Vance Vanier, M.D.
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPrimary and secondary prevention of disease through the use of preventive genomic medicine. Patients who have greater insight into their genetic risk for different diseases may change their lifestyles and decrease their probablity of succumbing to conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular events. Personalized screening regimens for those at increased genetic risk, such as for colon cancer, is another important application worthy of validation.

Samuel Yang, MD, FACEP
Professor of Emergency Medicine (Adult Clinical/Academic)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Yang's research is focused on bridging the translational gap at the interface of molecular biology, biochemistry, genome science, engineering, and acute care medicine. The investigative interest of the Yang lab falls within the general theme of developing integrative systems-level approaches for precision diagnostics, as well as data driven knowledge discoveries, to improve the health outcome and our understanding of complex critical illnesses. Using acute infectious disease models with complex host-pathogen dynamics, the goals of the Yang lab are divided into 3 areas:
1) Developing high-content, near-patient, diagnostic systems for rapid, unbiased pathogen detection and characterization to personalize treatment options and duration.
2) Integrating multi-omics molecular and phenotypic data layers with novel computational approaches into advanced diagnostics and predictive analytics for acute infections.
3) Understanding the biological roles of the noncanonical structures of extracellular nucleic acids in the contexts of neutrophil extracellular traps and biofilms. -
Dong-han Yao, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioDong-han Yao, M.D., is a physician informaticist and emergency physician at Stanford University. Dr. Yao holds a B.A. in Molecular & Cell Biology and Immunology from University of California, Berkeley, and an M.D. from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He completed his Emergency Medicine Residency training at University of California, Los Angeles, and his fellowship training in Clinical Informatics at Stanford University.
Dr. Yao is an invited speaker at grand rounds, national conferences, and workshops on the topic of prompt engineering and generative AI for both healthcare and non-clinical applications around the country. He collaborates with the Stanford Health Care Data Science Team (DSatSHC) on both enterprise-level AI education and research, as well as co-development and evaluation of novel generative AI platforms and technologies for healthcare.
His scholarly and operational work include expanding patient access to acute care via virtual care, responsible integration of AI into medical education and the clinical continuum, and leveraging technology to streamline physician workflow and improve patient outcomes in the emergency department. His past informatics work includes award-winning usage of mobile devices to improve the efficiency and accessibility of medical documentation during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, creation of novel patient discharge mechanisms for academic hospital centers, and development and implementation of new interdisciplinary clinical pathways for the emergency department. Dr. Yao's clinical interests include critical care, cardiac emergencies, telemedicine, and novel care delivery models in emergency medicine. -
Maame Yaa A. B. Yiadom
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine (Adult Clinical/Academic)
BioDr. Yiadom is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University, leader, and researcher with expertise in clinical operations, care delivery, and strategic care delivery re-engineering. Her leadership involves finding value-generating opportunities to use routinely collected clinical data to inform more precise decision-making in clinical care delivery. This work involves the study, strategic deployment, and iterative redesign of novel care delivery pathway including digital health and artificial intelligence.
Dr. Yiadom was first trained in health care policy in Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs. She subsequently worked as a healthcare industry management consultant here in New York City for CSC Global Health Solutions Group, and was the Dean’s Office Chief of Staff at Drexel Medical School in Philadelphia. She completed her medical education at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, a Masters in Public Health (MPH) at Harvard with additional health policy training from Johns Hopkins. She subsequently did residency at Mass General and Brigham and Women’s Hospitals’ Harvard affiliated program, and completed a Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) at Vanderbilt University.
She is the Principal Investigator for the Stanford Emergency Care Health Services Research Data Coordinating Center (HSR-DCC). Her research focuses on applications of evidence-based medicine to optimize clinical operations to target patient pathophysiology for time-sensitive conditions. STEMI is her prototype disease. Her group's primary methodologies include clinical practice epidemiology, workflow variability analysis, and clinically applied artificial intelligence. Current work includes refining clinical process, using informatics to support evidence-based practice, and performance measurement to identify real-world care improvement opportunities. This research is supported by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and ED Benchmarking Alliance. The lab website is: https://yiadom-hsrdcc.com
Dr. Yiadom is also the Founding Director of the Emergency Department Operations Study Group (EDOSG), and on the Board of Directors for the Emergency Department Benchmarking Alliance (EDBA). -
