Tyler Johnson
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Tyler Johnson--a clinical associate professor of medicine and oncology at Stanford University Medical School--is a physician, author, educator, and humanitarian. A medical oncologist, Dr. Johnson sees patients with all types of gastrointestinal malignancies and particularly focuses on patients with neuroendocrine tumors, colon cancer, and pancreas cancer.
Dr. Johnson served for many years as a leader of the Stanford Hospital in-patient oncology services and helped launch the hospital's first direct care inpatient service, med 12. He is also responsible for helping respond to the surge of patients that came with the pandemic and its aftermath.
Dr. Johnson views the practice of medicine largely as an educational endeavor. He directs the Stanford University Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program and spends significant time teaching trainees at levels. To that end, for many years he has taught medical students, residents, and fellows—including hosting them as temporary and longer-term apprentices in his oncology clinic and working with them on the inpatient housestaff oncology service. He emphasizes diversity and inclusion in his mentoring efforts and has worked to promote the professional development of medical trainees across the training spectrum--from undergraduates to oncology fellows.
The winner of multiple Stanford Medicine teaching awards, Dr. Johnson has established himself as a regional and increasingly as a national leader and innovator in the education of oncology fellows, including by developing novel teaching methods that have been presented across the country, including at national meetings. He also works as one of the principal faculty members of the Stanford Educators-4-CARE program.
Dr. Johnson and his co-host, Henry Bair, became concerned about the loss of a shared sense of meaning in the medical profession and, together, have taught multiple classes in the Medical School and, in the spring of 2022, founded The Doctor's Art podcast. Since then, the podcast has become one of the most listened to medical podcasts in the world and has won multiple national awards, making it one of the most lauded and most popular medical podcasts.
Finally, Dr. Johnson is an author with a growing reputation for insightful analysis of the intersection of medicine, ethics, and spirituality. His writings has been featured by Religion News Service, the Salt Lake Tribune, BYU Studies, Dialogue, and The San Jose Mercury News, where he is a regular contributor. He serves on the editorial boards of both BYU Studies and Wayfare and has written extensively on modernity loss of faith and meaning and the role of spirituality in constructing a purposeful and fulfilling life. -

Siddhartha Joshi, PhD
Senior Research Scientist, Neurosurgery
BioI am a neuroscientist with over 20 years of experience in empirical, hypothesis-driven research. My knowledge and expertise cover a wide range of topics and methods within systems neuroscience including sensory perception, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, eye-movements and pupillometry. My research is focused on how the brain represents and uses sensory information to drive goal-directed behaviors and in exploring how intrinsic neuromodulatory systems influence the neural circuits that drive such behaviors. At Stanford, I am looking to channel my experience towards studying human neural signals that underlie computations governing pain and attention.
My work thus far [1-4] supports the idea that there is a need for simultaneous measurements of behavior, brain state and large-scale cortical activity to understand how the brain’s circuits: (i) are modulated by ascending sympathetic activation and (ii) provide top-down control of descending sympathetic control. These are technically challenging experiments [3,4] that have thus far largely been explored in animal models. My current goal is to leverage opportunities to directly measure human brain activity via electrodes implanted for monitoring epilepsy. Towards this end, I will use state-of-the-art neurophysiological, behavioral, pupillometric techniques combined with quantitative analyses.

Israel Juarez Contreras
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Rajat Rohatgi at Stanford University, where I study how membrane organization controls sterol accessibility and signaling. I earned my Ph.D. at UC San Diego with Itay Budin, where I uncovered how sterol structure and sphingolipid composition regulate membrane phase behavior in yeast and reconstituted systems. My current work translates these biophysical principles into disease-relevant contexts, with a focus on lysosomal lipid organization and sterol trafficking defects, including those associated with NPC1. Ultimately, I aim to establish an independent research program that defines how cells interpret membrane physical properties and how their dysregulation contributes to human disease.
