Dr. Christopher Bennett is a physician scientist and an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Once a basic scientist focused on genetics and genomics, Dr. Bennett’s work for the last several years has focused on large data-set analyses reflective of multiple multi-institutional studies aimed at better understanding how US emergency departments (and emergency physicians) can increase rates of HIV testing for at- risk patients.

Dr. Gen Shinozaki's research interests include investigation epigenetics mechanism of delirium pathophysiology, neuroinflammation and aging using human and mouse samples. Dr. Shinozaki's group aims to develop epigenetic biomarkers for delirium to predict, detect and monitor illness course, treatment response and patient outcomes. They are also working on a small point-of-care EEG device to detect delirium and predict patient outcome.

Dr. Neir Eshel (he/him/his) is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. His clinical focus is the full-spectrum mental health care of sexual and gender minorities, with particular interest in depression, anxiety, and the complex effects of trauma in this population. He works in collaboration with other primary care and mental health providers at the new Stanford LGBTQ+ program.

Dr. Scott Owen's lab studies how neuromodulation can shape the activity of targeted cell types and circuits to guide behavior. Their goal is to understand how specialized physiology, connectivity, and cell-signaling support the diverse functions of individual neuronal cell types. How can a deeper understanding of these features guide future therapeutic interventions for neurological diseases including Autism, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Parkinson’s Disease?

The lifetime risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) is determined by the genetic makeup and exposure to modifiable risk factors. Dr. Juyong Brian Kim's research laboratory is interested in understanding how various environmental pollutants (eg. tobacco, e-cigarettes, air pollution and wildfire) interact with genes to affect the transcriptome, epigenome, and eventually disease phenotype of CVD. The current focus is to investigate how different toxic exposures can adversely remodel the vascular wall leading to increased cardiac events.

Dr. Joyce Teng, MD, PhD is a professor of dermatology at Stanford University. She is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH) at Stanford and Stanford Hospital and Clinics (SHC). Dr. Teng received her medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 12 years. She is one of the 5 pediatric dermatologists practicing at LPCH and one of 72 at SHC who specialize in Dermatology.

Dr. Jiajun Wu is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, working on computer vision, machine learning, and computational cognitive science. Before joining Stanford, he was a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google Research. Dr. Wu is affiliated with the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL) and the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL) and studies machine perception, reasoning, and its interaction with the physical world, drawing inspiration from human cognition.

Dr. Tobias Gerstenberg leads the Causality in Cognition Lab (http://cicl.stanford.edu). The CiCL studies the role of causality in our understanding of the world, and of each other. In their research, they formalize people’s mental models as computational models that yield quantitative predictions about a wide range of situations. To test these predictions, the lab uses a combination of large-scale online experiments, interactive experiments in the lab, and eye-tracking experiments.

Dr. Brian Suffoletto is a practicing emergency physician and NIH-funded investigator with expertise in designing and testing digital behavioral interventions. After clinical training in Emergency Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, he completed a Master's of Science with a focus on Clinical Research. In 2014, he was awarded an NIAAA Career Development Award (K23) to develop skills and knowledge on addiction treatment and behavioral interventions.

Dr. Kevin Schulman was appointed as Professor of Medicine, Associate Chair of Business Development and Strategy in the Department of Medicine, Director of Industry Partnerships and Education for the Clinical Excellence Research Center (CERC) at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and, by courtesy, Professor of Economics at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business in June, 2018. He is the Founding Faculty Director of the Master of Science in Clinical Informatics Management (MCiM) Program in the Stanford School of Medicine.
