Yongkai Liu
Instructor, Radiology
BioDr. Yongkai Liu is an instructor in the Department of Radiology, Division of Neuroimaging and Neurointervention at Stanford University. His research focuses on developing and evaluating advanced techniques to improve treatment decision-making and prognostication in brain diseases—particularly stroke—using imaging and deep learning. Dr. Liu is a recipient of the prestigious K99/R00 award for his work on integrating large language models with imaging-based deep learning for stroke outcome prediction.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Liu earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Biology in Medicine from UCLA under the mentorship of Prof. Kyung Sung. This rigorous training equipped him with a strong foundation in medicine, deep learning, and physics. His Ph.D. thesis, titled “Advancing Segmentation and Classification Methods in Magnetic Resonance Imaging via Artificial Intelligence,” focused on developing cutting-edge deep learning and machine learning techniques for MRI-based clinical applications. During his master’s studies, he conducted research on CT Virtual Colonoscopy under the guidance of Prof. Jerome Liang, an IEEE Fellow.
Dr. Liu has also made significant contributions to the academic community as a peer reviewer for leading journals, including The Lancet Digital Health, NPJ Digital Medicine, Medical Image Analysis, Medical Physics, Scientific Reports, British Journal of Radiology, BJR|Artificial Intelligence, Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, and IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems.
Dr. Liu is an emerging leader in neuroimaging, stroke research, and artificial intelligence. His work has earned wide recognition, including the K99/R00 Award, the 2024 AJNR Lucien Levy Award, the David M. Yousem Research Fellow Award in both 2024 and 2025, and selection as a semi-finalist for the 2024 Cornelius G. Dyke Award. These honors underscore his promise as an investigator and his potential to make significant contributions to the field (https://med.stanford.edu/rsl/news/yongkai-liu-receives-research-fellow-award.html). His research has also been featured in Neurology Today, including his early work linking chain-of-thought methods with clinical reasoning to help advance the use of large language models in real-world clinical care (https://neurologytoday.aan.com/doi/10.1212/netod-blogs.10000031). -

Nathan Lo
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research group is interested in studying the transmission of infectious diseases and impact of public health interventions with an ultimate goal of informing public health policy. We study a diverse set of pathogens, both domestically and internationally, including vaccine-preventable infections (including COVID-19) and neglected parasitic diseases (such as schistosomiasis). Our group applies diverse computational methodologies, including tools from fields of epidemiology, mathematical and statistical modeling, simulation, and policy analysis.
A large emphasis of our work is translating scientific evidence into public health policy. Our track record includes multiple studies that have changed policy in the fields of neglected parasitic diseases and COVID-19. We work closely with policy organizations like the World Health Organization and the California Department of Public Health. Nathan was the lead writer of the World Health Organization guidelines on schistosomiasis (2022) and strongyloidiasis (2024).
Our current research focuses on the following areas:
(1) Vaccine-preventable infectious diseases (including measles and COVID-19) in the United States, with a focus on studying vaccines, transmission dynamics, and re-emergence of vaccine-eliminated diseases (emphasis on measles)
(2) Public health strategies for control and elimination of globally important neglected infectious diseases, such as helminths infections (schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis) and typhoid fever
Our current NIH funded projects include:
(1) Real-time predictive modeling for public health departments to control infectious diseases (DP2 AI170485, PI: Lo)
(2) Precision mapping of Schistosoma mansoni risk for targeted public health control and elimination (R01 AI179771, PI: Lo)
Hiring
We are seeking to fill multiple research positions at all levels. Candidates interested in working on computational public health research related to infectious diseases with a strong quantitative background are highly encouraged to apply. If you an interested, please submit a cover letter, CV, and names of two references to Nathan.Lo@stanford.edu.
