Barbara Sommer
Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University Medical Center, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the clinical investigation of cognitive stresses during younger adulthood that may give rise to frank intellectual impairment with older age. Examples may include specific kinds of chronically taken medications.

Hong Song, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Nuclear Medicine)
BioHong Song received his MD from Tulane University School of Medicine and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Tulane University. He performed research in targeted radionuclide therapy as a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University. Following medical school, he joined Dual pathway Nuclear Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology residency at Stanford. His current research interests include PSMA PET in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer and DOTATATE PET in PRRT for neuroendocrine tumors.

Leina'ala Song, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Song is a double board-certified sports medicine physician with Stanford Health Care Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Song completed fellowship training in orthopaedics and sports medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington.
Dr. Song specializes in managing a wide range of sports and musculoskeletal injuries. She performs ultrasound-guided injections including corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, and PRP. She is also skilled at using high-resolution ultrasound to perform other minimally invasive interventions, such as ultrasound guided percutaneous tenotomies and peripheral nerve hydrodissections. She is currently the primary team physician for numerous Division 1 athletic teams at Stanford University, including men’s volleyball, women’s volleyball, beach volleyball, lacrosse, open weight crew, light weight crew, softball, artistic swim, and sailing.
Dr. Song’s research interests include the long-term outcomes of percutaneous ultrasound-guided tenotomy, orthobiologics, and the health of the female athlete. She has taught sports medicine fellows as well as primary care residents. She has provided sideline coverage at multiple athletic events, as well as pre-participation screenings for professional teams such as the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Seawolves. -
Geoffrey Sonn
Associate Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Radiology (Body MRI)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interest is in improving prostate cancer diagnosis through MRI and image-targeted prostate biopsy. In collaboration with radiologists at Stanford, we are working to define the optimal role of MRI in prostate cancer. We hope to improve cancer imaging to the point that some men with elevated PSA may safely avoid prostate biopsy. For those who need biopsy, we are evaluating novel MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy, a technique that greatly improves upon the conventional biopsy method.

Justin L. Sonnenburg
Alex and Susie Algard Endowed Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goals of the Sonnenburg Lab research program are to (i) elucidate the basic mechanisms that underlie dynamics within the gut microbiota and (ii) devise and implement strategies to prevent and treat disease in humans via the gut microbiota. We investigate the principles that govern gut microbial community function and interaction with the host using a broad range of experimental approaches including studies of microbiomes in diverse human cohorts.
