Maarten Lansberg, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research involves the design and conduct of clinical trials to discover new treatments for patients who have suffered a stroke. These trials span treatment of acute stroke, stroke recovery, and stroke prevention. My research in acute stroke is primarily focused on the use of advanced neuroimaging methods (CT and MRI) to select patients who are most likely to benefit from therapies aimed at restoring blood flow to the brain in patients who have suffered a stroke.

Meagan Lantz MSHS, PA-C
Affiliate, IT Services
BioMeagan Lantz, MSHS, PA-C, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience & Evolutionary Psychology from Harvard and continued her Physician Assistant education at George Washington University in Washington, DC. Meagan recently joined Stanford Healthcare as a Cardiothoracic Surgery Advanced Practice Provider (APP) fellow and is looking forward to starting her PA career focusing on the intricacies of caring for cardiothoracic surgical patients. Meagan first discovered her interest for cardiothoracic surgery while working as a clinical intern on the heart-lung transplant team at St. Vincent's Hospital in Darlinghurst, Australia. This interest was solidified when she shadowed a CT surgery team at Holy Cross hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Meagan also has a deep passion for wellness, nutrition, and exercise which helped her serve as the founder and chapter lead of the first PA focused Medicine in Motion chapter at George Washington University. Medicine in Motion is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 focusing on reducing clinician and student burnout through fitness, community, and philanthropy. As a former Division I softball player at Harvard, Meagan is passionate about teamwork, fitness, and promoting overall wellness within the community and looks to bring this excitement to her new role at Stanford Health Care.

Tobias Lanz
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
BioTobias Lanz, MD is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection and the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford. His research focuses on B cell biology in neuroimmunological diseases and rheumatic diseases with neurological manifestations. He uses high-throughput screening technologies, and methods from structural and cell biology to identify new autoantigens and to understand how certain self-reactive B cells escape tolerance mechanisms. He is particularly interested in molecular mechanisms that explain the association between Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and autoimmunity.
Tobias went to medical school at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Germany and at the University College of London. He wrote his MD thesis at Dr. Michael Platten's laboratory at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research in Tübingen, Germany before joining Dr. Lawrence Steinman’s neuroimmunological laboratory at Stanford as a research scholar. After medical school he pursued his scientific and clinical training at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany. In 2015 he joined Dr. William Robinson’s lab at Stanford, where he investigated environmental triggers of autoimmunity, including viruses and milk consumption. In his most recent work, he characterized the B cell repertoire in the spinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and identified molecular mimicry between EBV EBNA1 and the glial cellular adhesion molecule GlialCAM as a driver of neuroinflammation (Lanz et al., Nature, 2022). His long term objective is to leverage these newly discovered mechanistic insights to develop next-generation biomarkers and therapeutics for autoimmune diseases. -
Bryan Lanzman, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Radiology
BioDr. Bryan Lanzman completed his medical degree and radiology residency at Columbia University Medical Center, before coming to Stanford University for a 2-year Neuroradiology fellowship. He joined the faculty at Stanford in 2017 and is actively involved in medical student and resident education, as well as quality improvement efforts within the neuroradiology section. He also serves as a co-director of the Neuroradiology clerkship for medical students, and for the Neuroradiology elective for neurology residents.

Mathieu Lapôtre
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioProf. Lapôtre leads the Earth & Planetary Surface Processes group. His research focuses on the physics behind sedimentary and geomorphic processes that shape planetary surfaces (including Earth's), and aims to untangle what landforms and rocks tell us about the past hydrology, climate, and habitability of planets.
