Ami J. Shah
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Stem Cell Transplantation
BioDr. Shah joined Stanford University in 2015 as a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Hematology/ Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Shah completed medical school at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. She completed her training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Her areas of clinical expertise have been in stem cell transplantation for malignant and non-malignant disorders. She has been actively involved with the care and treatment of children with primary immune deficiencies and is the site PI for the Primary Immune Deficiencies Consortium (PIDTC). She has experience in numerous gene therapy trials for primary immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathies and other genetic diseases. She has a specific interest in the long term outcomes following HSCT, in specific the neurocognitive function post HSCT. She has been an active participant in American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), Children's Oncology Group (COG) and American Society of Hematology (ASH).
She has been actively involved with mentorship and graduate medical education, and currently serves as the Program Director for the Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Fellowship and the Pediatric Stem Cell Fellowship. She also serves on the Pediatric Mentoring Group. -
Manish I. Shah, MD, MS
Professor of Emergency Medicine (Pediatrics) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Hospital Medicine)
BioI have dedicated my career to improving pediatric prehospital care on local, statewide, national, and international levels through research, education, and advocacy. My primary research interest focuses on integration of pediatric evidence into emergency medical services (EMS) systems. I serve on the Executive Committee of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) as the nodal Principal Investigator (PI) for the Charlotte, Houston, and Milwaukee Prehospital (CHaMP) research node. In addition, I am the PI for the Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures in EMS (PediDOSE) clinical trial and co-investigator for the Pediatric Prehospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (Pedi-PART). As an educational researcher, I have obtained several grants to produce an online EMS educational resource for physicians, create the Pediatric Simulation Training of Emergency Prehospital Providers (PediSTEPPs) program, and study the implementation of an EMS training curriculum for the Botswana Ministry of Health. As an EMS advocate, I led the Prehospital and State Partnership domains for the national EMS for Children (EMSC) Innovation and Improvement Center (EIIC), served as an appointed member of the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC), chaired the EMS subcommittee for the American Academy of Pediatrics Section of Emergency Medicine, and directed the EMSC State Partnership in Texas. I have published policy on pediatric readiness in EMS systems and co-chaired the workgroup that created the first-ever national assessment of pediatric readiness of EMS systems for the National Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project (PPRP).

Nigam H. Shah, MBBS, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Computational Medicine), of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe answer clinical questions using aggregate patient data at the bedside. The Informatics Consult Service (https://greenbutton.stanford.edu/) put this idea in action and led to the creation of Atropos Health. We build predictive models that allow taking mitigating actions, keeping the human in the loop.

Shailja
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioShailja is an engineer and computational scientist interested in the modeling of the human brain to study neurological diseases and guide neurosurgeries. As a Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute’s postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Jennifer A. McNab and Prof. Josef Parvizi, she investigates tractography-based neurosurgical targeting. She is interested in mapping the whole brain structural connectivity network from diffusion MRI to functional connectivity in the human brain. Shailja received her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara and BS from Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Her doctoral research is on Reeb graphs for modeling white matter fibers in the human brain, which was awarded the Winifred and Louis Lancaster Best PhD Dissertation at UC Santa Barbara.

Kat Adams Shannon
Affiliate, Psychology
BioKat studies how young children adapt their attention and learning behaviors to best match different early environments, with particular focus on understanding variability and strengths in contexts of early adversity. A key aim of her research is to create and collaborate on innovative uses of technology and statistical methods to support health, education, and developmental science.
