Shawn Barton, MD, PhD

Instructor, Adult Neurology

BioDr. Shawn Barton is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist with the Stanford Health Care Movement Disorders Center. He is also a clinical instructor in the Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Dr. Barton specializes in movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. With a deep understanding of neuroscience, he expertly diagnoses and treats many neurodegenerative and genetic conditions. He provides compassionate care focused on relieving symptoms and improving everyday life.

During his doctoral studies, Dr. Barton investigated drug delivery and the development of novel biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease using preclinical mouse models. As a physician-scientist, his research interests include identifying biomarkers for Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. He also focuses on developing clinical trials to advance potential disease-modifying therapies.

Dr. Barton has published his findings in several peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, and Journal of Biomolecular NMR. He also has presented at national conferences, including annual meetings of the American Academy of Neurology and the Society of General Internal Medicine. He has shared his research on a range of topics, including identifying methods of increasing blood-brain barrier penetrance for therapeutic delivery and using inhaled fluorescent markers to detect amyloid-beta plaques (a protein known to build up in the brain with Alzheimer’s disease) in the retina.

Dr. Barton is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association, and International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Fiona Barwick, PhD, DBSM

Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests focus on expanding sleep education, improving sleep health, optimizing treatment for circadian rhythm disorders, and adapting treatment for insomnia in populations where developmental, medical, psychiatric and cultural factors intersect.

Current research projects include developing and piloting integrated protocols for treating sleep problems that co-occur with medical conditions such as chronic pain or POTS. Ongoing collaborations include delivery of a CBTI protocol in Mandarin via telehealth to patients at Chongqing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in China. Past projects include investigation of the link between RLS and the gut microbiome and a survey of student sleep health.
