Kyan Younes, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Younes is a fellowship-trained, board-certified neurologist and a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
His areas of expertise include the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, Lewy body dementia, normal pressure hydrocephalus and cognitive and behavioral impairments. For each patient, Dr. Younes develops a personalized plan of care. A plan may include his close collaboration with experts from psychiatry, nursing, pharmacy, genetic counseling, and other specialties. His goal is to ensure that each patient receives care that is both comprehensive and compassionate.
To help lead advances and innovations in his field, Dr. Younes conducts extensive research. He is studying the clinical, neuropsychological, socioemotional, genetic, and pathological features when a patient experiences degeneration of the right anterior temporal lobe area of the brain. This disorder can affect a person’s ability to process emotions and person-specific knowledge.
He also is researching how multimodal brain imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) combined with machine learning can help improve the detection of neurodegenerative diseases. In other research, he has participated in clinical trials of new drug therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Younes has presented research findings at meetings of the American Neurological Association, American Academy of Neurology, and American Psychiatric Association. Topics have included predictors of cognitive performance in dementia.
He has co-authored research articles published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Journal of Neuroimaging, and elsewhere. Subjects of these articles have included guidelines for diagnosing the effects of right anterior temporal lobe degeneration on behavior, treatment for symptoms of encephalitis, and the impact of mild traumatic brain injury on healthy older adults.
Dr. Younes has written chapters on frontotemporal dementia for Psychiatric Clinics as well as the epilepsy, coma, acute ischemic stroke, meningitis and encephalitis chapters for the textbook The Little Black Book of Neurology.
He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association, Alzheimer’s Association, and International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias. -

Isabella Young
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioIsabella “Bella” Young is a Clinical Psychology doctoral student in the PAU–Stanford Consortium, expected to graduate in 2030. She holds dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Criminology, with minors in Sociology and Political Science, from the University of Utah, and earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University.
Bella is committed to integrating empirical research with evidence-based treatment, believing this combination creates the most effective approaches to care. She is a proud alumna of the Perinatal Research on Intergenerational Solutions for Equity (RISE) Laboratory, where she contributed to the Nurse-Family Partnership and Mozambique studies, examining how social inequities become biologically embedded across generations through DNA methylation. She also partnered with Manhattan-based organizations advancing Birthing Justice.
Currently, she continues her work in Columbia’s Maternal & Reproductive Psych Laboratory, where she helped launch a Reproductive Identity study and served as first author on a reproductive identity narrative.
Her research interests focus on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, reproductive identity, and severe personality pathology in mothers (e.g., borderline personality disorder, postpartum psychosis). Ultimately, Bella aspires to become a clinical psychologist dedicated to bridging research and clinical practice to better support individuals during the perinatal period. -
John Young
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioJohn Young is a lecturer in Civic, Liberal and Global Education (COLLEGE). John completed his Bachelor's at Dartmouth College before earning his M.S. and PhD in Political Science at Stanford University.
John’s research focuses on the built environment, and brings together scholarship from political theory, geography, economics, and psychology. Three big questions orient his work. How does the built environment affect the people who live in and move through it? How do laws, economics, and technology produce the built environment we have? Finally, do people have normative and political entitlements to physical space, and if so, what are they and how can they be secured in public space, private space, and with land-use policy?
John also works in the construction trades, building, repairing, and upgrading residential structures. He specializes in sustainable building and energy efficiency. John finds it deeply rewarding to help people enjoy their home and get more practical use from it, putting theory and practice together to create built environments conducive to human flourishing. -
