Priscilla H. Wong, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
Bio Dr. Priscilla Wong is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is board certified in Allergy and Immunology and specializes in the treatment of allergic conditions, including asthma, chronic hives, eczema, and drug allergy.
Dr. Wong has authored articles on allergen immunotherapy and immunodeficiency published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. Specifically, her research has included studying environmental aeroallergen trends, systemic reactions to immunotherapy, and the role of complement screening in the meningococcal vaccination era. She is passionate about continuing clinical research that expands our present understanding of allergic disorders.
In the clinic, Dr. Wong strives to practice precision medicine and individualize therapies targeting specific inflammatory pathways. She enjoys building relationships and improving the lives of patients experiencing allergic diseases. Dr. Wong?s curiosity and compassion energize her clinical practice, motivate her research, and form the foundation to her philosophy of compassionate patient care.
Dr. Wong has global experience serving as a physician and medical officer in the United States Air Force for the last 10 years. Prior to joining Stanford, she served as a physician leader at the 56th Medical Group at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, where she practiced Allergy Immunology, taught medical students, and directed the operation of internal medicine and pediatric primary care clinics and ancillary services such as the cardiopulmonary lab.
A Bay Area native, she completed her undergraduate degree at Stanford and her medical degree at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, the nation?s federal medical school. She is board-certified in pediatrics, and completed a combined adult and pediatric allergy immunology fellowship at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio.
Dr. Wong has received numerous awards, including two Air Force Commendation Medals for Meritorious Service, as well as an Esprit de Corp Award upon graduation from medical school for demonstrating humanistic qualities and inspiring classmates toward their profession and service. Other honors include first place for Fellow Original Research Oral Presentation at the Harold S. Nelson Allergy Immunology Symposium at the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology Annual Meeting. She is excited to be back on the Farm and part of Stanford?s vibrant medical community caring for patients with allergic diseases. -

Edward H. Wood, MD
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests http://med.stanford.edu/woodlab.html
Edward H. Wood, MD is an assistant professor of ophthalmology practicing adult and pediatric vitreoretinal surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Wood engages in translational research with the goal of developing new therapies and approaches for patients without viable treatment options. He does so through leveraging the technologies of patient derived stem cells, optogenetics, and phenotypic drug screening in conjunction with active clinical research and surgical device development. Dr. Wood has filed numerous patents and founded several healthcare startups with the goal of improving patients? quality of life. His research interests include regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and pediatric retinal disease with the ultimate goal of pursuing basic science discoveries with potential for impactful clinical translation. His research interests are significantly inspired by his patients, and he is driven towards not only delivering the highest quality of care currently available, but also in developing the future standard of care in the field of medical retina and vitreoretinal surgery. -

John Fraser Wright
Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine)
Bio J Fraser Wright, PhD
Dr. Wright received his PhD in 1989 from the University of Toronto (Biochemistry) for studies
characterizing the interaction of complement with IgM, and completed post-doctoral studies at INSERM
/ CENG Grenoble, France in molecular immunology focused on antigen processing and presentation. He
was awarded a CRCS/ MRC Scholarship, gaining faculty appointment at the University of Toronto. In
1996 he joined industry as a Scientist at Pasteur Sanofi, contributing there to the development of
vaccines and cancer immunotherapies, and subsequently as Director of Development and Clinical
Manufacturing at Avigen, a gene therapy company that pioneered AAV-based investigational gene
therapies for hemophilia and Parkinson?s disease. In 2004 he returned to academia, establishing and
directing the Clinical Vector Facility at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics at Children?s
Hospital of Philadelphia, and gaining faculty appointment at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman
School of Medicine as professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Wright has contributed to
several clinical development programs in gene therapy, including for Luxturna and Kymriah, the first
gene therapies for a genetic (RPE65 deficiency) and non-genetic (CAR-T immunotherapy) disease,
respectively, approved in the United States, and for the first gene therapy clinical trial that delivered an
AAV-vectorized monoclonal antibody to human subjects for HIV passive immunity. He is a Co-founder of
Spark Therapeutics, serving there and subsequently at Axovant as Chief Technology Officer. In 2019 Dr.
Wright joined Stanford University as Professor of Pediatrics at The Center for Definitive and Curative
Medicine (CDCM). His research program aims to address key immunological barriers to gene therapy
through innovative approaches to viral vector design and generation, and to develop vectorized
antibodies for serious human diseases. -
Albert Y. Wu, MD, PhD, FACS
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My translational research focuses on using autologous stem cells to recreate a patient?s ocular tissues for potential transplantation. We are generating tissue from induced pluripotent stem cells to treat limbal stem cell deficiency in patients who are bilaterally blind. By applying my background in molecular and cellular biology, stem cell biology, oculoplastic surgery, I hope to make regenerative medicine a reality for those suffering from orbital and ocular disease.
