CAP Profile

Dr. Pegram's Cancer Institute Profile

Dr. Pegram’s current research efforts include a continued focus on the cancer-associated gene that encodes HER2 and developing new ways to target cancer cells expressing this protein.
Mark Musen - Professor of Medicine (Medical Informatics)

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

CAP Profile

Dr. Musen's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Profile

Dr. Musen's research concerns automated approaches to the administration of clinical protocol guidelines, for informing health-care workers when guidelines may be applicable, and for reporting when treatment decisions seem to deviate from the practice patterns that current guidelines prescribe.
Mark Mercola - Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular)

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Stanford Profile

Dr. Mercola's Lab Homepage

The Mercola laboratory is focused on developing new therapies for cardiovascular disease: their research combines in vitro disease models using cardiovascular cells generated from induced pluripotent stem cells with high throughput screening to define disease mechanisms, identify drug targets and develop drug leads.
