Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Wendy Fantl’s lab studies two key questions with unmet clinical need related to drug resistance and immunotherapy focusing on ovarian and kidney cancers. The lab applies multi-parametric single-cell proteomic technologies (mass cytometry aka Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF) and multiplex imaging (CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX)) combined with specialized computational approaches to address these questions. -
Wei Gu - Assistant Professor of Pathology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Wei Gu is Assistant Professor of Pathology at Stanford University was trained as a physician, engineer, and scientist. He pioneered technologies in cell-free DNA 'liquid biopsy' testing, CRISPR diagnostics, clinical metagenomic sequencing, non-invasive prenatal testing, and COVID diagnostics. He has been awarded multiple extramural grants, including the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award, and a K08 from the National Cancer Institute. He is also a board-certified molecular and clinical pathologist and has a clinical practice within Stanford Healthcare.

Wah Chiu - Professor of Photon Science, Bioengineering, and of Microbiology & Immunology
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty, Clark Center FacultyDr. Chiu's research is the development of methodology for electron cryo-microscopy to determine 3D structures of macromolecules, molecular machines, organelles and cells. -
W. E. Moerner - Harry S. Mosher Professor and Professor of Chemistry and (by courtesy) of Applied Physics
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Moerner's laboratory utilizes laser spectroscopy and microscopy of single molecules to probe biological processes, one biomolecule at a time. -
Vivianne Tawfik - Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Tawfik's overall research interest is to understand how the immune system interacts with the nervous system after injury to promote the transition from acute to chronic pain. -
Vivian Feig - Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Vivian Feig is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department, beginning March 2024. The Feig lab aims to develop low-cost, noninvasive, and widely-accessible medical technologies that integrate seamlessly with the human body. They accomplish this by developing functional materials and devices with dynamic mechanical properties, leveraging chemistry and physics insights to engineer novel systems at multiple length scales.

Vivek Bhalla - Associate Professor of Medicine (Nephrology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Bhalla Laboratory uses in vivo and in vitro approaches to study mechanisms of glomerular and tubular physiology critical to kidney health and disease. The lab began working on fundamental regulators of tubular transport and have expanded to study these modes of regulation in metabolic disease including obesity, insulin resistance, and hypertension. -
Vittorio Sebastiano - Assistant Professor (Research) of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive and Stem Cell Biology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe focus of Dr. Sebastiano's research is the thread of Ariadne that connects germ cells, preimplatation development and pluripotent stem cells, with a specific interest in human development. -
Virginia Walbot - Professor of Biology, Emerita
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Walbot Lab has intriguing clues that a novel type of small RNA (phasiRNAs = phased small RNAs of 21 or 24 nucleotides) are critical for early steps in in anther development.
