Bruno Passebon Soares, MD
Associate Professor of Radiology (Pediatric)
BioDr. Soares is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine and serves as the Section Chief of Pediatric Neuroradiology at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford since June 2023.
Born in Brazil, Dr. Bruno P. Soares obtained his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the Federal University of Sao Paulo. After one year as a Research Fellow at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Dr. Soares completed clinical fellowships in Diagnostic Neuroradiology, Pediatric Radiology, and Pediatric Neuroradiology at UCSF, in addition to a clinical fellowship in PET/CT at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. Soares holds a subspecialty certificate in Neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology (ABR).
From July 2013 to July 2016, Dr. Soares was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neuroradiology at Emory University in Atlanta. From August 2016 to November 2018, he worked at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology. From December 2018 to May 2023, Dr. Soares worked at the University of Vermont Medical Center as Associate Professor of Radiology, Division Chief of Neuroradiology, Vice-Chair of Imaging Research, and Co-Director of the MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging.
Dr. Soares has published more than 85 peer-reviewed articles and has been the recipient of the Research Fellow Grant from the Society for Pediatric Radiology and of the Rad_Britestar Award from the Johns Hopkins Department of Radiology. The recognition for his teaching includes the 2013 Outstanding Clinical Fellow / Instructor Teaching Award from the UCSF Department of Radiology, the 2017 Teacher of Year Award from the Johns Hopkins Division of Pediatric Radiology, and the 2017 ASNR International Outreach Professor Program in Ghana.
Dr. Soares currently serves as an Editorial Board Member of Neuroradiology and of the Journal of Neuroimaging, and has served as an Editorial Board Member of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and of the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR). Dr. Soares served for six years as a member of the ABR Neuroradiology Core Exam Committee, receiving ABR Volunteer Service Awards in 2022 and 2024.
His research has focused on neonatal and pediatric brain imaging. He is currently focused on developing semi-automated algorithms to quantify normal and abnormal brain development, and applying deep learning algorithms for detection of subtle cerebral abnormalities in children with epilepsy. -
Hyongsok Tom Soh
W. M. Keck Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering, Professor of Radiology (Diagnostic Sciences Laboratory) of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
BioDr. Soh received his B.S. with a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science with Distinction from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. From 1999 to 2003, Dr. Soh served as the technical manager of MEMS Device Research Group at Bell Laboratories and Agere Systems. He was a faculty member at UCSB before joining Stanford in 2015. His current research interests are in analytical biotechnology, especially in high-throughput screening, directed evolution, and integrated biosensors.

Ivan Soltesz
James R. Doty Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences
BioIvan Soltesz received his doctorate in Budapest and conducted postdoctoral research at universities at Oxford, London, Stanford and Dallas. He established his laboratory at the University of California, Irvine, in 1995. He became full Professor in 2003, and served as department Chair from 2006 to July 2015. He returned to Stanford in 2015 as the James R. Doty Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. His major research interest is focused on neuronal microcircuits, network oscillations, cannabinoid signaling and the mechanistic bases of circuit dysfunction in epilepsy.
His laboratory employs a combination of closely integrated experimental and theoretical techniques, including closed-loop in vivo optogenetics, paired patch clamp recordings, in vivo electrophysiological recordings from identified interneurons in awake mice, 2-photon imaging, machine learning-aided 3D video analysis of behavior, video-EEG recordings, behavioral approaches, and large-scale computational modeling methods using supercomputers. He is the author of a book on GABAergic microcircuits (Diversity in the Neuronal Machine, Oxford University Press), and editor of a book on Computational Neuroscience in Epilepsy (Academic Press/Elsevier). He co-founded the first Gordon Research Conference on the Mechanisms of neuronal synchronization and epilepsy, and taught for five years in the Ion Channels Course at Cold Springs Harbor. He has over 30 years of research experience, with over 20 years as a faculty involved in the training of graduate students (total of 16, 6 of them MD/PhDs) and postdoctoral fellows (20), many of whom received fellowship awards, K99 grants, joined prestigious residency programs and became independent faculty. -
Geoffrey Sonn
Associate Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Radiology (Body MRI)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interest is in improving prostate cancer diagnosis through MRI and image-targeted prostate biopsy. In collaboration with radiologists at Stanford, we are working to define the optimal role of MRI in prostate cancer. We hope to improve cancer imaging to the point that some men with elevated PSA may safely avoid prostate biopsy. For those who need biopsy, we are evaluating novel MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy, a technique that greatly improves upon the conventional biopsy method.

Justin L. Sonnenburg
Alex and Susie Algard Endowed Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goals of the Sonnenburg Lab research program are to (i) elucidate the basic mechanisms that underlie dynamics within the gut microbiota and (ii) devise and implement strategies to prevent and treat disease in humans via the gut microbiota. We investigate the principles that govern gut microbial community function and interaction with the host using a broad range of experimental approaches including studies of microbiomes in diverse human cohorts.
