Lindsay Thomas, RN, MS, CNS
Affiliate, Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine
BioMs. Lindsay Thomas earned her BA in Integrative Biology from UC Berkeley in 2003 and her RN and MS from UCSF in 2006 and 2009 respectively. She completed a Double Master’s in Cardiovascular Nursing and Genomics and is a board certified clinical nurse specialist in critical care nursing. She joined the Stanford Interventional Cardiology Team in 2011 where she has pioneered the advanced practice nursing role in the cath lab and been a leader in the development of the Left Atrial Appendage Closure program. She serves as adjunct faculty for the UCSF graduate nursing program and is the co-chair of the Northern California Chapter of the Preventative Cardiovascular Nurses Association. Lindsay specializes in treating and caring for patients with established coronary artery disease and cardiovascular risk factors; she strives to provide excellent patient care and education to optimize a heart healthy life style to promote wellness with use of medications and invasive procedures when life style alone is not enough to achieve desired results. When not working Lindsay is an outdoor and exercise enthusiast, who enjoys participating in various endurance activities and has completed several triathlons. She also enjoys reading and discussions with her book club, going to the theater, and spending quality time with her friends and family.

Stefan Thottunkal
Other Tech - Graduate, Med/Quantitative Sciences Unit
Graduate Student Employee, Medicine - Primary Care and Population HealthBioStefan Thottunkal is a physician in training, Stanford researcher, and policymaker whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, precision medicine, translational science, and public health innovation. He completed the M.S. in Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford University as an IIE Quad Fellow, one of the world’s most selective international research fellowships, where his thesis centered on computational pharmacogenomics and the use of data-driven LLM methods to advance precision prescribing.
His research focuses on translating innovation into clinically meaningful and implementation-ready health solutions, with particular interests in pharmacogenomics, chronic disease, and AI-enabled decision support. He is especially interested in how machine learning and large language models can be used not simply as technical advances, but as robust clinical tools that improve prescribing, strengthen care delivery, and incorporate human centered design principles to effectively integrate precision medicine in routine clinical practice.
At Stanford, he contributes to the Han Lab’s research on advancing precision oncology in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, while helping lead NOURISH, a pioneering Stanford Medicine initiative reimagining cardiometabolic care through culturally tailored nutrition science, behavioral insight, and digital innovation. NOURISH advances a model of lifestyle medicine that preserves cultural relevance while applying rigorous scientific methods to improve metabolic health. By integrating culinary medicine with emerging technologies, the initiative is exploring how AI-enabled tools, personalized digital education, and interactive nutrition support systems can make evidence-based dietary guidance more adaptive, engaging, and scalable across diverse populations. His work in this space reflects a broader interest in how technology can help transform nutrition care from generic advice into a more personalized, culturally tailored, and behaviorally attuned form of preventive medicine.
In parallel with his research career, Stefan brings close to half a decade of experience advising the Australian Federal Government on major health and social policy initiatives. His international experience also includes mentoring hackathon teams in India and medical device development in Nigeria, where he contributed to dialysis device innovation and clinical trials design in resource-constrained settings. Together, these experiences reflect his broader commitment to advancing equitable, evidence-based, and culturally tailored global health innovation. -
Kumar Thurimella
Resident in Medicine
BioI am an Internal Medicine resident at Stanford in the Translational Investigator Program (TIP), with a planned fellowship in Rheumatology.
I worked as a software engineer at Uber before completing my PhD at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholar and my MD at the University of Colorado. My research sits at the intersection of computational biology and B cell immunology, using protein language models and structural AI to identify novel therapeutic targets in autoantibody-mediated diseases.
Outside the clinic and lab, I enjoy skiing, hiking, biking, and reading science fiction.
