Minhui Su
Instructor, Pediatric Neurology
BioMinhui Su, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow at the Neurology Department. She is investigating neuronal activity-regulated glioma growth, specifically how membrane depolarization regulates glioma growth in the tumor microenvironment.
She obtained her PhD in Molecular Biology, with a focus on neuroimmunology, at the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) at Georg August University Göttingen, Germany. Her PhD research discovered that inflammation is an essential early step of myelin regeneration, and uncovered the roles of microglia (the resident immune cells of the central nervous system) in myelin damage response.

Shih-Po Su
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Shih-Po Su is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taiwan, in 2024. His doctoral research focused on the development of advanced optical imaging systems, including a three-dimensional near-infrared fluorescence and photoacoustic vascular imaging platform for preclinical applications.
Dr. Su has over a decade of experience in biomedical imaging, integrating optical system design, image analysis, and in vivo disease modeling. His research interests center on the interface of optical engineering and translational medicine, particularly in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) imaging and neuroprotective strategies for glaucoma. At Stanford, he is extending his expertise to short-wave infrared (SWIR/NIR-II) imaging and in vivo retinal functional imaging to establish sensitive biomarkers for neurodegeneration.
His recent work has advanced optical imaging and NIR-II contrast agents, including the co-development of polymer-dot probes for three-dimensional tumor and bone imaging (Chemical Science, 2022; Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2021) and an ultrabright polymer-dot platform for rotational stereo imaging (Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2024). He also designed integrated small-animal imaging systems combining bioluminescence tomography and ultrasound, as well as rotational stereo NIR-II fluorescence imaging (Optics Express, 2024; Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2023; Biosensors, 2022).
Dr. Su has received multiple international recognitions, including the Taiwan Science and Technology Hub@Stanford Postdoctoral Fellowship (2024), First Prize in the NYCU Annual Thesis Competition (2023), the Future Tech Award (MOST, 2022), and the MOST Pilot Scholarship Program (2019). His long-term goal is to develop regenerative medicine–based imaging and therapeutic platforms to address unmet clinical needs in neurodegenerative diseases and vision restoration. -
Leslee L.Subak, MD
Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Urology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the association of weight and urinary incontinence (UI) in women and clinical trials to test strategies to improve outcomes in women’s genitourinary health. We have shown the independent association of weight and UI and the efficacy of weight loss to treat women with UI. I also conduct studies of epidemiology, economics and cost-effectiveness, and novel interventions for UI, sexual dysfunction, vaginal atrophy, pelvic organ prolapse and menopause symptoms.

Aruna Subramanian
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research and scholarly interests have focused on tailoring antimicrobial prophylaxis in specific highly immunocompromised hosts depending on their specific infectious disease risks. I am interested in developing diagnostic algorithms and treatment protocols that will improve the quality of care in transplant and oncology patients.
I also have an interest in training ID fellows in this very specialized area of patient care. To that end, we have started a new ICHS ID fellowship with a specialized curriculum and are developing supplemental educational materials to enhance this training, which can be implemented at other academic training centers. -
Barathi Subramanian
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy research lies at the intersection of computer vision and deep learning, focusing on the development of intelligent systems to advance large-scale image analytics in computational pathology, emphasizing histopathology-based survival analysis, whole slide image classification, and multi-modal representation learning. Through this research, I aim to bridge perceptual understanding and medical reasoning, enabling models to achieve high predictive accuracy and offer clinically interpretable insights for precision medicine.

Sriram Sudarsanam
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioSriram is broadly interested in how cellular interactions shape neurodevelopment. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Science, and Masters at the Weizmann Institute. His doctoral research in Alex Kolodkin’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins addressed the development of idiosyncratic axonal arborization patterns of cortical neurons. He developed genetic strategies to visualize and perturb sparse populations of neurons in the mouse brain, using which he identified novel molecular and cellular determinants of spatially-restricted axon branching in vivo.
Now, as a postdoctoral scholar in Brad Zuchero's laboratory, Sriram is working to develop novel genetic tools to observe and perturb neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions in vivo. In collaboration with Ivan Soltesz’s laboratory, he aims to employ these tools to understand how myelination regulates neural circuit assembly and function. -
Thomas Sudhof
Avram Goldstein Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInformation transfer at synapses mediates information processing in brain, and is impaired in many brain diseases. Thomas Südhof is interested in how synapses are formed, how presynaptic terminals release neurotransmitters at synapses, and how synapses become dysfunctional in diseases such as autism or Alzheimer's disease. To address these questions, Südhof's laboratory employs approaches ranging from biophysical studies to the electrophysiological and behavioral analyses of mutant mice.

Takeshi Sugio
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oncology
BioI am a physician-scientist and hematologist focused on clinical translation of T-cell biology. I received my MD from Kyushu University, and subsequently completed Residency Training at Toranomon Hospital, the largest transplant center in Japan. I continued my Hematology training at Kyushu University, where I qualified as a Board-certified specialist (2017) and supervisory hematologist (2021) by the Japanese Society of Hematology. For my PhD (2014-19), I studied expression profiles and histologic features of TCLs. I discovered distinct TCL clinical groups identified by infiltrating immune cell patterns in the microenvironment. Based on my dissertation work (Sugio, et al 2018 Blood Advances), I planned and conducted a Phase II trial of PD1 inhibition for relapsed/refractory TCL (UMIN000034499). I joined the Alizadeh lab at Stanford in 2021, where I am developing tools to analyze immune status using liquid biopsies.
