Michael Snyder, Ph.D.
Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory use different omics approaches to study a) regulatory networks, b) intra- and inter-species variation which differs primarily at the level of regulatory information c) human health and disease. For the later we have established integrated Personal Omics Profiling (iPOP), an analysis that combines longitudinal analyses of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, DNA methylation, microbiome and autoantibody profiles to monitor healthy and disease states

Samuel So, MD
Lui Hac Minh Professor in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThrough a 4 pronged comprehensive program: translational and clinical research, early detection and treatment, promoting education, awareness and immunization and building partnership, we are working towards the development of new strategies that will lead to the elimination of hepatitis B worldwide and reduce the threat and incidence of liver cancer. Current research efforts focus on evaluating potential new diagnostic and treatment markers and novel targeted therapy for primary liver cancer.

Bruno Passebon Soares, MD
Associate Professor of Radiology (Pediatric)
BioDr. Soares is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine and serves as the Section Chief of Pediatric Neuroradiology at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford since June 2023.
Born in Brazil, Dr. Bruno P. Soares obtained his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the Federal University of Sao Paulo. After one year as a Research Fellow at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Dr. Soares completed clinical fellowships in Diagnostic Neuroradiology, Pediatric Radiology, and Pediatric Neuroradiology at UCSF, in addition to a clinical fellowship in PET/CT at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. Soares holds a subspecialty certificate in Neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology (ABR).
From July 2013 to July 2016, Dr. Soares was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neuroradiology at Emory University in Atlanta. From August 2016 to November 2018, he worked at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology. From December 2018 to May 2023, Dr. Soares worked at the University of Vermont Medical Center as Associate Professor of Radiology, Division Chief of Neuroradiology, Vice-Chair of Imaging Research, and Co-Director of the MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging.
Dr. Soares has published more than 85 peer-reviewed articles and has been the recipient of the Research Fellow Grant from the Society for Pediatric Radiology and of the Rad_Britestar Award from the Johns Hopkins Department of Radiology. The recognition for his teaching includes the 2013 Outstanding Clinical Fellow / Instructor Teaching Award from the UCSF Department of Radiology, the 2017 Teacher of Year Award from the Johns Hopkins Division of Pediatric Radiology, and the 2017 ASNR International Outreach Professor Program in Ghana.
Dr. Soares currently serves as an Editorial Board Member of Neuroradiology and of the Journal of Neuroimaging, and has served as an Editorial Board Member of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and of the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR). Dr. Soares served for six years as a member of the ABR Neuroradiology Core Exam Committee, receiving ABR Volunteer Service Awards in 2022 and 2024.
His research has focused on neonatal and pediatric brain imaging. He is currently focused on developing semi-automated algorithms to quantify normal and abnormal brain development, and applying deep learning algorithms for detection of subtle cerebral abnormalities in children with epilepsy. -
Raymond A. Sobel, M.D.
Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune-mediated injury in CNS tissues that are affected in multiple sclerosis (MS). We study: 1) tissues of mice with EAE using histology and immunohistochemistry, 2) cross-recognition of neurons by antibodies against myelin proteolipid protein epitopes, and a distinct oligodendrogliopathy induced in mice by the non-protein amino acid azetidine (Aze), (which is found in the human diet); Aze-induced abnormalities mimic those in MS patient CNS tissues

Olatunde Sobomehin
Adjunct Lecturer, GSE Faculty Affairs
BioOlatunde Sobomehin is the 2025 Distinguished Practitioner in Residence at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. As a student at Stanford from 1998 to 2003, he held leadership positions in Alpha Phi Alpha, Nu Sigma Chapter, the NAACP, and STeP Up (Students using Technology to Empower People for United Progress), a student group he founded. He also led a public speaking course in the School of Engineering and competed on Stanford’s Top-25 Men’s Basketball team, where he was voted Most Inspirational Player (2003). Since graduating, he has taught courses through the Stanford Haas Center for Public Service and the Stanford d.school, where he also co-authored the book Creative Hustle with sam seidel.
In 2014, Olatunde co-founded StreetCode Academy, an East Palo Alto–based nonprofit that offers free technology education to communities of color. Under his leadership, StreetCode has become a national model for community-based innovation, serving more than 3,000 students annually and delivering over 50,000 hours of free instruction. His body of work has earned him recognition as a 2018 Aspen Institute Scholar, a 2019 Praxis Fellow, and a 2020 Social Entrepreneurship Fellow at Stanford University.
Most recently, he has delivered academic presentations at two international conferences: the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) Conference in Finland and the ACM Global Computing Education Conference in Botswana, where he shared hands-on strategies for advancing the social and societal impacts of computing. He frequently speaks on community-centered innovation, equity in technology education, and creative leadership, and has served as a guest lecturer in courses across engineering, education, and design.
Olatunde and his wife, Tamara, reside in East Palo Alto, CA, and are the blessed parents of four children: Olatayo and Temilola, students at Stanford University; Tatiola, a freshman at USC; and Olataiye, an eighth grader.
