  • Anuj Aggarwal

    Anuj Aggarwal

    Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    BioAnuj Aggarwal, M.D., is both a practicing anesthesiologist and pain specialist. Originally from Southern California, Dr. Aggarwal completed his undergraduate studies in biology with honors at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA. He earned his medical degree from University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine with distinction, completing the Health Professions Education (HPE) Pathway advanced program. He completed his internship at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. He then completed his Anesthesiology residency and Pain Medicine fellowship at Stanford Hospital, joining the faculty in 2018.

    In addition to his research and clinical areas of interest of perioperative pain, orofacial pain, and the history of medicine, he is the associate program director for the pain management fellowship, theme lead and course director for pharmacology for the medical school, and associate director for Science of Medicine overseeing the teaching of the various organ blocks in the pre-clerkship curriculum. He also is an E4C (Educator for Care) faculty member, teaching clinical skills, clinical reasoning and serving as a mentor to medical students throughout their training. In addition, he is involved within the anesthesia residency education programs through various committees, mentorship of residents, and direct teaching.

  • Nakul Aggarwal

    Nakul Aggarwal

    Resident in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

    BioNakul Aggarwal, MD, PhD, is a psychiatry resident on the research track at Stanford. He studies the mechanisms of neuroplasticity in very early development, with a focus on white matter and myelination, and how they can be engaged therapeutically — with the goal of not only treating but preventing psychiatric illness. Working across mice, nonhuman primates, and children, he combines multimodal neuroimaging with pharmacological repurposing and brain stimulation to identify when developing circuits are most tractable and whether intervening in those windows can shift the course of psychopathology. He completed his MD and PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
