Dr. Rosa Bacchetta's professional goal as a pediatrician specializing in immunology, has been to challenge the limits of "inexplicable" and "untreatable" diseases, and apply current scientific knowledge to understand the mechanisms of impaired cellular immune function underlying the clinical manifestations in order to develop curative treatments.

Dr. Roncarolo's goal at Stanford is to build the teams and infrastructure to move stem cell and gene therapy to the clinic quickly and to translate basic science discoveries into patient treatments.

Dr. Marsden's work focuses on the development of numerical methods for cardiovascular blood flow simulation, medical device design, application of optimization to large-scale fluid mechanics simulations, and application of engineering tools to impact patient care in cardiovascular surgery and congenital heart disease.

The Grillet lab's goal is to identify the comprehensive list of genes required for hearing and head motion detection, and ultimately characterize the function of these genes at the molecular level.

The Appel lab uses innovative science at the interface between supramolecular assembly and polymer science to tackle two key areas of critical importance to society: advanced materials and health.

The Mordecai Lab's research focuses on the ecology of infectious disease: They are interested in how climate, species interactions, and global change drive infectious disease dynamics in humans and natural ecosystems.

Dr. Ouellette seeks both to understand the physical principles that govern the spontaneous emergence of low-dimensional structure in high-dimensional systems and to harness this self-organization for engineering applications.

The Soh Laboratory group at Stanford University works to develop novel materials and devices to improve the condition of human health.

Dr. Wang's research group is discovery-driven, working at the interface between statistical physics, developmental biology, and bioengineering.

The Leeper laboratory studies the vascular biology of atherosclerosis and aneurysm disease.
