Stanford University

Alexey Aleshin, MD
Internal Medicine Resident

Ash Alizadeh, MD
Assistant Professor, Oncology
Stanford University

 

Robert Ohgami: Dr Robert Ohgami received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard Medical School. He completed residency and fellowship training at Stanford University Medical Center and later worked as a post-doctoral fellow with Daniel Arber in the department of pathology at Stanford. Dr. Ohgami is now a clinical instructor in hematopathology and translational researcher at Stanford University who focuses on developing and implementing novel genetic and molecular tools for immediate clinical use.

Alexey Aleshin: Dr. Aleshin is an internal medicine resident at Stanford. He received a BA in Statistics and Molecular and Cell Biology at Berkeley, and he completed his medical degree at UCLA. He also received an MBA at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management.

Ash Alizadeh: The major focus of Dr. Alizadeh’s research group is to attain a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of lymphoid tumors, and their response to existing and novel therapies toward improving current treatment strategies. In this effort, they employ tools from functional genomics, computational biology, molecular genetics, and mouse models. They hope to apply this knowledge towards the design of clinical trials in the treatment of patients with lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma.

Stephen Quake, PhD, is the Lee Otterson Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University and is co-President of the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. He received a B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Mathematics from Stanford University in 1991 and a doctorate in Theoretical Physics from the University of Oxford in 1994. Quake has invented many measurement tools for biology, including new DNA sequencing technologies that have enabled rapid analysis of the human genome and microfluidic automation that allows scientists to efficiently isolate individual cells and decipher their genetic code. Quake is also well known for inventing new diagnostic tools, including the first non-invasive prenatal test for Down syndrome and other aneuploidies. His test is rapidly replacing risky invasive approaches such as amniocentesis, and millions of women each year now benefit from this approach. His innovations have helped to radically accelerate the pace of biology and have made medicine safer by replacing invasive biopsies with simple blood tests.
