Kathryn Barton
Associate Professor, Biology
Consulting Professor, BiologyCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsPlants make new leaves and stems from clusters of undifferentiated cells located at the tips of branches. These cell clusters are called apical meristems. We study transcription factors that control growth and development of apical meristems. Our studies include plants growing in environments rich in water and nutrients as well as in poor environments. The deeper knowledge of plant development gained from these studies will ultimately help increase food security in a changing environment.

Shawn Barton, MD, PhD
Instructor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Shawn Barton is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist with the Stanford Health Care Movement Disorders Center. He is also a clinical instructor in the Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Barton specializes in movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. With a deep understanding of neuroscience, he expertly diagnoses and treats many neurodegenerative and genetic conditions. He provides compassionate care focused on relieving symptoms and improving everyday life.
During his doctoral studies, Dr. Barton investigated drug delivery and the development of novel biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease using preclinical mouse models. As a physician-scientist, his research interests include identifying biomarkers for Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. He also focuses on developing clinical trials to advance potential disease-modifying therapies.
Dr. Barton has published his findings in several peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, and Journal of Biomolecular NMR. He also has presented at national conferences, including annual meetings of the American Academy of Neurology and the Society of General Internal Medicine. He has shared his research on a range of topics, including identifying methods of increasing blood-brain barrier penetrance for therapeutic delivery and using inhaled fluorescent markers to detect amyloid-beta plaques (a protein known to build up in the brain with Alzheimer’s disease) in the retina.
Dr. Barton is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association, and International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. -
Fiona Barwick, PhD, DBSM
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests focus on expanding sleep education, improving sleep health, optimizing treatment for circadian rhythm disorders, and adapting treatment for insomnia in populations where developmental, medical, psychiatric and cultural factors intersect.
Current research projects include developing and piloting integrated protocols for treating sleep problems that co-occur with medical conditions such as chronic pain or POTS. Ongoing collaborations include delivery of a CBTI protocol in Mandarin via telehealth to patients at Chongqing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in China. Past projects include investigation of the link between RLS and the gut microbiome and a survey of student sleep health.
