecular and developmental neurobiology, animal models and neural cells differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. In particular, the lab is using a powerful 3D human brain-region specific organoid system developed at Stanford (Nature Methods, 2015; Nature Protocols, 2018) to ask questions about brain injury during development.
