Jonathan N. Myers
Clinical Professor (Affiliated), Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Myers is a Health Research Scientist at the Palo Alto VA Health Care System; a Clinical Professor at Stanford University (Affiliated), and a Senior Research Career Scientist Award recipient through the VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Program. His research has focused on primary and secondary prevention, and the clinical applications of exercise testing and rehabilitation in patients with cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. He has a lengthy history of studying the epidemiology of cardiopulmonary exercise test responses, physical activity patterns, and other lifestyle factors and their relation to health outcomes. He manages the Veterans Exercise Testing Study (VETS), an ongoing, prospective evaluation of Veteran subjects referred for exercise testing for clinical reasons, designed to address exercise test, clinical, and lifestyle factors and their association with health outcomes.
He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, his master's degree from San Diego State University, and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. He has been a board member for many organizations including the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and serves on the editorial board for 9 journals. He is a recipient of the Michael Pollock Established Investigator Award through the AACVPR, a recipient of the Steven N Blair Award for excellence in physical activity research from the AHA Council on Epidemiology and Prevention and is the 2022 recipient of the American College of Sports Medicine Citation Award. He is a fellow of the AACVPR, ACSM, American College of Cardiology, and the AHA, and has authored and co-authored guidelines on exercise testing and rehabilitation for each of these organizations, including the 2021 editions of the ACSM and AACVPR guidelines. -
Behzad Naderalvojoud
Biostatistician 2, Computational Medicine
BioBehzad Naderalvojoud is a biomedical informatics scientist at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science at Hacettepe University, Turkey, in 2020. He is immersed in the fields of machine learning, deep learning, natural language understanding, and Big data analytics and works on health knowledge discovery platforms that transfer Big health data from volume-based to value-based by generating relational knowledge leading to innovative treatments, predictive therapeutic outcomes, and early diagnosis. He was the leader of many industrial AI projects in the fields of healthcare intelligence and information management in the Eureka cluster programs.
Dr. Naderalvojoud has published several papers in the field of natural language understanding by working on word sense disambiguation, sentiment analysis, neural word embeddings, and deep learning models through national and international projects.
He is currently working on the funded NLM grant project "Advancing Knowledge Discovery for Postoperative Pain Management" under the supervision of Dr. Tina Hernandez-Boussard. He develops descriptive, predictive, and analytical tools using OMOP CDM for postoperative pain research to facilitate timely generation of evidence across multiple populations and settings. -
Michitaka Nakano
Basic Life Research Scientist, Medicine - Med/Hematology
BioI am a MD/PhD postdoctoral fellow and medical oncologist with a long-standing interest in translational cancer research. My long-term goal is to be a lab-based physician-scientist and independent academic researcher, translating basic cancer research, and mentoring next-generation scientists. My thesis work in Japan focused on cancer stem cell equilibrium by uniquely applying organoid culture as a method to elucidate cancer stem cell dynamics, which was awarded in Japanese Cancer Association. Along with the development of the field represented by success in T cell checkpoint, my interest gradually shifted to immune oncology while I examined numerous numbers of cancer patients as a medical oncology fellow. My postdoctoral fellowship at Calvin Kuo Lab in Stanford (2019-present) focuses on tumor immune microenvironment. Kuo lab developed a unique 3D air-liquid interface (ALI) organoid system that cultures tumors while preserving their endogenous infiltrating immune cells (T,B ,NK, Myeloid cells). My postdoctoral work will prove the significance of organoids as a translational tool to discover tumor-immune interaction by novel checkpoint inhibitors for immune cells, which can be broadly applicable to basic cancer biology, precision medicine, therapeutics validation and biomarker discovery.

Michael Nedelman
Adjunct Lecturer, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Michael Nedelman is a global health and media specialist who co-founded the Stanford Health Media Fellowship at the School of Medicine. He also works in global health tech with an organization called Maisha Meds, which uses technology to expand healthcare access in sub-Saharan Africa. Previously, Dr. Nedelman covered health and medicine as a journalist for CNN, earning an Emmy nomination for the network's acclaimed reporting on the Covid-19 pandemic. As producer for the inimitable Dr. Sanjay Gupta, he was part of a team known for excellent reporting and storytelling — also winning a Cronkite Award for tackling misinformation during the pandemic. Before CNN, he was a digital producer for the ABC News Medical Unit, worked on public health campaigns at the World Health Organization in New Delhi, and trained at the Stanford Journalism Program as part of the university's Global Health Media Fellowship. He received his MD from Stanford and did his undergraduate work in film at Yale.

Margaret Jane Neff
Clinical Associate Professor (Affiliated), Medicine - Med/Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
Medical Director--Vapahcs Medical Surgical Icu, Medicine - Med/Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care MedicineBioMy training is in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, and I've been blessed to be part of the care of many patients and their families. My clinical research interests have been in the field of critical care medicine and ARDS, a type of acute respiratory failure seen commonly in patients with severe injuries or illnesses. I also have a particular interest in evaluating and improving processes for care. Issues like standardizing processes to improve reliability, improving safety of handoffs, and exploring ways to teach "roundsmanship" (the process of discussing patients' care with a group of providers) are current interests of mine.
The future of medical care depends on training the next generation of providers, and I'm thankful to be part of training this next generation. Teaching at the bedside or in formal classroom settings gives me great joy and satisfaction. I'm delighted to work with a great, multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists. I add to that team our patients and families, for it truly takes a team to provide care that is both excellent and compassionate. -
