Stephen J. Galli, MD
The Mary Hewitt Loveless, M.D. Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The goals of Dr. Galli's laboratory are to understand the regulation of mast cell and basophil development and function, and to develop and use genetic approaches to elucidate the roles of these cells in health and disease. We study both the roles of mast cells, basophils, and IgE in normal physiology and host defense, e.g., in responses to parasites and in enhancing resistance to venoms, and also their roles in pathology, e.g., anaphylaxis, food allergy, and asthma, both in mice and humans.

Zinaida Good
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Stanford Cancer Center
Bio Zinaida Good, PhD is specializing in computational immunology, cancer immunotherapy, and lymphocyte development. She is a Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy scholar training as a postdoctoral fellow with Profs. Crystal L. Mackall (CAR T cells) and Sylvia K. Plevritis (Cancer Systems Biology) at Stanford University. Here, she is working to define features of successful CAR T cells in patients, and to understand CAR T effects on the tumor microenvironment. During her Ph.D. studies in Computational & Systems Immunology, she trained with Profs. Garry P. Nolan and Sean C. Bendall. Her projects included: (1) predicting clinical outcomes in children with leukemia based on single-cell mass cytometry data, (2) guiding T-cell differentiation in the context of ex vivo expansion for cancer immunotherapy applications, and (3) comparing dimensionality reduction methods for single-cell data. Her background is in immunology (B.Sc. and M.Sc. from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada) and oncology (she worked in Discovery Oncology at Genentech for 2 years). Her long-term interest is in the systems-level events required for a coordinated immune attack against cancer.

Steven Goodman
Professor of Medicine (General Medical Disciplines) and of Health Research and Policy (Epidemiology)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I am interested in issues relating to the representation and measurement of evidence in medical research, and determinants of the truth of medical findings, using a Bayesian framework. I also do work in evidence synthesis, comparative effectiveness research, and the ethics of clinical research.

Or Gozani
Dr. Morris Herzstein Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests We study the molecular mechanisms by which chromatin-signaling networks effect nuclear and epigenetic programs, and how dysregulation of these pathways leads to disease. Our work centers on the biology of lysine methylation, a principal chromatin-regulatory mechanism that directs epigenetic processes. We study how lysine methylation events are generated, sensed, and transduced, and how these chemical marks integrate with other nuclear signaling systems to govern diverse cellular functions.
