About
We are currently launching the new field of precision health using continuous health monitoring strategies including wearables, data analytics, and biomarkers to track the transition from health to disease. I have worked between industry and academia at the interface of molecular biology, bioengineering, medicine, and imaging. However, my primary focus has been combining molecular biology and imaging to better understand and treat human disease. I have created many new agents (drugs, contrast agents, small molecules) and approaches (light and gene therapies, imaging, medical devices) and have helped translate many of them into the clinic and/or as a commercial product. I have spent most of my career creating and combining a number of technologies for biomedical applications. As the Deputy Director of the Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics (PHIND) Center at Stanford I have helped to build a program in precision health comprising of over 35 projects and nearly 100 faculty.
