Biography
Dr. Garry P. Nolan is the Rachford and Carlota A. Harris Professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Trained with Leonard Herzenberg (Ph.D.) and Nobel laureate David Baltimore (postdoc), he is known for cloning and characterizing NF-κB p65/RelA and developing rapid retroviral production systems. Author of over 350 papers and holder of 50 U.S. patents, he has received multiple honors, including the Teal Innovator Award, FDA BAAA, and Nature Publishing Group’s Outstanding Research Achievement. His research spans hematopoiesis, cancer, autoimmunity, inflammation, and systems immunology, with a focus on single-cell analysis technologies such as CyTOF, MIBI, and CODEX. Dr. Nolan has founded or co-founded multiple biotech companies, with several acquired by industry leaders. His current work applies high-dimensional imaging and cytometry to deepen understanding of immune function, pathogen response, and cancer biology, aiming to improve disease management and clinical outcomes.
