Meet Stanford researchers whose work connects cell behavior, biological systems, and new approaches to disease.
Neuroscience & cancer
Monje’s work connects neuroscience with pediatric cancer biology. Her collaboration with Crystal Mackall helped bring GD2-targeting CAR-T cells into an early clinical study for diffuse midline gliomas.

Cancer systems biology
Plevritis uses computational and systems approaches to study cancer in its tissue environment. This perspective asks how the behavior of neighboring cells contributes to a disease often described only in terms of malignant cells.

Bioengineering
The Skylar-Scott Lab combines stem cell engineering, organoids, and 3D bioprinting. A central challenge is making dense tissues with vascular structures that help support their cells.
