About

Xavier Gaeta, MD, PhD

Hi!

I am a Pediatric Nephrologist physician at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, formerly a resident physician at the UCLA Pediatrics residency program. I pursued both an MD and a PhD in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at UCLA's MSTP. 

My research interests are focused on modeling and manipulating developmental signals and programs to better understand disease and  to promote regeneration. I worked on developmentally regulated genetic programs and microRNAs in early neural development using pluripotent stem cells in the lab of William Lowry, PhD. And I am currently a postdoctoral fellow working in the lab of Calvin J. Kuo, MD, PhD.
