Douglas F. Levinson, M.D.
Walter E. Nichols, M.D. Professor in the School of Medicine, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Levinson directs the Program on the Genetics of Brain Function in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The program investigates the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and major depressive disorder), using genetic association, linkage and resequencing methodologies. In collaboration with Dr. Alice Whittemore, we are also actively engaged in statistical methods testing and development for genetic research.

Joseph Levitt, MD, MS
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the physiolgogic and biomarker characteristics of early acute lung injury (ALI) prior to need for mechanical ventilation. While, to date no pharmacologic treatment has improved survival in ALI, following the paradigm of early goal directed therapy for severe sepsis, clinical benefit may derive from identifying patients and initiating treatment prior to the need for positive pressure ventilation (and therefore prior to meeting current study entry criteria).

Maayan Levy
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Levy Lab studies how microbiome-brain interactions influence metabolism, behavior, and disease. By investigating how microbial signals affect neural circuits, we explore mechanisms underlying obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric conditions. The lab seeks to uncover new therapeutic targets using advanced neuroscience tools like optogenetics and imaging. Our research aims to improve understanding of how microbiome imbalances contribute to disease and how restoring balance can promote health.

Richard Jonathan Levy
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Pediatric) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Cardiology)
BioRichard J. Levy, MD, FAAP is Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and Chief of Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. He has been an NIH-funded clinician-scientist for over 20 years. His laboratory currently investigates the neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects of anesthetics in the developing brain and developing heart, respectively. Dr. Levy specifically focuses on both the mechanisms of action of anesthetics within mitochondria. He is currently funded to study and develop a benzoquinone molecule as a novel anesthetic. He is an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Pediatrics, Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, and Survey of Anesthesiology and serves as a regular reviewer for Anesthesiology, British Journal of Anaesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Neurotoxicology and Teratology, PLOS One, The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, and the American Journal of Physiology. In addition, Dr. Levy has served as an ad hoc reviewer for Science, Nature Medicine, Scientific Reports, and Nature Reviews Cardiology.
