    Stephen M. Hinshaw

    Assistant Professor (Research) of Molecular and Cellular Physiology

    BioStephen Hinshaw is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and the Faculty co-Director of the Stanford Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center (cEMc). His laboratory develops and applies cutting-edge tools in chemical and structural biology to uncover fundamental cellular mechanisms and translate these insights into powerful new pharmacological strategies.

    Stephen received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and earned his Ph.D. from the Harvard Program in Genetics and Genomics, where he discovered fundamental mechanisms governing chromosome segregation during mitosis. He then conducted postdoctoral research as a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard Medical School, with additional training as a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Janelia Research Campus. During this period, he used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of protein complexes that underlie genetic inheritance in normal and cancer cells. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Stephen led discovery efforts for new therapeutic modalities as a Senior Research Scientist in the Center for Therapeutics Discovery and at the Stanford Cancer Institute.

  • Andrea Hinton, MD

    Andrea Hinton, MD

    Clinical Assistant Professor, Dermatology

    BioDr. Hinton is a board-certified dermatologist who provides care at Stanford Health Care Dermatology Clinics in Castro Valley, Livermore, and Redwood City. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University School of Medicine.

    Dr. Hinton diagnoses and treats a wide range of general dermatologic skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. She also performs dermatologic surgery. She has a particular interest in hair loss (alopecia) and restoration, including the treatment of scarring, non-scarring, and chemotherapy-induced alopecia across all hair textures.

    Dr. Hinton’s research interests include side effects of cancer (oncologic) treatment that impact the skin (cutaneous side effects), including chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Her other research interests include digital health and patient access. Prior to starting her medical training, she researched state public insurance models and health disparities.

    Dr. Hinton has published her research in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice and JAMA Dermatology. She has also published her work in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and British Journal of Dermatology. Dr. Hinton has presented to her peers at national and regional meetings, including the New England Dermatological Society Clinical Meeting.

  • Kelsey Hirotsu, MD

    Kelsey Hirotsu, MD

    Clinical Assistant Professor, Dermatology

    BioDr. Kelsey Hirotsu is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She completed her fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery & Dermatologic Oncology at the University of California San Diego. During fellowship she received additional training in cosmetic dermatology and laser procedures. She completed her dermatology residency at Stanford after graduating from Stanford University School of Medicine with a scholarly concentration in bioengineering. Dr. Hirotsu earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

    Dr. Hirotsu has presented at national and international dermatology conferences. She is a regularly invited reviewer for peer-reviewed journals and has authored numerous publications in top dermatology journals.

  • Karen G. Hirsch, MD

    Karen G. Hirsch, MD

    Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Karen G. Hirsch cares for critically ill patients with neurologic disorders in the intensive care unit. Dr. Hirsch's research focuses on using continuous and discrete multi-modal data to develop phenotypes and identify signatures of treatment responsiveness in patients with coma after cardiac arrest. She is the Co-PI of PRECICECAP (PRecision Care In Cardiac ArrEst - ICECAP, NINDS R01 NS119825-01). The research team works closely with collaborators in data science at Stanford and with industry partners to apply machine learning analyses to complex multi-modal ICU data. Dr. Hirsch also studies neuro-imaging in post-cardiac arrest coma and traumatic brain injury, and with colleagues in Cardiac Anesthesia and Cardiothoracic Surgery, Dr. Hirsch studies neurologic outcomes in patients on mechanical circulatory support including ECMO.

    Along with colleagues in Biomedical Ethics, Dr. Hirsch studies brain death, organ donation, and neuroethics. She is the Co-PI of BCI-DEF (Brain Computer Interfaces and Disability: Developing an Inclusive Ethical Framework, NIMH 1R01MH130518-01) which is a BRAIN Initiative funded study that is qualitatively evaluating end user perspectives about the benefits, risks, and ethical challenges of Brain Computer Interfaces for patients with acute stroke or traumatic brain injury.

    Dr. Hirsch is broadly interested in improving neurologic outcomes after acute severe brain injury, identifying early phenotypes to guide precision medicine in neurocritical care, and exploring ethical issues in neurocritical care and novel neurotechnology. Dr. Hirsch greatly appreciates the importance of team science and collaboration.
