Victoria "Vicki" Spencer
Adm Assoc 4, Pediatrics - Peds/Critical Care
BioA graduate of Purdue University, Vicki brings over 20 years of executive administrative support experience to her position at Stanford Medicine.
Prior to taking this role, Vicki supported the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Dental Officer for a group of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). She has also provided executive support to individuals in the field(s) of healthcare, food equity, and pre-clinical drug development.
Her passions are health equity and whole-system integrated care. -
Suhas Srinivasan, Ph.D.
Principal Bioinformatics Scientist, Dermatology
BioI develop computational methods to discover insights at various resolutions of the biological hierarchy i.e., molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organism and population-scale.
In my current role, I lead the bioinformatics efforts for two groups that are pioneers in epigenomics research.
We study tissue development, cancer evolution, and autoimmunity using multiomics, with a focus on the non-coding genome.
I have five years of professional experience in industry and academia, and over eight years of academic research experience.
I received my Ph.D. in Data Science specializing in machine learning development for diverse biomedical problems.
My research interests include artificial intelligence to identify novel patterns in multiomics data, psychometrics and neuroimaging data; structural bioinformatics and computational epidemiology. Additionally, I have conducted research in anomaly detection, and community detection in biological networks.
I am the co-inventor of a patented anomaly detection method for real-time streaming data. -

Current Role at StanfordInvestigating non-glycemic genetic effects on HbA1c using the Veterans Administration Million Veteran Program (MVP). HbA1c is a widely used test that reflects average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It is well known that certain genetic blood conditions, such as sickle cell disease, can cause HbA1c to be a misleading indicator of blood glucose levels. I am investigating the extent to which genetic variants can have this effect even without a diagnosis of one of these conditions. I am also investigating whether these effects are impacting clinical diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, and whether such impacts are reflected in health outcomes.
The impact of these variants has potentially been overlooked because they are very rare in populations with European genetic ancestry. As with the variant for sickle cell disease, they only persist when they provide an evolutionary advantage, such as protecting against malaria infection and its symptoms. Consequently, the genetic variants that I am analyzing do not appear in most genetic biobanks frequently enough to enable my analyses. MVP, however, includes genetic data for over 100,000 Veterans with African genetic ancestry, making it an ideal resource for this research. Since these variants are common among individuals with African genetic ancestry but practically non-existent in European genetic ancestry, this research may provide insight into racial health disparities in the US, particularly in T2D prevalence and outcomes.
I've also been a member of the department's JEDI Committee since its inception in 2021, providing assistance wherever I can. -
