Kathryne Sanserino MD, FACOG, MSCP
Clinical Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - General
BioDr. Sanserino is a gynecologist whose work focuses on providing gynecologic care for cancer survivors, patients living with cancer, and at-risk women. She recognizes that patients who have faced cancer have unique gynecologic needs and she works closely with her colleagues in the Women's Cancer Center to provide sensitive, comprehensive gynecologic care for these women.
Some of the specific gynecologic symptoms that cancer survivors often experience include:
- Chemotherapy induced menopause
- Surgery induced menopause
- Management of menopausal symptoms with a history of hormone sensitive cancers
- Treatment of genitourinary symptoms of hormone blocking medications
- Decisions about decisions about oophorectomy (ovary removal) for breast cancer patients and women at high risk for breast cancer
- Discussions about family planning (fertility preservation, contraception, pregnancy) after cancer
- Sexual side effects such as lower libido, decreased arousal, and pain with intercourse
- Complications from Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor therapy
She is also a physician in the Menopause & Healthy Aging Program and works to help patients manage the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, diagnose and treat female sexual dysfunction, and utilize lifestyle medicine to treat and decrease the risk of chronic conditions associated with aging. She is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP).
She has been recognized as an outstanding medical educator, winning several awards for resident education. She is currently one of the assistant residency program directors for the OB/GYN residency. In addition to her office clinic work, she performs gynecologic surgeries and works with the OB/GYN residents to provide inpatient gynecologic care and perform emergency surgeries.
She has a background in community health work and quality improvement. She is committed to safe, equitable health care and has a patient-centered, evidence-based practice approach.

He has presented to his peers at national and regional meetings, including the Society of Biological Psychiatry Annual Meeting, History of Medicine Days at the University of Calgary, and the Advanced Learning in Palliative Medicine Conference at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Santiago is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, Canadian Neurological Sciences Foundation, and Ontario Medical Association. -
Serena Sanulli
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the organizing principles of the genome and how these principles regulate cell identity and developmental switches. We combine Biochemistry and Biophysical methods such as NMR and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange-MS with Cell Biology, and Genetics to explore genome organization across length and time scales and understand how cells leverage the diverse biophysical properties of chromatin to regulate genome function.

Mrinmoy Sanyal
Casual - Non-Exempt, Radiation Oncology - Radiation Therapy
BioMrinmoy Sanyal obtained his undergraduate and master's degree in Human Physiology at the University of Calcutta. He did his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, working on reproductive immunology, with the focus on trophoblast invasion and differentiation and their role in human blastocyst implantation. Then, he moved to Stanford University for a postdoctoral fellowship on the role of transcription factor Pbx1, a leukemia proto-oncogene, on B cell development. Currently, he is Research Scientist at Department of Biochemistry, Stanford University. His work covers various topics, including B cell responses to viral infection and vaccination, human primary immunodeficiency, and biology of lymphocyte development and function and to elucidate etiology of immunological disorders.

Chethan Sarabu
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - General Pediatrics
Affiliate, Pediatrics - General PediatricsBioChethan Sarabu, MD trained in landscape architecture, pediatrics, and clinical informatics builds anastomoses across these fields to design healthier environments and systems. He is a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medicine, Director of Clinical Informatics at Sharecare. Across these roles, he works on designing and implementing a wide array of innovations ranging from patient portals, EHR transformation, virtual clinical trials, and A.I. driven digital biomarkers, to health information policy initiatives all through a lens of health equity and patient privacy.
He takes care of patients in a community based academic general pediatrics practice at the Gardner Packard Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center, where he has also assisted with EHR implementation and transition. He cares deeply on involving children in their own care and strongly focused on protecting the privacy and confidentiality of adolescents in an increasingly digital healthcare system. He helped to form and co-chair the national workgroup, Shift which has been working to promote equitable interoperability.
Drawing on his background in landscape architecture, Chethan implements and researches nature based health solutions in collaboration with the Stanford Natural Capital Project. Finally, further exploring the role of environment and human health, he is shaping the emergent field of climate health informatics. -
