C. Garrison Fathman
Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My lab of molecular and cellular immunology is interested in research in the general field of T cell activation and autoimmunity. We have identified and characterized a gene (GRAIL) that seems to control regulatory T cell (Treg) responsiveness by inhibiting the Treg IL-2 receptor desensitization. We have characterized a gene (Deaf1) that plays a major role in peripheral tolerance in T1D. Using PBC gene expression, we have provisionally identified a signature of risk and progression in T1D.

Mohsen Fathzadeh
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Here at Stanford cardiovascular medicine, I have been pursuing the career of characterizing cardiometabolic disease genes by joining my current advisors who co-lead international consortium on Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of insulin resistance (GENESIS) as the underlying risk factor of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Currently, we are scrutinizing the post-genomic studies of diabetes and glycemic traits associated loci by means of deep phenotyping approach i.e. multi-OMICs. I am, in particular, eager to harness these technologies to unravel the underlying cause of diabetes and the development of insulin resistance in the presence or absence (lipodystrophy) of obesity.
Here are two examples of our current theme of research we are following:
- Demonstrate FAM13A as the causative gene linking fasting insulin level and body fat distribution.
- Defined pathophysiological link of Human NAT2 and mouse orthologue, Nat1, to mitochondria function and cardiometabolic risk. -
William O Faustman
Clinical Professor (Affiliated) [Vapahcs], Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Bio Dr. Faustman received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Mississippi and completed his internship at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. He has an active interest in training, administration, forensic practice, and clinical care in inpatient psychiatry. His research interests have focused on severe mental illness with an emphasis in areas such as cognition and clinical assessment.. He serves as a member of the Stanford IRB and coordinates the American Psychological Association accredited postdoctoral fellowship program at the VA Palo Alto. He holds Chartered Psychologist status with the British Psychological Society,

Jeffrey A. Feinstein, MD, MPH
Dunlevie Family Professor of Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Professor, by courtesy, of Bioengineering at the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Research interests include (1) computer simulation and modeling of cardiovascular physiology with specific attention paid to congenital heart disease and its treatment, (2) the evaluation and treatment of pulmonary hypertension/pulmonary vascular diseases, and (3) development and testing of medical devices/therapies for the treatment of congenital heart disease and pulmonary vascular diseases.

David Feldman
Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Studies of the role of the vitamin D receptor in the action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active vitamin D hormone. Current efforts are evaluating the vitamin D receptor in breast and prostate cancer, osteoporosis and rickets.

Heidi M. Feldman
Ballinger-Swindells Endowed Professor in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My current research program focuses on the following questions: (1) Why do children born preterm experience adverse outcomes in cognition, learning, language, and reading? (2) How do interventions to improve reading and other skills affect skill development and structural properties of the brain in children born preterm and at term? (3) How can we improve health care delivery for all children with disabilities?

Dean W. Felsher
Professor of Medicine (Oncology) and of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My laboratory investigates how oncogenes initiate and sustain tumorigenesis. I have developed model systems whereby I can conditionally activate oncogenes in normal human and mouse cells in tissue culture or in specific tissues of transgenic mice. In particular using the tetracycline regulatory system, I have generated a conditional model system for MYC-induced tumors. I have shown that cancers caused by the conditional over-expression of the MYC proto-oncogene regress with its inactivation.
