John W. Thompson
Clinical Instructor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Thompson is a physician-scientist and Clinical Instructor in the Division of Comprehensive Neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He cares for adults across the full range of neurologic conditions. Deeply aware of how these conditions can reshape a person’s life, he is committed to partnering with patients and their families to navigate diagnostic and treatment challenges. He has a particular interest in caring for patients with complex medical comorbidities and those transitioning from inpatient to outpatient settings. His other areas of focus include neuroimmunology and the prevention of chronic neurologic diseases such as stroke and dementia.
Dr. Thompson earned his medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA as part of the UCLA-Caltech Medical Scientist Training Program, where he received the Richard D. Walter Award for Excellence in Neurology. He completed his PhD in Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology, studying how protein glycosylation affects neuronal signaling and metabolism. He went on to complete his neurology residency at UCLA, where he designed computational methods to resolve dementia subtypes in an unbiased manner. At Stanford, his research focuses on the development of novel multiomics technologies to understand the genetic and molecular underpinnings of frontotemporal dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders. Beyond the clinic and the laboratory, Dr. Thompson is a passionate educator dedicated to mentoring medical students and residents. Across all his work, his overarching goal is to help patients better understand and confront neurologic disease through the translation of high-dimensional data into meaningful clinical insights. -
