Seema Nagpal, MD
Clinical Professor, Adult Neurology
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), NeurosurgeryCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm a board certified neuro-oncologist who treats both primary brain tumors as well as metastatic disease to the brain and nervous system. My research concentrates on clinical trials for patients with late-stage central nervous system cancer. I have a special interest in leptomeningeal disease, a devastating complication of lung and breast cancers. I collaborate with Stanford scientists to detect this disease earlier, and with our breast and lung oncologists to improve outcomes for patients.

Associate Professor (Teaching) of Genetics
BioHetanshi Naik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics and the Research Director of the MS Program in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. She is a board certified genetic counselor and clinical researcher with clinical expertise in the inborn errors of heme biosynthesis, the Porphyrias, lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), and pharmacogenomics, and research expertise in clinical trials, patient reported outcomes (PROs), qualitative methods, and study design.
Her research interests include developing and evaluating PROs for genetic disorders and genomics, in particular assessing PROs as outcomes for clinical trials, pharmacogenomics implementation, and genetic counseling education and processes, as well as utilizing digital health technologies to improve clinical care, genetic counseling, patient reporting, trial efficacy, and outcomes. -
Joe Nail
MBA, expected graduation 2026
Master of Arts Student in International Policy, admitted Autumn 2023BioJoe is the Founder and CEO of Lead For America, a nonpartisan national service organization building a stronger nation by enlisting exceptional Americans to serve in the places they call home. Through the Hometown Fellowship, Fellows serve in a paid, full-time capacity alongside a local leader in their hometown or home state for one year, before advancing into positions of community, state, and national leadership for decades to come. Joe founded Lead For America from his college dorm room in 2017 and has since raised more than $20M to make LFA one of the fastest growing nonprofits in America. LFA has been profiled nationally by outlets including the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CBS This Morning, and NPR. In 2020, Joe was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
Joe also serves as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army National Guard, graduated first in his class from Officer Candidate School, and competes as a member of the All-Guard National Marathon team at races nationwide. He previously represented the U.S. abroad through a State Department scholarship to Indonesia and a year-long Congress Bundestag scholarship to Germany.
He is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University where he will earn an MBA from the Graduate School of Business and a Master's in International Policy with a focus on U.S.-China relations and Great Power conflict. Joe graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UNC-Chapel Hill in 3 years as a Morehead-Cain, National Merit, and Coca-Cola scholar. He earned a Master's degree from Duke Divinity School, where he focused on the intersection of faith, public leadership, and military service. Outside of work, Joe is a National Geographic Young Explorer and dedicated Kansas City Royals fan, Ironman triathlete, mountaineer, and ultramarathon runner. His team and LFA are based in Kansas, where Joe was born and raised. -

Priya Nair
Research Asst - Graduate, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioI received my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Design from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. During my time at Georgia Tech, I worked as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Ajit Yoganathan's Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Lab. My project was focused on studying the contribution of foreign materials to thrombosis in transcatheter aortic valves using an in vitro flow loop. Beyond my research interests, I was also actively involved in the Society of Women Engineers, promoting outreach activities and creating mentorship opportunities for women in STEM.

Michitaka Nakano
Basic Life Research Scientist, Medicine - Med/Hematology
BioI am a MD/PhD postdoctoral fellow and medical oncologist with a long-standing interest in translational cancer research. My long-term goal is to be a lab-based physician-scientist and independent academic researcher, translating basic cancer research, and mentoring next-generation scientists. My thesis work in Japan focused on cancer stem cell equilibrium by uniquely applying organoid culture as a method to elucidate cancer stem cell dynamics, which was awarded in Japanese Cancer Association. Along with the development of the field represented by success in T cell checkpoint, my interest gradually shifted to immune oncology while I examined numerous numbers of cancer patients as a medical oncology fellow. My postdoctoral fellowship at Calvin Kuo Lab in Stanford (2019-present) focuses on tumor immune microenvironment. Kuo lab developed a unique 3D air-liquid interface (ALI) organoid system that cultures tumors while preserving their endogenous infiltrating immune cells (T,B ,NK, Myeloid cells). My postdoctoral work will prove the significance of organoids as a translational tool to discover tumor-immune interaction by novel checkpoint inhibitors for immune cells, which can be broadly applicable to basic cancer biology, precision medicine, therapeutics validation and biomarker discovery.
