Arend Sidow
Professor of Pathology and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have a highly collaborative research program in the evolutionary genomics of cancer. We apply well-established principles of phylogenetics to cancer evolution on the basis of whole genome sequencing and functional genomics data of multiple tumor samples from the same patient. Introductions to our work and the concepts we apply are best found in the Newburger et al paper in Genome Research and the Sidow and Spies review in TIGS.

Allison Tamara Siebern
Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
BioDr. Allison Siebern, PhD, DAc, LAc, CBSM is a sleep medicine psychologist and neuroscience-based doctor of acupuncture specializing in sleep, mood, and neurological health. She is board certified in Behavioral Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Siebern is a pioneer in the field of integrative sleep health as she blends her training and expertise in neuroscience-based acupuncture, cognitive behavioral medicine, psychophysiology, near-infrared transcranial photobiomodulation and clinical neuroscience. Dr. Siebern's current integrative health research is on the intersection of scalp acupuncture and near-infrared transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) as neuromodulatory mechanisms to assist in improved symptom outcomes in neurodegenerative disorders and post-stroke recovery.
Dr. Siebern is currently a Sleep Medicine Psychologist and Behavioral Sleep Medicine Fellowship Track Director with the Durham VA Medical Center and the Director of Integrative Sleep Wake Health, PLLC. Dr. Siebern is an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine in the Sleep Medicine Division where she completed the sleep fellowship from 2008 to 2010 and stayed on as full-time faculty until 2015 where she served as Associate Director and Co-Fellowship Training Director and then Director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program. She has been treating patients of all ages in the field of sleep medicine for 15 years. She consults with companies on sleep and neurological health science, is published in peer-reviewed journals, has given talks at national conferences, and has been interviewed with many media outlets. Dr. Siebern has a passion for the field of sleep health and believes in the importance of training future generations of sleep providers. -
Dawn H. Siegel, MD
Clinical Professor, Dermatology
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), PediatricsCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm dedicated to connecting patients with clinical research trials and contributing to research on specific skin conditions particularly hemangiomas, birthmarks, and PHACE syndrome. My research also aims to develop solutions to health disparities through improved access to pediatric dermatologists and treatments.

Nicholas Siemons
Research Engineer, Precourt Institute for Energy
BioNicholas began his academic career by studying integrated Masters at University College, London. During this time he published his first article, "Multiple exciton generation in nanostructures for advanced photovoltaic cells" - a review of how to produce photovoltaics with greater than 100% internal efficiencies. Following this Nicholas began research into solar voltaics and organic batteries in the group of Prof. Jenny Nelson at Imperial College, London. During this time Nicholas developed his keen interest in how to relate the chemical design of polymers to their ability to function as battery electrode materials. To achieve this goal, Nicholas applies atomistic simulation methods to such polymer systems, and relates the simulated findings to experimental results, bridging the gap between chemistry and device properties. As well as linking molecular chemical design to device performance, Nicholas applies novel simulation and analysis methodologies to study these systems, including Molecular Dynamics, Density Functional Theory, Molecular Metadynamics and Network Analysis.

Pilleriin Sikka
Basic Life Research Scientist, Multispecialty Anesthesiology
BioDr. Pilleriin Sikka is a Research Scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine, in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. She is also affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. Prior to joining her current role, she completed postdoctoral training in the Heifets Lab in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine and in the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory, directed by Dr. James J. Gross.
Dr. Sikka received her PhD in Psychology from the University of Turku (Finland), MSc degree in Neuroscience from the University of Oxford (UK), and BSc as well as MSc degrees in Psychology (with specializations in Clinical Psychology and Organizational Psychology) from Tallinn University (Estonia). She has received several prestigious research and teaching awards and secured competitive grants (e.g., Tiny Blue Dot Foundation, Mind Science Foundation) as both principal and co-investigator. With more than a decade of teaching experience, Pilleriin has designed and taught courses in psychology and neuroscience and has mentored numerous undergraduate and master’s students, and is currently supervising several PhD students. In parallel with her research at Stanford, she is also affiliated with the University of Skövde (Sweden) as a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience and with the University of Turku (Finland) as a Researcher.
Dr. Sikka's research integrates psychology, neuroscience, and anesthesiology to understand how experiences—particularly those arising during altered states of consciousness (i.e., sleep and dreaming, anesthesia, psychedelic states)—produce lasting psychological change and how these mechanisms can be translated into innovative, evidence-based interventions for mental health, well-being, and perioperative care.
