She is particularly interested in prevention, early detection, and outcomes in Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal cancer, and stomach cancer. In addition, she has published on new technologies and the use of artificial intelligence in GI. Her research has been published in multiple journals including Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology; Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology; and Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Dr. Zhou is an active member of multiple national GI societies. She currently serves on the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Guidelines Committee and AGA Trainee and Early Career Committee.

Sa Zhou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioSa Zhou completed her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the supervision of Dr. Xiaoling Hu and Prof. Yongping Zheng. Her Ph.D. research focused on quantitative evaluation and targeted therapeutics for sensory-motor rehabilitation in stroke patients. She developed strong interests in developing closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI)-driven neuromodulation and robotic systems, designing neuro-behavioral measurements, and understanding functional connectivity in brain networks based on multimodal neurophysiological signals. At Stanford, Sa will contribute her interdisciplinary expertise to the field of cognitive enhancement to prevent cognitive decline and brain aging in the elderly at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or AD related dementia (AD/ADRD).

Wenhui Zhou
Clinical Scholar, Radiology
Affiliate, Rad/Breast ImagingBioWenhui was born in Southeast China and then immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area as a teenager. He attended the University of California, Davis under a Regent Scholarship, and graduated with highest honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Wenhui subsequently pursued training in medicine and translational research in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Tufts University. In the Laboratory of Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser, Wenhui studied the regulation and function of transcription factors in triple-negative breast cancer with the goal of improving cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. Additionally, he pursued clinical research examining image-guided ablative therapy as a front-line treatment option for renal cancer under the mentorship of Dr. Ronald Arellano at Massachusetts General Hospital. Outside of his clinical and academic interests, Wenhui enjoys food, taking walks, listening to NPR, and spending time with family and friends.

Han Zhu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Zhu is an Assistant Professor of Medicine whose clinical and research expertise focuses on cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology. She specializes in the cardiovascular care of patients undergoing therapies for cancer, with a particular focus on the effects of immunotherapies on the heart. She received a bioengineering degree from MIT, medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, and completed clinical cardiology fellowship and internal medicine residency training at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Zhu’s laboratory focuses on myocarditis, cardiac inflammation, and the effects of cancer therapeutics on the cardiovascular system. Her current research employs clinical data, bio-banked samples, and in vivo/in vitro preclinical models in combination with single-cell technologies to study immune-based toxicities in the heart. Dr. Zhu's clinic sees cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology patients and her lab focuses on devising new methods for minimizing cardiovascular complications in the cancer and autoimmune patient populations.

Ying Zhu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
BioDr. Ying Zhu is a postdoctoral scholar in the Rosen Lab at Stanford University in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition. She received her PhD in 2023 from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. Her research studied the role of intestinal Acyl-CoA long-chain synthetase 5 in diet-induced obesity using inducible transgenic mouse model. Within the Rosen Lab, Dr. Zhu is focusing on intestine epithelial metabolic dysfunction in pediatric IBDs and chronic intestinal inflammation.

BioLindsey Zimmerman, PhD, is a Clinical and Community Psychologist, and Implementation Scientist at the National Center for PTSD, Dissemination and Training Division of the Veterans Health Administration.
Dr. Zimmerman is principal investigator of National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Veterans Health Administration (VA) research that enlists participatory system dynamics to increase timely patient access to evidence-based pharmacotherapy and evidence-based psychotherapy for depression, PTSD, alcohol and opioid use disorder.

Participatory System Dynamics vs Audit and Feedback: A Cluster Randomized Trial of Mechanisms Of Implementation Change to Expand Reach of Evidence-Based Addiction and Mental Health Care (R01DA046651)
The most common reasons Veterans seek VA addiction and mental health care is for help with opioid and alcohol misuse, depression and PTSD. Research evidence has established highly effective treatments that prevent relapse, overdose and suicide, but even with policy mandates, performance metrics, and electronic health records to fix the problem, these treatments may only reach 3-28% of patients. This study tests participatory business engineering methods to better meet the addiction and mental health needs of Veterans and the U.S. population.
Participatory System Dynamics for Evidence-Based Addiction and Mental Healthcare (R21DA042198)
Limited access and delays to high-quality, evidence-based mental health and addiction treatments can lead to patients getting too little or ineffective care and contribute to chronic patient impairment, relapse, and death by suicide or overdose. This study evaluates a system for resolving problems with patient flow and organization in health care systems, using electronic medical record systems and a high-level of input from healthcare leadership, frontline providers and patients.

Participatory System Dynamics vs Usual Quality Improvement: Is Staff Use of Simulation an Effective, Scalable and Affordable Way to Improve Timely Veteran Access to High-quality Mental Health Care? (I01HX002521)
Participatory system dynamics (PSD) helps improve quality with existing resources, critical in mental health and all VA health care. PSD uses learning simulations to improve staff decisions, showing how goals for quality can best be achieved given local resources and constraints. We aim to significantly increase the proportion of patients who start and complete evidence-based care, and determine the costs of using PSD for improvement.
