Steven Coutre
Professor of Medicine (Hematology) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research integrates clinical care of patients with novel treatments for a variety of hematologic disorders. I see patients with a wide range of problems with a particular focus on chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma. I provide comprehensive consultative services as well as treatment for both the acute and chronic leukemias as well as non-malignant conditions such as clotting disorders and thrombocytopenia.

Markus Covert
Professor of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our focus is on building computational models of complex biological processes, and using them to guide an experimental program. Such an approach leads to a relatively rapid identification and validation of previously unknown components and interactions. Biological systems of interest include metabolic, regulatory and signaling networks as well as cell-cell interactions. Current research involves the dynamic behavior of NF-kappaB, an important family of transcription factors.

Robert Cowan, MD, FAAN
Clinical Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Current interest focus on patient education technology and patient/physician communication with a particular emphasis on tools which increase encounter efficiency and improve outcomes. Basic research focuses on mechanisms of action in Chronic Daily Headache, with a particular emphasis on New Daily Persistent Headache. Techniques include fMRI, biomarker investigation and evoked potentials. Clinical research includes clinical trials of novel treatments for episodic and chronic headache forms.

Colleen Craig
Instructor, Medicine - Endocrinology, Gerontology, & Metabolism
Bio Dr. Craig?s research interests center on examining the roles of incretin hormones in glucose metabolism, and the development and application of incretin-targeted therapies for improved glucose homeostasis. In particular, Dr. Craig?s clinical research focuses on the incretin gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 and its role in mediating hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia conditions, including post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). Ongoing investigations further examine potential mechanisms mediating PBH, as well as the cognitive, cardiovascular, and quality of life implications of recurrent severe hypoglycemia. Dr. Craig obtained her M.D. at Brown University School of Medicine and completed her postdoctoral research fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine in the lab of Dr. Tracey McLaughlin.

Lawrence Crapo
Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism) at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Investigation of the epidemiology of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at a public hospital. All cases of DKA at SCVMC occurring over the past 5 years have been identified. Of the 480 cases of DKA, about 1/3 are in Type II diabetics, and 2/3 in Type I diabetics. We are exploring the causes of DKA in the two groups.
