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 Winn - Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology (Reproductive & Stem Cell Biology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Winn Laboratory seeks to understand both normal and abnormal human placental development and biology as it relates to pregnancy health and obstetric complications. Through a combination of molecular, cellular, tissue and translational studies, a primary focus of the lab is understanding preeclampsia pathogenesis. -
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. -
Vipul Sheth - Assistant Professor of Radiology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Vipul Sheth's research interests are in translational research of magnetic resonance imaging related technologies to improve diagnostics and therapeutics. Specifically, Dr. Sheth has an interest in imaging and characterization of the tumor microenvironment, use of ultrashort echo time in Body MRI applications, and developing synergistic MRI methods to complement PET imaging for applications in PET/MRI. His clinical interests include pelvic floor disorders, pelvic malignancies, whole body MRI and MRI Guided procedures.

Vinod Menon - Rachel L. and Walter F. Nichols, MD, Professor and Professor (by courtesy) of Neurology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Menon’s group uses imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging to study the architecture of the cognitive networks in the human brain in order to learn how these networks are organized and how these networks evolve as the child develops, learns and matures. -
Vinit B. Mahajan - Associate Professor of Ophthalmology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Mahajan's laboratory's focus is the development of personalized medicine for eye diseases through translation of our discoveries in proteomics, genomics, and phenomics in humans, mice and tissue culture models. -
Vinicio De Jesus Perez - Assistant Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. De Jesus Perez's work is aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). -
Vincent (Rod) Hentz - Professor of Surgery, Emeritus
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Hentz's current research interests include: Nerve regeneration and repair, evaluation of repair methods, modalities to enhance peripheral nerve regeneration, development of improved methods to analyze nerve regeneration; implementation of functional neuromuscular stimulation to paralytic deformities; and computer modeling of upper limb function. -
Victoria Parikh - Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Victoria Parikh is cardiologist specializing in the care of patients with inherited cardiovascular diseases. She completed clinical cardiology fellowship at Stanford School of Medicine and her medical residency at the University of California, San Francisco. Funded by research grant from the NIH, she currently studies multiple causes of cardiomyopathy in the laboratory. She has a particular clinical and scientific interest in inherited arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, which are an increasingly recognized disease entity. Dr.
