    Clinical Focus
    • Clinical Pathology
    • Mycobacterium Infections
    • Clinical Laboratory Techniques
    Research Interest

    Development and implementation of rapid diagnostic assays for the detection, identification, and susceptibility testing of clinically important mycobacteria. Understanding the role of M. tuberculosis lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis.

  • Academic Appointments Emeritus Faculty-Med Ctr Line,  Pathology
    Clinical Focus
    • Pathology
    • Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
    Research Interest

    In the Microbiology laboratory, we evaluate cutting-edge new technology for rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases, and we work with high-tech companies to help them develop new diagnostic assays at the pre-market stage. We do not perform basic research and we do not have any fellowship support.

  • Academic Appointments Professor,  Pathology
    Member,  Bio-X
    Member,  Stanford Cancer Institute
    Professor,  Microbiology & Immunology
    Professor (By courtesy),  Chemical and Systems Biology
    Research Interest

    Our lab uses chemical, biochemical, and cell biological methods to study protease function in human disease. Projects include: 1) Design and synthesis of novel chemical probes for each of the primary protease families. 2) Understanding the role of proteolysis in the life cycle of the human parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii. 3) Defining the specific functional roles of proteases during the process of tumorogenesis. 4) In vivo imaging of protease activity

  • Academic Appointments Professor - Med Center Line,  Comparative Medicine

    Professor - Med Center Line (By courtesy),  Pathology
    Research Interest

    Research interests: ocular pathology, host-pathogen interactions in infectious disease, infectious disease in frogs, phenotypic characterization of tg and ko mice, histopathology of minimally-invasive radiological ablation techniques (focused ultrasound, cryoablation).

  • Academic Appointments Assistant Professor - Med Center Line,  Pathology
    Research Interest

    My current research involves the investigation of immunoassay interferences from blood collection tube additives; particularly, silicone surfactants.

    Clinical Focus
    • Hematopathology
    Research Interest

    The lymphocytes of the human immune system share some biological properties with human cancers: in each case, there are subpopulations of cells whose genomes are rearranged and mutated compared to other cells in the body. Our goal is to understand the genotype-phenotype relationships in lymphoid cells that determine the behavior of human diseases. We apply new analytical methods, particularly high-throughput DNA sequencing, in parallel with functional assays, to tackle this challenge.

    Clinical Focus
    • Pathology Anatomic
    • Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
    Research Interest

    Our interests include: 1) The physiology and significance of lymphocyte homing in local and systemic immunity; 2) biochemical and genetic studies of molecules that direct leukocyte recruitment; 3) cellular and molecular genetic studies of leukocyte chemotaxis and the role of chemokines; 4) vascular differentiation in normal and pathologic inflammatory states; 5) systems and chemical biology approaches to understanding the regulation of lymphocyte trafficking programs.
