Michelle L. James
Associate Professor of Radiology (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford) and of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Neurology Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe primary aim of my lab is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases by developing translational molecular imaging agents for visualizing neuroimmune interactions underlying conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke.

Lindsay Elise Jamieson
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioLindsay Jamieson is a doctoral-level trainee whose work focuses on neuropsychological assessment and cognitive functioning across development. She contributes to research in the BRUNO Lab at Stanford, assisting with studies examining cognition, aging trajectories, and sex-related differences in Down syndrome.
Her broader interests include neurodevelopmental conditions, brain injury, and how biological and environmental factors shape cognitive outcomes. Lindsay also brings prior experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities through adaptive riding and equine-assisted programs. She aims to build a career centered on thoughtful, evidence-based assessment and collaborative clinical care. -
Mathangi Janakiraman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study how the gut ecosystem, gut function, and neuroimmune interactions change during aging and in diseases like Alzheimer’s. I investigate how dietary interventions, including fermented foods and ketones, modulate gut cells and physiology. My goal is to reveal mechanisms through which diet supports healthy aging and to advance dietary strategies for age‑associated diseases.

Jlateh Vincent Jappah
Ph.D. Student in Health Policy, admitted Autumn 2021
Master of Arts Student in Economics, admitted Spring 2024BioJlateh Vincent Jappah is a PhD Candidate in Health Policy (Health Economics) at Stanford. His research interests intersect between methods that enhance access to the social determinants of health and the provision of appropriate and timely healthcare services, with the aim of reducing avoidable morbidity and mortality and improving overall health and well-being, especially for underserved and vulnerable populations.
Jappah contends that although health insurance and access to healthcare services are important elements in the health production function, other structural and socio-economic factors collude to either foster or erode health. As such, he has a keen interest in public policy, economics, medicine, global public health, maternal and child health, and a curiosity to understand those socio-political and institutional forces that shape health and well-being. He is also interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare.
In addition to the United States, Jappah has lived and worked in several countries in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
He is bi-lingual (English and Russian). -
Safwan Jaradeh, MD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical interests include autonomic disorders, small fiber neuropathies and the development of effective methods of testing and treating these disorders. Prior work has focused on small fiber painful and autonomic neuropathies; syndromes of orthostatic intolerance and syncope; gastrointestinal motility dysfunction; cyclic vomiting; protacted Gastroesophageal Reflux; non-allergic rhinitis syndromes; and the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and normal or abnormal sleep. Additional areas of interest include the neurology of phonation and swallowing disorders, and peripheral nerve injury and repair.

Ted Jardetzky
Professor of Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Jardetzky laboratory is studying the structures and mechanisms of macromolecular complexes important in viral pathogenesis, allergic hypersensitivities and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation, with an interest in uncovering novel conceptual approaches to intervening in disease processes. Ongoing research projects include studies of paramyxovirus and herpesvirus entry mechanisms, IgE-receptor structure and function and TGF-beta ligand signaling pathways.

Daniel Jarosz
Senior Associate Dean, Basic Science, Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology and of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory studies conformational switches in evolution, disease, and development. We focus on how molecular chaperones, proteins that help other biomolecules to fold, affect the phenotypic output of genetic variation. To do so we combine classical biochemistry and genetics with systems-level approaches. Ultimately we seek to understand how homeostatic mechanisms influence the acquisition of biological novelty and identify means of manipulating them for therapeutic and biosynthetic benefit.

Praveen Jayapal
Clinical Assistant Professor, Radiology - Pediatric Radiology
BioDr. Praveen Jayapal is a board-certified radiologist and Assistant Professor of Radiology at Stanford University, specializing in body imaging for both adult and pediatric patients, with a particular focus on MRI. His clinical expertise includes fetal imaging and pediatric musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging. Dr. Jayapal's primary practice is based at 450 Broadway Pavilion B in Redwood City, where he is dedicated to serving the underserved community through the Conrad 30 program. His academic interests center on developing fast MRI techniques to improve access to high-quality imaging, especially in resource-limited settings.

Stefanie S. Jeffrey, MD
John and Marva Warnock Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Jeffrey led the multidisciplinary team from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Genome Technology Center that invented the MagSweeper, an automated device that immunomagnetically captures live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patient blood for single cell analysis or culture. Her lab also works on microfluidic technologies for tumor cell capture, characterization, and growth - with the goal of defining individual patient response to newer biologically-based cancer therapies.

Michael Jeng
Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests focus on: 1) histiocytic disorders, such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and 2) vascular anomalies and malformations.

Susy Jeng
Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatric Neurology
Clinical Associate Professor, PediatricsBioDr. Susy Jeng is a Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at Stanford Children’s Hospital at Stanford University. Dr. Jeng received her A.B. at Harvard College and M.D. at the University of California, San Diego. She completed her pediatrics residency at University of California, San Francisco and is board-certified in pediatrics. After practicing general pediatrics for two years, she returned to UCSF for neurology residency. Upon completion of her residencies, she joined the faculty at Stanford as a general child neurologist with a special interest in medical education. She is the the Stanford Child Neurology Clerkship Director and Stanford Neurology Associate Clerkship Director for the medical students.

Erik Allen Jensen
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatal and Developmental Medicine)
BioBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common and severe complication of very preterm birth. Dr. Jensen’s research seeks to improve the long-term respiratory health of premature infants through: (1) clinical and translational studies that aim to develop evidence-based strategies to prevent and treat BPD; (2) novel characterization of disease severity and phenotypes in BPD; and (3) application of health services research techniques to investigate the association between hospital-level factors and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Dr. Jensen’s research is supported by grant funding from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and the American Lung Association (ALA). He is a member of the International BPD Collaborative and the International Neonatal Consortium (INC) BPD working group.
