Leslie Adams
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
BioLeslie Adams, PhD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Public Mental Health and Population Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she focuses on addressing mental health disparities among people of African descent and marginalized communities. As a behavioral scientist, her research emphasizes the role of structural racism, gender norms, and psychosocial stressors in influencing mental health outcomes. Dr. Adams employs mixed-methods approaches, including ecological momentary assessment and passive data sensing, to explore real-time stressors like racial discrimination and their link to depressive symptoms and suicidality. Prior to her role at Stanford, she served as an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and was a David E. Bell Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies.

Maheen Mausoof Adamson
Clinical Professor (Affiliated), Neurosurgery
Staff, Neurosurgery OperationsBioDr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson is a Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery (Affiliated) at Stanford School of Medicine, Director of Research for Women's Operational Military Exposure Network Center of Excellence (WOMENCOE), and Senior Scientist for Rehabilitation Services at VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Adamson completed her undergraduate degrees in neurobiology and women's studies at the University of California, Irvine. She completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Southern California and a postdoctoral fellowship in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. She also has a Master's in Healthcare Leadership from the School of Public Health at Brown University. She is a faculty fellow for the Stanford Mussellum Biodesign Program and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)-Stanford. Dr. Adamson is also a Visiting Professor in Surgery at Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan.
Dr. Adamson’s expertise and interests span employing translational neuroscience methodologies for diagnosis and innovative treatment (specifically, using neuromodulation such as repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU), and Psychedelics (Ibogaine)) for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), cognitive and psychiatric problems, and Alzheimer's disease. She has used advanced structural and functional imaging and biomarker assessments to evaluate treatment response to neuromodulation and psychedelics in the Veteran population. She has been a leader in identifying sex differences in brain injury. The Adamson Lab is currently involved in neuromodulation clinical trials and collaborates internationally to develop advanced diagnostic and evaluation methods in neuroimaging, and designs precision medicine protocols for emerging treatments.
In her role as Research Director of WOMENCOE, she is developing the research and education center to investigate and disseminate findings on the impact of military environmental exposure on reproductive health, cancer, psychiatric illness, cognitive decline, and other women's health issues. This network is funded by the VA Health Outcomes Military Exposure Center under the Department of Veterans Affairs
Dr. Adamson is also the lead PI of the ENIGMA-PAK study that aims to Leverage Consanguinity in Pakistan to uncover the Genomic Architecture of Alzheimer's Disease. She has received recognition in national and international settings and serves on several editorial and industry advisory boards. She is also CEO and founder of her digital health startup, Soof Solutions Inc which uses eye tracking for communication in individuals lacking the power of speech. She is also intricately involved in mentoring postdoctoral fellows, residents, undergraduates, and high school students in STEM careers. -

Ananta Addala
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology)
BioDr. Ananta Addala is a pediatric endocrinologist and physician scientist at Stanford University addressing access in pediatric type 1 diabetes management and outcomes. As a physician with a background in pediatric endocrinology, epidemiology, and behavioral health, she aims to build an evidence-based approach to addressing T1D disparities by systematically evaluating youth-, family-, provider-, and system-level barriers to optimal diabetes care in youth who underutilize diabetes technology.
To date, her publications have demonstrated that the disparities in pediatric T1D by socioeconomic status are worsening in the US, provider bias against public insurance is common, and public insurance mediated interruptions to diabetes technology adversely impact glycemic outcomes. She has been leading efforts to recruit and retain individuals living with or at risk for a condition in clinical trials, through engagement initiatives, her leadership at Stanford Pediatrics, and her role as co-chair of TrialNet's Recruitment Engagement Committee.
