Helen Bronte-Stewart, MD, MS
John E. Cahill Family Professor, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
On Partial Leave from 07/08/2024 To 01/05/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus is human motor control and brain pathophysiology in movement disorders. Our overall goal is to understand the role of the basal ganglia electrical activity in the pathogenesis of movement disorders. We have developed novel computerized technology to measure fine, limb and postural movement. With these we are measuring local field potentials in basal ganglia nuclei in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonian and correlating brain signalling with motor behavior.

Marion S. Buckwalter, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and of Neurosurgery
On Partial Leave from 11/01/2024 To 10/31/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of the Buckwalter Lab is to improve how people recover after a stroke. We use basic and clinical research to understand the cells, proteins, and genes that lead to successful recovery of function, and also how complications develop that impact quality of life after stroke. Ongoing projects are focused on understanding how inflammatory responses are regulated after a stroke and how they affect short-term brain injury and long term outcomes like dementia and depression.

Felix Chang, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Felix Chang's clinical practice mainly involves intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) and the treatment of neurological disorders with botulinum toxin. He earned his medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He completed his neurology residency at the Harvard Neurology Program at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He then went on to complete a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology with a focus in intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring at Stanford.

Steven Z. Chao
Clinical Professor (Affiliated), Neurology
Staff,BioDr. Steven Chao graduated from UCLA in biochemistry with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude. He then finished his combined MD/PhD training program from Chicago Medical School/Rosalind Franklin University with AOA Honors. Following his neurology residency at Stanford, he continued with a behavior neurology fellowship training at UCSF Memory and Aging Center, where he started research in dementia.
Currently, He serves as a staff neurologist at the Palo Alto VA and with an appointment at the Stanford Department of Neurology as a clinical professor (affiliated). His current research interest is in early imaging diagnosis of dementia and early treatment/prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive treatment in traumatic brain injury, and alternative treatments for headache.
Community and academic education about dementia and cognitive health has always been his passion, and he continues to publish research articles and book chapters to support clinical education. -
Gaurav Mohit Chattree
Instructor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Chattree is a board-certified neurologist with the Stanford Movement Disorders Center and an Instructor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences. He provides comprehensive care for patients with movement disorders, which includes deep brain stimulation evaluation/programming and botulinum toxin injections. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Chattree conducts research in the lab of Dr. Mark Schnitzer at Stanford, where he uses optical and genetic techniques in mice to develop new treatments for movement disorders.

Roberto Chulluncuy Rivas
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in NeurologyBioDr. Roberto Chulluncuy-Rivas is a Neurologist originally from Peru. He earned his medical degree from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas in Lima-Peru, and subsequently completed his Neurology residency at the University of Cincinnati.
Prior to his residency, he pursued his interest in Vascular Neurology through stroke rotations at the University of Miami and UCLA. During his residency at the University of Cincinnati, he was honored with induction into the Gold Humanism Honor Society and received the prestigious Arnold P. Gold Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award.
Currently, Dr. Chulluncuy-Rivas is advancing his expertise in Vascular Neurology/Stroke as a Vascular Fellow at Stanford University. -
Karly Cody
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioKarly Cody completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin in the lab of Dr. Sterling Johnson. Her doctoral research focused on characterizing the preclinical disease stage of Alzheimer's disease using health, biomarker, and cognitive profiles obtained in late-midlife. At Stanford, Karly's research combines neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers to study trajectories of aging, including healthy brain aging as well as Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
