Matthew Gunther, MD, MA
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Medical Psychiatry
Clinical Assistant Professor (By courtesy), Medicine - Primary Care and Population HealthCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Gunther’s scholarly work focuses on neuropsychiatric syndromes arising in the context of medical illness, with particular emphasis on delirium, catatonia, psychopharmacology in the medically ill, and the psychiatric sequelae of critical illness. His research spans the identification, assessment, and management of acute brain dysfunction in hospitalized and critically ill populations, including studies evaluating delirium prediction tools, bedside diagnostic instruments, and neurorecovery outcomes following medical insults. He has contributed to the validation and clinical application of the Stanford Proxy Test for Delirium (S-PTD) and related delirium risk stratification efforts, and has authored systematic reviews and case-based scholarship addressing catatonia, alcohol withdrawal syndromes, and medication-related neurotoxicity. In parallel, Dr. Gunther’s work in integrated behavioral health and medical education examines how psychiatry-led, skills-based interventions can improve recognition of neuropsychiatric and trauma-related symptoms in primary care and inpatient medical settings. Across these domains, his research emphasizes translational, clinically grounded approaches that equip non-psychiatric clinicians to manage complex neuropsychiatric presentations with greater confidence and precision.

Richard Haarburger
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioRichard Haarburger is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Medicine (Primary Care and Population Health) at Stanford University, working in the lab of Pascal Geldsetzer. He studies questions at the intersection of epidemiology, health policy, and applied econometrics, with a focus on causal inference in large real-world health datasets.
His current work uses quasi-experimental and survival analysis methods to evaluate how preventive interventions (e.g. herpes zoster vaccinations) affect neurological outcomes such as dementia incidence at the population level. He also develops empirical strategies for dealing with challenges common in observational health data, including treatment effect heterogeneity, incomplete outcome follow-up, and competing risks.
Richard’s broader research interests include impact evaluation methods, causal machine learning, and the health and economic consequences of new technologies. During his PhD in quantitative economics, he worked on measurement bias in health surveys, high-dimensional forecasting, and heterogeneity in technology adoption. -
