Seema Nagpal, MD
Clinical Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), NeurosurgeryCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm a board certified neuro-oncologist who treats both primary brain tumors as well as metastatic disease to the brain and nervous system. My research concentrates on clinical trials for patients with late-stage central nervous system cancer. I have a special interest in leptomeningeal disease, a devastating complication of lung and breast cancers. I collaborate with Stanford scientists to detect this disease earlier, and with our breast and lung oncologists to improve outcomes for patients.

Viet Nguyen, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Viet Nguyen is a neurophysiologist and Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at Stanford School of Medicine. His practice focuses on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring (IONM).
Dr. Nguyen was fellowship-trained at Stanford in Clinical Neurophysiology, with an emphasis in IONM.
The IONM service uses somatosensory and motor evoked potentials (SSEP, MEP), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) to help minimize risk in procedures that involve the nervous system. These include surgeries and endovascular procedures for cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid stenosis, brain and spinal tumors, spinal deformities like scoliosis and spinal stenosis, peripheral nerve injury and tumors, aortic aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia, facial dystonia, and others.
He has published, presented research, and lectured at national and international meetings on IONM topics, and is active in multiple professional organizations in the field, including the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, Society of Clinical Neurologists, and American Academy of Neurology. -

Junyoung Park
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Jun Young graduated from the Department of Biostatistics at the School of Public Health, Seoul National University, Korea. His major field of study is biostatistics, with a specific focus on the application of machine learning and statistical analysis to medical imaging and genetic data. During his doctoral studies, he concentrated on two primary research areas. Firstly, he dedicated himself to the development of deep learning models for medical images, primarily centered on T1-MRI and cognitive function test images related to Alzheimer's Disease. Secondly, he engaged in extensive genome-wide association analyses of medical images associated with Alzheimer's Disease, using statistical algorithms to uncover novel insights into the genetic factors contributing to this complex condition. Currently, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Greicius Lab at Stanford, he aims to develop statistical methods to discover novel structural variants and model polygenetic risk scores using long-read sequencing data.
