Toni Qian Cao, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Toni Qian Cao is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neuro-oncologist with Stanford Health Care.
Dr. Cao specializes in caring for brain and spine tumors, including low grade glioma and glioblastoma. She also has expertise in cancer that has spread (metastasized) to parts of the central nervous system (CNS), such as the brain and the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord (leptomeninges). She is committed to providing the highest quality care while prioritizing the goals and needs of her patients. She offers compassionate treatment and cancer management, with deep knowledge of tumor therapies and neurological complications of cancer.
Dr. Cao’s research focuses on improving the identification and treatment of brain tumors and metastases. She has investigated factors that impact the development of brain metastases from breast cancer, as well as treatment for leptomeningeal metastases from breast cancer. She has studied combination treatments for glioblastoma, a type of malignant brain tumor. She is also interested in novel neuroimaging techniques for both primary and metastatic CNS tumors.
Dr. Cao has published her research in peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of Neuro-Oncology; Neurology; and the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics. She has also written a book chapter on common early symptoms of CNS metastases.
Dr. Cao has presented her findings nationally at annual meetings of the American Academy of Neurology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Society for Neuro-Oncology. She has also spoken on panels and at regional conferences, including the Annual NeuroTech Convention of Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics.
Dr. Cao is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Society for Neuro-Oncology. -

Wilson Captein, PhD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Wilson Captein is a fellowship-trained psychologist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Captein specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). He adapts these therapies for patients with autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related disorders. He also tailors these treatment modalities to patients in the LGBTQ+ community by focusing on the impact of minority stress. Across all treatment modalities, he emphasizes compassion-focused therapy that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship via transparency, genuineness, and a non-hierarchical, collaborative dynamic.
Dr. Captein’s research interests include sexual identity, sexual health, and alternative sexualities. He has presented to peers at national and international conferences, including annual meetings for the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, and the Midwestern Psychological Association. -
Andres Cardenas
Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
BioI am an environmental epidemiologist and serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University. I joined the faculty at Stanford School of Medicine in 2022.
My research focuses on characterizing molecular and epigenetic biomarkers and the extent to which these alterations contribute to disease risk throughout the life course. My group utilizes computational approaches to investigate environmental chemical mixtures, biological aging markers and fetal epigenetic programming. We have several studies looking at chemical and non-chemical stressors in early-life and subsequent health including; neurodevelopment, obesity and immune function.
My research examines the intersection of chemical and social environments in shaping health and disease.
