John Witte
Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health, of Biomedical Data Science and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Witte lab is a computational group developing and applying novel methods to decipher the mechanisms underlying complex diseases and traits. Recent research includes evaluating polygenic risk scores for trait prediction, investigating the shared genetic basis of cancer and other traits, and genetically adjusting biomarkers (e.g., prostate specific antigen) to improve disease screening.

Temesgen 'Tem' Woldeyesus
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Tem (Temesgen) is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care and Population Health. He obtained his medical degree at UCSF and continued his residency training at UCSF in Family and Community Medicine. He was selected as Chief Resident, where he further developed as a clinical educator and administrator, prior to joining the faculty group at Stanford. His academic interests include alternative models of care, clinical informatics, and digital health equity.
Dr. Tem Woldeyesus practices full-spectrum family medicine, which includes care for the entire age spectrum. He is driven to provide evidence-based, high quality, culturally competent care.
He is a native of the Bay Area. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his fiancée, playing (and watching) basketball, and exploring national parks. -
Albert J. Wong, M.D.
Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to define targets for cancer therapeutics by identifying alterations in signal transduction proteins. We first identified a naturally occurring mutant EGF receptor (EGFRvIII) and then delineated its unique signal transduction pathway. This work led to the identification of Gab1 followed by the discovery that JNK is constitutively active in tumors. We intiated using altered proteins as the target for vaccination, where an EGFRvIII based vaccine appears to be highly effective.

Evelyn Wong
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2028
Ph.D. Student in Biophysics, admitted Autumn 2025
MSTP StudentBioEvelyn Wong (she/her) is pursuing an MD at Stanford School of Medicine, and a PhD in the labs of Dr. Longzhi Tan (Biophysics) and Dr. Zhenan Bao (Chemical Engineering).
She graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University with a major in neuroscience and a minor in Spanish literature. Evelyn received the Herchel Smith Fellowship for her thesis project at the MIT McGovern Institute, developing a next-generation protein sequencing platform. In 2020, she founded CovEducation, a nonprofit bridging the academic achievement gap, which earned recognition from the Clinton Foundation for advancing educational equity in K-12 communities. As a Marshall Scholar, Evelyn earned an MPhil in the Division of Medicine at University College London, where she optimized existing neurotechnologies to investigate cortical brain function.
Evelyn is a recipient of the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship (2023) and the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans (2024), supporting her dual-degree training. Her current research focuses on developing flexible electrodes to record neural signals from deep brain structures. She also serves as co-director of the Stanford Asylum Collaborative, providing medical and psychological evaluations for individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Evelyn aspires to be a physician-neuroengineer, working at the intersection of asylee health and neurotechnology to address both technical and structural barriers to neuropsychiatric care. -
