Current Research and Scholarly Interests Adoptive T cell immunotherapy entails engineering immune cells to recognize cancer-specific antigens and target them for destruction. Barriers to efficacy can arise from both tumor antigen related as well as T cell related features. I am interested developing noninvasive molecular tools that enable us to understanding these relationships to improve the clinical application and development of cellular immunotherapeutics.

Christine Mai-Anh Bui
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Cardiology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Along with my internal medicine and pediatrics background, I have always been interested in palliative care and end of life. I would like to apply these interests to pediatric cardiology and adult congenital cardiology, as these patients often are critically or chronically ill, and would benefit from a palliative care perspective.

Simon Boyi Chen
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio I completed an undergraduate degree in Biological Chemistry at the University of Toronto, followed by a medical degree at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Stanford Health Care (SHC). I am currently enrolled in the fellowship program in Molecular Genetic Pathology at SHC, and am slated to complete fellowship training in Surgical Pathology there as well. My interests include oncologic pathology, cardiothoracic pathology, molecular pathology, and applications of artificial intelligence and digital imaging in pathology.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests I work in the Davis Lab trying to characterize the tumor microenvironment of Ewing Sarcoma, with an eventual goal to better understand immune interactions in hopes of improving immunotherapy for these tumors.
I am also interested in the history of medicine, specifically viewing current diseases through a historical prism, such as reading original accounts of diseases, laboratory results, and study protocols. Medicine is naturally a historical discipline: as knowledge accumulates, so medicine as a field progresses. Furthermore, by studying medicine in a historical context, I believe it enriches our current practice by connecting us with our predecessor physicians. -

Jonathan Lavezo
Fellow in Pathology
Bio A native of Texas, Jonathan attended the University of North Texas in his hometown of Denton. After obtaining a double major in chemistry and biochemistry, he moved to the west Texas town of El Paso to attend the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine. Here is where he developed a deep interest in neuroendocrine disorders, in particular pituitary adenomas. He is currently an anatomic pathology resident at Stanford University and will begin his neuropathology fellowship starting in July of 2017.

Adrienne H. Long, MD, PhD
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio Adrienne H. Long, MD, PhD is a fellow in the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. Dr. Long attend Northwestern University, where she earned both her BS in biomedical engineering and her MD. Determined to help develop novel treatments for pediatric cancer patients, she took time during medical school to pursue a PhD at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where she helped advance CAR T cell therapies with Dr. Crystal Mackall. Her influential thesis work was the first to identify T cell exhaustion as a critical factor limiting efficacy of CAR therapies (Long et al., Nature Medicine, 2015), and also identified novel methods to enhance CAR therapies for pediatric solid tumor patients (Long/Highfill et al., Cancer Immunology Research, 2016). Dr. Long went on to complete her pediatrics residency training at Boston Children?s Hospital, where she continued her research in cancer immunology with Dr. Nicholas Haining ? this time focusing on strategies to enhance antigen presentation to augment checkpoint blockade (Long et al. Keystone Symposium on Cancer Immunotherapy, 2019). She remains dedicated to a career as a physician-scientist focused on developing novel immunotherapies for children with cancer.

Raúl Montiel-Esparza
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio Raúl Montiel-Esparza grew up in central Mexico and graduated with honors from Tecnológico de Monterrey Escuela de Medicina. Raúl completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in cancer immunology at Johns Hopkins University and trained at University of Texas Southwestern medical center for his Pediatrics residency. He has presented his work on leukemia and myelodysplasia several times at national conferences and has several publications and co-authorships. His experiences as a clinician, scientist, and advocate have ultimately inspired him to explore adaptive T-cell therapies in GHVD and decreasing barriers to bone marrow transplant and improving donor availability in Latin America.
