Shannon White
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioHi, I'm Shannon White. I began my postdoctoral fellowship in Michael Snyder's lab in the fall of 2020. I received my PhD from Georgetown University in Tumor Biology in Chunling Yi's lab. My graduate worked explore the signaling and metabolic vulnerabilities of NF2-mutant tumors following YAP/TAZ depletion. My postdoctoral work is exploring the epigenetic hallmarks that contribute to colon cancer progression and drug resistance. I am developing colon organoids derived from pre-cancerous polyp tissue collected from Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients as a model system to investigate epigenetic and signaling responses to chemoprevention treatments.

Zachary Bruce White II
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in Radiation Oncology - Radiation TherapyBioI’m originally from Birmingham, AL. I completed my undergraduate education at Tuskegee University and majored in Biology/Pre-Health and minored in Bioethics. I also received a Master of Science in Biomedical & Health Sciences from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and completed medical school at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. Following graduation from medical school, my intern year was spent in my hometown at Brookwood Baptist Health Transitional Year Program. One of my favorite aspects of radiation oncology at Stanford is the opportunity to give compassionate medical care to our cancer patients while working with the latest state-of-the-art medical technology. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, exercising, traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my family & friends.

Sierra Hewett Willens
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Informatics & Data-Driven Medicine / Women's Health - Sexual & Gender Minority Health, expected graduation Spring 2025
BioSierra Willens is a medical student at Stanford interested in the intersection of healthcare and technology. In 2018 she was awarded a fellowship with Guangzhou Women and Children's Hospital to conduct AI research designed to combat socioeconomic and geographic barriers to medicine through scientific innovation. Her contributions have been recognized through numerous accolades with publications in Cell and Nature Medicine and over 3K citations in the literature. Her projects range from developing AI models for early detection of retinal diseases to predicting preterm birth and craniofacial abnormalities from perinatal ultrasounds, and assessing post-operative surgical outcomes using automated hand keypoint detection. Sierra has published seven chapters, served as a reviewer for medical journals, and was a contributor to the book, “Regenerative Facial Surgery.” Her work on regenerative facial aesthetics earned the Tiffany Award for Best Scientific Presentation. Through these pursuits, he research has earned her the Discovery Grant, Innovation Grant, and a year-long research fellowship from Stanford's MedScholars program. Lastly, Sierra received the Special Projects Initiatives Funding (SPIF) grant for cofounding Stanford's new MEDXBioDesign student initiation: a coalition between Biodesign and Stanford School of Medicine, designed to lead future generations of physicians on how to become critical, impactful collaborators in the sector of health care innovation.

Leanne Williams
Vincent V.C. Woo Professor, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator) and, by courtesy, of Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsA revolution is under way in psychiatry. We can now understand mental illness as an expression of underlying brain circuit disruptions, shaped by experience and genetics. Our lab is defining precision brain circuit biotypes for depression, anxiety and related disorders. We integrate large amounts of brain imaging, behavioral and clinical data and computational approaches. Biotypes are used in personalized intervention studies with selective drugs, neuromodulation and exploratory therapeutics.

Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories & Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator) and, by courtesy, of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention)
BioNolan Williams, M.D. is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab. The long-term goals of his research program are to develop innovative technologies and therapeutics capable of modulating the neural circuitry disrupted in mood disorders, OCD, and other neuropsychiatric conditions. His team has been developing neuroimaging-based approaches to precisely target therapeutic delivery and predict treatment responses to therapeutic neuromodulation and psychedelics. Dr. Williams earned his M.D. and completed his dual residencies in neurology and psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Triple board-certified in general neurology, general psychiatry, as well as behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry, Dr. Williams brings a comprehensive background in clinical neuroscience to his role as a clinically active neuropsychiatrist. His expertise extends to the development and implementation of novel therapeutics, including devices and novel compounds, for central nervous system illnesses.
Over the past decade, Dr. Williams’ laboratory alongside collaborators at Stanford University have pioneered multiple novel therapeutic and human neuroscience approaches. Notably, Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT) is the world's first non-invasive, rapid-acting neuromodulation approach for treatment-resistant depression. SAINT received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation Status (2021) and FDA Clearance (2022) and is the first psychiatric treatment to be covered by Medicare New Technology Add-On Payment (NTAP). As of April 2024, SAINT has been reimbursed for patients suffering from severe depression within inpatient psychiatric units. The SAINT technology is being deployed both clinically and in research protocols in laboratories and hospitals worldwide. Dr. Williams also has an expertise in psychedelic medicines for neuropsychiatric illness and is the first investigator to conduct mechanistic clinical trials exploring the neurobiological effects of ibogaine.
