Ash A. Alizadeh, MD/PhD

Moghadam Family Professor
Clinical Focus
Cancer > Lymphoma, Lymphoma, B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, Burkitt Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Diffuse Large-Cell Lymphomas, Leukemia, Hairy Cell, Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone, Hodgkin Disease, Medical Oncology
Research Interests
My research is focused on attaining a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of tumors, and their response to current therapies toward improving future treatment strategies. In this effort, I employ tools from functional genomics, computational biology, molecular genetics, and mouse models.

Clinically, I specialize in the care of patients with lymphomas, working on translating our findings in prospective cancer clinical trials.

Sean Bendall

Associate Professor of Pathology
Research Interests
Our goal is to understand the mechanisms regulating the development of human systems. Drawing on both pluripotent stem cell biology, hematopoiesis, and immunology, combined with novel high-content single-cell analysis (CyTOF – Mass Cytometry) and imagining (MIBI-Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging) we are creating templates of ‘normal’ human cellular behavior to both discover novel regulatory events and cell populations as well as understand dysfunctional processes such as cancer.

Stanford Professor of Food Allergy and Immunology and Professor of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Clinical Chemistry, Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, Hematopathology
Research Interests
Our goal is to understand the lymphocyte genotype-phenotype relationships in healthy human immunity and in immunological diseases. We apply new technologies and data analysis approaches to this challenge, particularly high-throughput DNA sequencing and single-cell monoclonal antibody generation, in parallel with other functional assays.

Alma-Martina Cepika

Assistant Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
Research Interests
Cepika Lab studies human immune tolerance. Using cellular immunology, genomics, and gene engineering, we aim to understand: 1) the role of human thymic regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inducible type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells in resistance to anti-tumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy, and 2) the interplay between innate and adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our overarching goal is to leverage our discoveries for improving patient outcomes.

C. Garrison Fathman

Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology), Emeritus
Research 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.
