Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, the public hospital serving the uninsured in Chicago. She began her career in global health as an Infectious Diseases fellow at Stanford, validating low-cost HIV diagnostics in Burkina Faso, and providing clinical service and teaching in India and Zimbabwe as a fellow, and later in Thailand, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia as one of our Infectious Diseases faculty. Her clinical work is focused on caring for our Veteran population, working to empower Veterans to engage in their care, often in the setting of significant mental illness.
Dr. Renault is most passionate about medical education and program development to combat global antimicrobial resistance through antimicrobial stewardship, to create opportunities for the Internal Medicine residents centering on caring for vulnerable patient populations, and to develop impactful and sustainable programs in collaboration with our low- and middle-income partners for our Center for Innovation in Global Health. She served as Associate Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program for 4 years prior to transitioning to her current role as Program Lead for Global Health, for which she leads the Global Health Track for the Internal Medicine residency program and develops global health initiatives for the Department of Medicine. She co-founded and has been director of the Stanford 2-week intensive global health course since its inception in 2012, she has structured trainee and faculty rotations based on evolving needs of our partner sites in Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, she is the faculty lead for the ID/antimicrobial stewardship partnership between Stanford and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya through the AMPATH Consortium, and she is leading Stanford's Internal Medicine virtual case-based education initiative to support our newest medical school partner in Negele Arsi, Ethiopia.
Dr. Renault strives to augment Stanford's contributions and support for underserved patient populations in the United States. She established resident rotations in Shiprock, New Mexico and Chinle, Arizona through the Indian Health Service, and she is Faculty Advisor for the Internal Medicine Health Equity, Advocacy and Research concentration in the residency program. She also aspires to improve resources for women physicians. In 2016, Dr. Renault established the GME Women in Medicine Leadership Council, with the intention of creating community and encouraging conversations about professional and personal life decisions as women in the field of medicine. She is passionate about mentoring through sharing personal experiences, creating an environment that encourages reflection, and building skills to address challenges unique to women in medicine.
In 2022, in recognition of her passion for medical education and her success in program development, Dr. Renault was asked to join the leadership at Palo Alto Veterans Health Care System as Deputy Designated Education Officer in the Office of Education. In this role, she works with rotation directors to optimize their respective rotations to offer robust educational opportunities for trainees across specialties who are rotating at the Palo Alto VA. -

Samantha Reyes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioResearch Interests: Preclinical and clinical PET imaging, novel tracer validation in vivo, neuroinflammation, proteomics, theranostics and pharmacokinetic modeling
Samantha is an NIH T32 SMIS Postdoctoral Scholar who completed her PhD in Biomedical Physics in Dr. Michelle James' laboratory at Stanford, where her doctoral work focused on the development and translational validation of novel PET radiotracers for non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammation. She led the preclinical development and validation of two GPR84-targeted PET radiotracers for imaging innate immune activation in a murine model of multiple sclerosis, and also led the clinical data analysis for the first whole-body TSPO-PET/MRI study in female patients with ME/CFS. She is well-versed in preclinical and clinical PET quantitation, pharmacokinetic modeling, autoradiography, and cell-based assays. Her postdoctoral research applies her molecular imaging expertise to gynecological cancers, with a focus on using proteomics-driven biomarker discovery and novel theranostic radioligands to characterize the tumor microenvironment and improve response to therapy in women's cancer.
