David Ansel
Clinical Associate Professor, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
BioI graduated from UCLA (now Geffen) School of Medicine, did my pediatrics residency at Columbia-Presbyterian in NYC, followed by a clinical fellowship in developmental (what was then called an “ambulatory”) pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital. The first 28 years of my career were spent in clinical practice combining both DBP and primary care (the latter focused on serving CSHCN). During those years I was involved in numerous divide-bridging efforts - including programs to coordinate inpatient & outpatient medicine, connect tertiary & primary care, and promote teamwork between pediatricians, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and other community partners. I founded my own solo practice in 1989 and managed its growth to an 8-provider group over the next 25 years. Our practice was a founding member of the PPOC and I served on its board of directors for 6 years. The PPOC is one of the largest pediatric IPA’s in the country, with >200 member providers affiliated with Boston Children's Hospital. Over the years we were involved in groundbreaking QI initiatives including those involving asthma, weight, and ADHD management; medical home; and behavioral health integration with primary care.
I’m now well into my career's “second act” on the clinician-educator track here at Stanford. I'm proud to have piloted our division's primary care initiative (DBPCI) and am now in the process of planning for a second phase thereof, hoping to make improved collaboration between DBP and primary care more available to more patients. I also pioneered the use of telehealth in our division, and then helped guide its sudden widespread adoption by my peers during the COVID-19 crises. Looking forward, I expect what we have learned during the pandemic will inform what we do for DBPCI 2.0. -
Yair Bannett
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Bannett leads the Advanced Informatics for Pediatric Mental Health lab. The lab uses data-driven methods to develop reliable quality measures for management of children with developmental and mental health conditions in community-based primary care. Current studies integrate large language model analysis of clinical text to accurately assess quality of care, with the ultimate goal of improving health care delivery and outcomes for children with developmental and mental health conditions.

Heidi M. Feldman
Ballinger-Swindells Endowed Professor of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research program focuses on infants born preterm, before 32 weeks gestation from two language environments: English and Spanish. The study considers how neurobiological factors, specifically properties of the white matter circuits in the brain, interact with social, psychological, and economic factors to predict language processing efficiency at 18 months of age.

Hyoryung Ann Lee
Affiliate, Peds/Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
BioHyoryung Ann Lee, M.D., is a board-certified developmental and behavioral pediatrician at the Center for Developing Minds, where she brings her extensive expertise to address the complex needs of children and adolescents with developmental and behavioral challenges. Dr. Lee provides comprehensive care that integrates medical, psychological, and educational strategies to support the well-being of her patients and their families.
Dr. Lee completed her fellowship in developmental and behavioral pediatrics at New York University, where she managed a high volume of complex cases and honed her skills in interdisciplinary care. Her tenure at NYU Langone Health and Bellevue Hospital was marked by her deep commitment to advocating for equitable healthcare services and serving diverse patient populations, including those facing family turmoil, immigration barriers, poverty, and trauma.
Dr. Lee’s educational journey is characterized by a global perspective, as she holds a B.S. from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and pursued her medical degree via the St. George's University KBT Scholars Program at locations across England, Grenada, Canada, and the United States. Her training in Grenada instilled in her the importance of compassion and efficacy in medicine. She is a board-certified pediatrician, completing her pediatric residency at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, an academic affiliate of Mount Sinai, with specialized training in developmental and behavioral pediatrics at NYU Langone.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Lee teaches and supervises Stanford Pediatric Residents, contributing to the next generation of pediatricians through mentorship and training in Developmental and Behavioral pediatrics.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Dr. Lee is an accomplished musician, proficient in playing the flute, piano, and singing. Her passion for music and her dedication to using her performances to support charitable causes reflect her deep commitment to enriching the lives of those around her. -
Mahalakshmi Ramamurthy
Basic Life Research Scientist, Peds/Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Jason Yeatman. With a background in vision science, psychophysics and developmental cognitive neuroscience my long-term goal is to study the intersection of basic visual mechanisms and various neurodevelopmental disorders and to extend this understanding in creating effective early screening tools, and in advancing evidence-based therapeutic and remediation programs. Inherent to this interest is the need for developmental data in large and demographically diverse populations. I strongly believe that such inclusive research not only contributes to scientific advancements but can go beyond to bridge health and education disparities.

Jason Yeatman
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics), of Education and of Psychology
BioDr. Jason Yeatman is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Department of Psychology at Stanford University and the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Yeatman completed his PhD in Psychology at Stanford where he studied the neurobiology of literacy and developed new brain imaging methods for studying the relationship between brain plasticity and learning. After finishing his PhD, he took a faculty position at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences before returning to Stanford.
As the director of the Brain Development and Education Lab, the overarching goal of his research is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the process of learning to read, how these mechanisms differ in children with dyslexia, and to design literacy intervention programs that are effective across the wide spectrum of learning differences. His lab employs a collection of structural and functional neuroimaging measurements to study how a child’s experience with reading instruction shapes the development of brain circuits that are specialized for this unique cognitive function.
