Chia-Hsin Hsu
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioDr. Chia-Hsin (Cindy) Hsu is a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Deshka Foster's laboratory in the Department of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her Ph.D. in Biomedical and Biological Sciences from Cornell University under Dr. Andrew White, where she studied how extracellular matrix remodeling and innate immune crosstalk shape tumor response to targeted therapy in BRAF-mutant melanoma. She previously earned her D.V.M. and M.S. in Veterinary Medicine from National Taiwan University. Dr. Hsu's current research focuses on two projects: developing a sustained-release hydrogel platform for localized JUN inhibition to prevent postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions, a leading cause of bowel obstruction and reoperative morbidity; and investigating stromal–tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) crosstalk in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to define how the tumor microenvironment shapes anti-tumor immunity.

Filza Hussain MD, FACLP
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Medical Psychiatry
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), Surgery - Abdominal TransplantationBioDr. Filza Hussain completed her medical education at Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan, and pursued psychiatry training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she was awarded the MJ Martin Award for Excellence in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and served as Chief Resident. She completed her fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Columbia University in New York City and is a Fellow of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry.
Before joining Stanford, she served rural communities across eleven counties in Northwest Wisconsin as the sole outpatient psychiatric provider for a Mayo Clinic satellite practice, while also serving on the board of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and teaching psychopathology as part of Crisis Intervention Training for local law enforcement.
Dr. Hussain joined Stanford University School of Medicine in 2017. She serves as Lead Psychiatrist for the Liver and Kidney Transplant Programs at Stanford Health Care and holds a courtesy appointment in Abdominal Transplant Surgery. Her clinical work centers on expanding access to transplantation for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. She contributed to the Stanford Limited Sobriety Pathway and led the development of FRAME-ALD (Fair and Risk-Aligned Model for Evaluation in Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease), a psychosocial risk stratification protocol now in active implementation at Stanford Health Care, built on the principle that all patients with alcohol-associated liver disease deserve individualized, evidence-based evaluation.
She developed the Immersion Series, an award-winning program bringing specialists from across medicine and surgery to teach Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry fellows, and served as Chair of the Education Committee and Associate Program Director of the fellowship, during which time she grew the program from two to four fellows and helped establish a Psycho-Oncology training track.
Her scholarly work spans transplant psychiatry, substance use in solid organ transplantation, and medical education. She has presented at national and international meetings and contributed chapters to major texts in transplant psychiatry and neuropsychiatry.
Dr. Hussain's interests include the role of psychiatric care in promoting equity in transplantation and the relationship between physician identity, wellbeing, and patient care. -
