Clinical Professor
Stanford University
Palo Alto, CA, United States
Hayley Gans is a Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University Medical Center. She spends her clinical time on the Pediatric Infectious Diseases service and Co-directs the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Program for Immunocompromised Hosts. In addition, she serves as the Director of Fellowship Education for the Department of Pediatrics. The focus of her research has involved investigations into the innate and adaptive immunity to viral vaccines in several different populations. Initial studies included infants receiving an early measles vaccination regimen which then expanded to include preterm infants, HIV infected adults and children, and children and adults undergoing solid organ transplantation. In addition, studies also included an expanded repertoire of viral antigens, such as CMV, poliovirus, varicella and mumps. Recently, she has expanded her research to address viral infections and immune recovery in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients and other immunocompromised hosts. During the pandemic, Dr. Gans has devoted her research time to understanding immunity to the SARS- CoV-2 vaccines in different immunocompromised pediatric populations. Additional research efforts are directed at bioinformatics in the immunocompromised cohorts and as well as studies in the arena of medical education including curriculum, learning environment, well-being, and leadership. Dr. Gans participates on multiple national and internal committees dedicated to advancing science for children and the education of medical trainees.
