Douglas F. Levinson, M.D.
Walter E. Nichols, M.D. Professor in the School of Medicine, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Levinson directs the Program on the Genetics of Brain Function in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The program investigates the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and major depressive disorder), using genetic association, linkage and resequencing methodologies. In collaboration with Dr. Alice Whittemore, we are also actively engaged in statistical methods testing and development for genetic research.

Katerina Levinson
Postdoctoral Scholar, Iberian & Latin American Cultures
BioKaterina Levinson is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Iberian and Latin American Cultures at Stanford. She received her BA in Spanish and Great Texts (Baylor University), and a Masters in Spanish literature (University of Oxford). She completed her D.Phil from the University of Oxford in Medieval and Modern Languages (Spanish), which draws from research she conducted in Spain. Her doctoral thesis is entitled, "Iconographic Strength: Female Agency through Immaculist Devotion in Calderón’s Marian Autos Sacramentales." Her doctoral research elucidates early modern feminism through a historical, philosophical, and textual framework. Through analysis of the iconographic association of women with Mary's warrior prowess in the conquest of evil, her thesis argues that Calderón complicates notions of gendered virtue by applying virtues to women that were traditionally understood to be reserved for men. She previously held appointments as a Lecturer in ILAC at Stanford and as Stipendiary Lecturer of Medieval Spanish at St. Anne's College, Oxford.
Her current research investigates the promotion of female authority in colonial drama and poetry. Drawing on the intersection of religion, visual art, and literature, she examines how Marian narratives in the Americas functioned as a vehicle for elevating women within the colonial sphere, revealing the ways in which devotional discourse became a site of female agency and cultural negotiation. Her primary research interests lie in early modern Hispanic drama and poetry, Mariology, moral philosophy and literature, women and gender, early modern sensory perception. -
Simon Levinson
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in NeurosurgeryBioSimon was born and raised in and around New York City. He moved to California to attend the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he obtained undergraduate degrees in both political theory and neuroscience. Simon continued his education at UCLA where he attended the David Geffen School of Medicine. While a medical student he worked under the mentorship of Dr. Carlos Cepeda to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying pediatric epilepsy. Additionally, under the mentorship of Dr. Ausaf Bari he created an MRI based structural atlas of the human brainstem. Simon is currently undergoing clinical training in neurologic surgery at Stanford University. He is interested in understanding how neural networks function and contribute to disease and how they can aid in developing novel treatment therapies. Outside of medicine, Simon enjoys spending time with his wife, going for hikes with their dog, traveling, listening to audiobooks, and running.

Yoav Levinson-Sela
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2024
BioYoav is a History Ph.D. student specializing in Early Modern Europe. His research focuses on the relationship between the production of knowledge and the moral communities of knowers sustaining them, particularly in northern German protestant universities and throughout the seventeenth- and eighteenth- centuries. More broadly, he is interested in the history of knowledge, the social and cultural history of science, the history of education, and the history of the book.

Joseph Levitt, MD, MS
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the physiolgogic and biomarker characteristics of early acute lung injury (ALI) prior to need for mechanical ventilation. While, to date no pharmacologic treatment has improved survival in ALI, following the paradigm of early goal directed therapy for severe sepsis, clinical benefit may derive from identifying patients and initiating treatment prior to the need for positive pressure ventilation (and therefore prior to meeting current study entry criteria).

Maayan Levy
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Levy Lab studies how microbiome-brain interactions influence metabolism, behavior, and disease. By investigating how microbial signals affect neural circuits, we explore mechanisms underlying obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric conditions. The lab seeks to uncover new therapeutic targets using advanced neuroscience tools like optogenetics and imaging. Our research aims to improve understanding of how microbiome imbalances contribute to disease and how restoring balance can promote health.
