Title(s): Associate Professor of Pathology, and of Microbiology and Immunology
Department(s): Microbiology and Immunology Pathology
Education: M.D. - Cluj, Romania M.D., 1993
Dr. Stan did his postdoctoral training 1994-1999 at University of California San Diego Medical in the laboratory of George Palade, where he worked on the role of caveolae/lipid rafts and fenestrae in the cell biology of vascular permeability. He joined the faculty at UCSD as a Project Scientist (1999 ) and Research Assistant Professor (2000) in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine continuing his studies of the molecular mechanisms of vascular permeability and the structures involved. In 2004, Dr. Stan joined the faculty of the departments of Pathology, and of Microbiology and Immunology at Dartmouth Medical School as an Assistant Professor.
Programs: Angiogenesis Research Center Program in Experimental and Molecular Medicine
