Blynn L. Shideler III
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering, expected graduation Spring 2025
BioBlynn Shideler grew up in Pittsburgh and managed a local Dunkin Donuts before starting college at Washington & Jefferson College. At Washington & Jefferson, he wrestled in the 2015 NCAA D-III national team championships and studied neurological movement disorders as a Magellan Scholar at the University of Paris. Blynn earned a B.A. in physics & French from Washington & Jefferson before enrolling in a dual degree program at Columbia University. At Columbia, Blynn sang for the Columbia Chamber Choir, volunteered in the Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital Emergency Department, and developed medical robotics with the Columbia Robotics & Rehabilitation Laboratory while pursuing a B.S. in biomedical engineering. Throughout his undergraduate studies, Blynn spent a summer as a visiting student at McGill University and completed several global research fellowships, including positions at Hangzhou Dianzi University and Victoria University of Melbourne, where he studied medical robotics and developed technologies for pediatric physical disabilities. Blynn is the lead inventor on multiple patent applications for assistive technologies to help children with movement disorders.
After graduating from Columbia in 2019, Blynn spent a year at the NIH Clinical Center’s Rehabilitation Medicine Department working on the NIH exoskeleton for pediatric cerebral palsy. During his year at NIH, Blynn also volunteered as the Varsity Wrestling Coach at Rockville High School. At Stanford, Blynn created the Pediatric Rehabilitation Technologies Program, a project funded by the FDA's Pediatric Device Consortium that develops assistive devices for individuals with physical impairments. Through this program, Blynn started a company called BUDI, an Apple Watch technology for remote physical therapy, and directs a clinical study at Stanford Children's Health using electrical stimulation to improve walking biomechanics. Blynn’s long-term goal in medicine is to pursue a career in pediatric surgery and continue developing medical devices for children with disabilities. In his free time, he enjoys walking dogs on Wag Walking and live-streaming Runescape on Twitch. -

Kevin Thomas
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2024
MSTP StudentBioKevin Thomas is an MD/PhD dual degree candidate in the NIH-sponsored Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). He has a PhD in Biomedical Informatics. His research focuses on the development and application of machine learning methods for human mobility data including medical imaging, wearable sensor measurements, video, and kinematics collected from lab-based motion capture systems. He has developed open-source software and web applications used by researchers across the country to accelerate their study of mobility-related diseases.
Before attending Stanford School of Medicine, he was a Fulbright Scholar in Canada where he conducted research on the use of wearable sensors and machine learning for the assessment of sports performance in elite sprinters and basketball players in collaboration with Adidas. He has also worked with the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team, conducting player analyses and statistical modeling to support front-office decision making. -
Candice N. Thompson, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - General Surgery
Masters Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Autumn 2023BioDr. Thompson is a fellowship-trained breast surgeon, specializing in breast-conserving (lumpectomy) and mastectomy surgeries. She is an assistant professor with the Stanford School of Medicine Department of Surgery.
Her practice focuses on providing expert care for breast cancer patients using innovative approaches to breast tissue conservation, including nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). Dr. Thompson is actively involved in breast oncology research and publications. Her studies include two-stage NSM, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) recurrence, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the breast, perioperative changes to the nipple areola, and augmented reality using Microsoft HoloLens. Dr. Thompson has also been involved in research surrounding Rates of Immediate Breast Reconstruction Post Mastectomy: A Trend Analysis Across Race/Ethnicity and NSM after radiation.
Dr. Thompson is a member of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS), Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO), Society of Black Academic Surgeons (SBAS), Association of Women Surgeons (AWS), National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®), and American Medical Association (AMA). -
Blake Thomson
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioBlake Thomson is a health disparities researcher and medical student at Stanford. An epidemiologist by training, he holds an MPhil in Epidemiology from the University of Cambridge and a DPhil (PhD) in Population Health from the University of Oxford. He has held several posts focused on health equity science, with an emphasis on disease prevention among groups historically under-represented in medical research. He joined Stanford from the American Cancer Society, where he was Principal Scientist in Cancer Disparities Research.
Blake has authored or co-authored more than two dozen articles in medical and public health journals, including The Lancet and JAMA. His first-author publications have appeared in such journals as The Lancet Global Health, JAMA Oncology, and Circulation, among others. This work has received media attention from such outlets as The Washington Post, Nature, and The Atlantic. His clinical and academic interests are focused on ensuring individuals of all backgrounds benefit from the most promising and up-to-date scientific advances, particularly in the prevention and control of common and debilitating diseases. -
