    Develop statistical and computational methods for population genomics analyses; modeling human evolutionary history; genetic association studies in admixed populations.

  • Academic Appointments Assistant Professor - Med Center Line,  Dermatology
    Member,  Stanford Cancer Institute
    Member,  Bio-X
    Clinical Focus
    • Cancer  >  Cutaneous (Dermatologic) Oncology
    • Skin Cancer
    • Epidemiology
    Research Interest

    My research focuses on finding new ways to treat and prevent non-melanoma skin cancer. I am committed to bringing laboratory-based insights to benefit our patients. I am interested in these questions: 1. How do we prevent skin cancer? 2. What is the relationship between sunlight, vitamin D, and skin cancer risk? 3. Can we target certain tumor signaling pathways (Hedgehog pathway) to treat basal cell carcinomas - the most common cancer in the US?

    Cardiovascular Bioengineering, Simulation-Based Medical Planning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Image-Based Geometric Modeling, Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics.

  • Academic Appointments Assistant Professor,  Chemical and Systems Biology
    Member,  Bio-X
    Research Interest

    The Teruel Lab uses a combination of engineering and biological approaches including high-throughput screening of RNAi and DNA construct libraries, targeted mass spectrometry, live-cell fluorescence microscopy, and bioinformatics to investigate the systems biology of cell differentiation and cell signaling with particular focus on uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity.

  • Research Interest

    My research is in applied statistics and biostatistics. I specialize in computer-intensive methods for regression and classification, bootstrap, cross-validation and statistical inference, and signal and image analysis for medical diagnosis.

  • Academic Appointments Professor,  Anesthesia
    Member,  Bio-X
    Research Interest

    Molecular theories of anesthesia. My emphasis is on the molecular interactions of inhalational anesthetics and alcohol. I perform computational chemistry simulations on how these molecules bind to putative receptor sites. I am also interested in modeling receptor proteins in which chimeras cause loss or enhancement of anesthetic sensitivity.

  • Academic Appointments Professor (Research),  Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
    Member,  Bio-X
    Member,  Child Health Research Institute
    Research Interest

    Our primary interests are in the molecular underpinnings of vascular disease as well as assessing disease risk. In addition to targeted investigation of specific signaling molecules, we utilize global genomic analysis to identify gene expression networks and regulatory units. We are particularly interested in the role of microRNAs in gene expression pathways associated with disease.

    Clinical Focus
    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    Research Interest

    My research focus is on tumor angiogenesis. We are working on the contributions of progenitor cells in the formation of tumor vessels. We are particularly interested in a population of cells that are derived from putative "hemangioblast", and their role in vasculogenesis. We sumrise that these cells have a close association with cancer stem cells, and are essential in promoting tumor expansion.
