Professor
Stanford University School of Medicine
Stanford, California, United States
Dr. Nolan is the Rachford and Carlota A. Harris Professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He trained with Leonard Herzenberg (for his Ph.D.) and Nobelist Dr. David Baltimore (for postdoctoral work for the first cloning/characterization of NF-B p65/ RelA and the development of rapid retroviral production systems). He has published over 300 research articles and is the holder of 40 US patents, and has been honored as one of the top 25 inventors at Stanford University.
Dr. Nolan well known for his ability to bring novel technologies to commercial fruition. His contributions to the implementation of mass cytometry (CyTOF) and its use for immuno-oncology research are a case in point, winning Nature’s “Outstanding Research Achievement” for 2011. My current research is focused on the development of multiparameter, single-cell tissue imaging technologies and computational approaches for systems immuno-oncology. Two recent innovations from my lab include multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) and CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX), which allow for simultaneous spatial quantification of 50+ parameters in a single tissue section. Another focus of my lab is the development and utilization of machine learning algorithms to interpret the large, high-dimensional datasets produced by CyTOF, multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI), and CODEX.
Additionally, Dr. Nolan is dedicated to teaching and mentoring. He is currently mentoring 9 postdoctoral fellows and 5 graduate students, and he has taught multiple courses at Stanford and through NIH-sponsored programs.
