Sriram Sudarsanam
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioSriram is broadly interested in how cellular interactions shape neurodevelopment. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Science, and Masters at the Weizmann Institute. His doctoral research in Alex Kolodkin’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins addressed the development of idiosyncratic axonal arborization patterns of cortical neurons. He developed genetic strategies to visualize and perturb sparse populations of neurons in the mouse brain, using which he identified novel molecular and cellular determinants of spatially-restricted axon branching in vivo.
Now, as a postdoctoral scholar in Brad Zuchero's laboratory, Sriram is working to develop novel genetic tools to observe and perturb neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions in vivo. In collaboration with Ivan Soltesz’s laboratory, he aims to employ these tools to understand how myelination regulates neural circuit assembly and function. -
Thomas Sudhof
Avram Goldstein Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInformation transfer at synapses mediates information processing in brain, and is impaired in many brain diseases. Thomas Südhof is interested in how synapses are formed, how presynaptic terminals release neurotransmitters at synapses, and how synapses become dysfunctional in diseases such as autism or Alzheimer's disease. To address these questions, Südhof's laboratory employs approaches ranging from biophysical studies to the electrophysiological and behavioral analyses of mutant mice.

Diana Suedbeck
Director for New Student Programs, Academic Advising Operations
BioDiana serves as the Assistant Director of New Student Programs in VPUE's Academic Advising. In her role, she is responsible for implementing the Approaching Stanford program, which provides support to first-year and transfer students as they transition to undergraduate life at Stanford. Being one of the first points of contact for these incoming students, Diana is focused on making sure they feel well-equipped to begin their academic experience at the university. Working alongside her New Student Programs team, Diana also supports the implementation of New Student Orientation for incoming students each fall.
Prior to Stanford, Diana worked in the non-profit sector after receiving a Sociology degree from Bethel University, a small liberal arts college in St. Paul, Minnesota. Outside of her organizational development work, Diana's passion for higher education grew as she coached women's lacrosse for Bethel's club team. -
Brian Suffoletto
Professor of Emergency Medicine (Adult Clinical/Academic)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Suffoletto is an emergency physician and NIH-funded investigator with a focus on collecting novel forms of longitudinal and remote data to inform temporal risk prediction and inform just-in-time adaptive interventions

Jo-Anne Landry Suffoletto, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Suffoletto is a primary care doctor at Stanford Internal Medicine Clinic. She is board certified in internal medicine.
For each patient, Dr. Suffoletto prepares a care plan. Her goal is to help every individual achieve the best possible health and quality of life. Her care plans are customized, comprehensive, and compassionate.
Patients praise Dr. Suffoletto‘s clinical skills and warm bedside manner. They value her ability to listen closely and communicate clearly.
Her expertise and empathy are fundamental to her leadership as the medical director of the Stanford Coordinated Care (SCC) program. This program uses an interdisciplinary, team-based approach to enhance care for moderate- and high-risk patients throughout the Stanford Health Care system.
Dr. Suffoletto also helps educate the internal medicine providers of the future. She is a clinical associate professor of primary care and population health in the Stanford Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care.
To advance the field of internal medicine, she has published virtual patient cases, medical education curricula, and has given regional and national presentations on women’s health topics and medical education with a focus on simulation training.
Prior to joining Stanford, she held positions as associate chief of staff for education and innovative learning and medical director of simulation education in the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and chief of staff at Butler VA Healthcare System in Pennsylvania. -
Takeshi Sugio
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oncology
BioI am a physician-scientist and hematologist focused on clinical translation of T-cell biology. I received my MD from Kyushu University, and subsequently completed Residency Training at Toranomon Hospital, the largest transplant center in Japan. I continued my Hematology training at Kyushu University, where I qualified as a Board-certified specialist (2017) and supervisory hematologist (2021) by the Japanese Society of Hematology. For my PhD (2014-19), I studied expression profiles and histologic features of TCLs. I discovered distinct TCL clinical groups identified by infiltrating immune cell patterns in the microenvironment. Based on my dissertation work (Sugio, et al 2018 Blood Advances), I planned and conducted a Phase II trial of PD1 inhibition for relapsed/refractory TCL (UMIN000034499). I joined the Alizadeh lab at Stanford in 2021, where I am developing tools to analyze immune status using liquid biopsies.
