Ritwik Bhatia, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Bhatia is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist with Stanford Health Care and a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Division of Neurocritical Care at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Bhatia provides critical care to patients following acute neurological injuries, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. He focuses on patient outcomes and improving the quality and delivery of neurocritical care through education.
Dr. Bhatia’s research interests include understanding long-term outcomes for a range of critical care survivors and the impact of neurocritical care interventions, both routine and new, on these outcomes. He is actively working towards developing a post-neurointensive care recovery clinic at Stanford Health Care.
Dr. Bhatia has published in several peer-reviewed journals, including Neurology, Journal of Neurosurgery, and Stroke. He has presented to his peers at numerous national and regional meetings, including the American Academy of Neurology, Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, and American Epilepsy Society.
Dr. Bhatia is a member of the Neurocritical Care Society and American Academy of Neurology. -
Helen Bronte-Stewart, MD, MS
John E. Cahill Family Professor, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus is human motor control and brain pathophysiology in movement disorders. Our overall goal is to understand the role of the basal ganglia electrical activity in the pathogenesis of movement disorders. We have developed novel computerized technology to measure fine, limb and postural movement. With these we are measuring local field potentials in basal ganglia nuclei in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonian and correlating brain signalling with motor behavior.

Axel Brunger
Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOne of Axel Brunger's major goals is to decipher the molecular mechanisms of synaptic neurotransmitter release by conducting imaging and single-molecule/particle reconstitution experiments, combined with near-atomic resolution structural studies of the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery.

Marion S. Buckwalter, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and of Neurosurgery
On Partial Leave from 11/01/2024 To 10/31/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of the Buckwalter Lab is to improve how people recover after a stroke. We use basic and clinical research to understand the cells, proteins, and genes that lead to successful recovery of function, and also how complications develop that impact quality of life after stroke. Ongoing projects are focused on understanding how inflammatory responses are regulated after a stroke and how they affect short-term brain injury and long term outcomes like dementia and depression.
