Dr Michael Stuart
Clinical Instructor, Neurosurgery
BioDr Stuart is an Australian trained adult and pediatric neurosurgeon working as a Clinical Instructor in Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery under Professor Gary Steinberg.
Dr Stuart completed medical school in Australia at James Cook University, followed by an Australian neurosurgical residency across multiple centres in the Binational Australian neurosurgical training program. Following residency he completed a fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at the Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Prior to Stanford he worked as an attending neurosurgeon at the Queensland Children's Hospital and Townsville University Hospital. -
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.

Jie Sun
Affiliate, Neurosurgery
Visiting Scholar,BioJie Sun, MD, PhD, is a clinician–scientist whose work centers on pain as a brain-based and systemic condition, integrating neuroscience, sleep biology, and large-scale human data. Her research addresses how internal states shape sensory processing, brain network dynamics, and downstream clinical and behavioral outcomes.
She leads multiple large, deeply phenotyped clinical and population-based research programs, including the pain biobank and a national student cohort. These platforms integrate multimodal data spanning neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG/MEG), polysomnography, biospecimens, behavioral assessments, and longitudinal follow-up, providing a real-world testbed for computational modeling and mechanism-driven discovery.
Her work further explores sleep–brain interactions, neuromodulation and brain–computer interface approaches, and the application of artificial intelligence in clinical neuroscience. By bridging scalable human cohorts with advanced analytics, her research aims to enable robust biomarkers, predictive models, and clinically deployable AI systems. She actively collaborates with researchers in neuroscience, psychiatry, engineering, and data science.
