Calvin Santiago, MD, FRCPC, MSc (he/him)
Clinical Assistant Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Santiago is a board-certified neurologist with Stanford Health Care. He is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Division of Comprehensive Neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Santiago diagnoses and treats a wide range of neurological conditions, including headache, epilepsy, memory disorders, movement disorders, and neuropathy. He has a special focus on improving access to neurological care, including reducing patient wait times and directing patients to the most appropriate care provider by streamlining physician referrals. He also provides LGBTQ+ care.
His research interests include executive functioning and processing speed in older adults with coronary artery disease and using CT angiography in patients with acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. He has also researched speech-language changes in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Santiago has published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, including Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, Alzheimer’s & Dementia, and Cureus: Journal of Medical Science. He has presented to his peers at national and regional meetings, including the Society of Biological Psychiatry Annual Meeting, History of Medicine Days at the University of Calgary, and the Advanced Learning in Palliative Medicine Conference at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Santiago is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, Canadian Neurological Sciences Foundation, and Ontario Medical Association. -
Serena Sanulli
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the organizing principles of the genome and how these principles regulate cell identity and developmental switches. We combine Biochemistry and Biophysical methods such as NMR and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange-MS with Cell Biology, and Genetics to explore genome organization across length and time scales and understand how cells leverage the diverse biophysical properties of chromatin to regulate genome function.

Chethan Sarabu
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - General Pediatrics
Affiliate, Pediatrics - General PediatricsBioChethan Sarabu, MD trained in landscape architecture, pediatrics, and clinical informatics builds anastomoses across these fields to design healthier environments and systems. He is a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medicine, Director of Clinical Informatics at Sharecare. Across these roles, he works on designing and implementing a wide array of innovations ranging from patient portals, EHR transformation, virtual clinical trials, and A.I. driven digital biomarkers, to health information policy initiatives all through a lens of health equity and patient privacy.
He takes care of patients in a community based academic general pediatrics practice at the Gardner Packard Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center, where he has also assisted with EHR implementation and transition. He cares deeply on involving children in their own care and strongly focused on protecting the privacy and confidentiality of adolescents in an increasingly digital healthcare system. He helped to form and co-chair the national workgroup, Shift which has been working to promote equitable interoperability.
Drawing on his background in landscape architecture, Chethan implements and researches nature based health solutions in collaboration with the Stanford Natural Capital Project. Finally, further exploring the role of environment and human health, he is shaping the emergent field of climate health informatics. -
Kavita Sarin, MD, PhD
Professor of Dermatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research encompasses two main areas: 1) Using next-generation RNA, whole genome, and exome sequencing, we are investigating the genetic alterations involved in skin cancer progression, response to therapy, and other clinical outcomes and 2) We are developing and implementing genome-wide genetic risk prediction assessments for skin cancer into clinical use and studying the impact of this information on patient care.

Peter Sarnow
Burt and Marion Avery Professor of Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory studies virus-host interactions with an emphasis microRNA-mediated gene regulation and on translational control. The mechanism by which a liver-specific microRNA regulates hepatitis C virus genome replication is under intense scrutiny. In addition, the mechanism of internal ribosome entry in certain cellular and viral mRNAs and its biological role in growth and development is being investigated.

Clea Sarnquist, DrPH, MPH
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), Epidemiology and Population HealthBioDr. Sarnquist focuses on applied teaching and research on the development, implementation and evaluation of interventions to decrease gender-based violence, improve mental health, and prevent HIV infection, especially among adolescents and children. She is particularly interested in rights-based approaches that tackle the complex interplay of factors that lead to poor health for many children and families. All of her work is applied, with direct links health practice and policy, and usually performed in conjunction with non-governmental organization and government partners. She works both globally and in the U.S., with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. She is also a medical educator, directing the scholarly concentrations program of the pediatric residency at Stanford, co-directing the global health concentration for residents, and teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in global health with a focus on children and women’s health.
