Blake Thomson
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Health Services & Policy Research, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioBlake Thomson is a health disparities researcher and medical student at Stanford. An epidemiologist by training, he holds an MPhil in Epidemiology from the University of Cambridge and a DPhil (PhD) in Population Health from the University of Oxford. He has held several posts focused on health equity science, including most recently as Principal Scientist in Cancer Disparities Research at the American Cancer Society.
Blake has authored or co-authored more than 30 articles in medical and public health journals, including The Lancet and JAMA. His first-author publications have appeared in such journals as The Lancet Global Health, JAMA Internal Medicine, JAMA Oncology, JAMA Neurology, Chest, and Circulation, among others. This work has received media attention from such outlets as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Nature, and National Geographic. His clinical and academic interests are focused on the prevention and control of common and debilitating diseases, particularly among those historically underrepresented in medical research. -
Theanne Thomson
Director, Students and Alumni Strategic Initiatives, Student and Alumni Strategic Initiatives (SASI)
BioTheanne oversees the Stanford Alumni Association's Students and Alumni Strategic Initiatives (SASI) team, which strengthens affiliation between students, alumni and Stanford through student programs, professional communities, and volunteer engagement. SASI connects students to Stanford TREEditions, the alumni community, SAA leadership opportunities and resources that students can access now into alumnihood. Our team represents volunteerism across the University, and, in collaboration with campus partners, promotes and recognizes the volunteer contributions of students and alumni.

Alan Eih Chih Thong
Clinical Associate Professor, Urology
BioDr. Thong is a surgeon specializing in urologic oncology. He has expertise in all aspects of prostate, kidney, bladder, and testicular cancer care, including endoscopic, robotic, and open surgery, and has a special interest in complex cases including: salvage surgery following radiation or chemotherapy, resection of locally advanced tumors, minimal access robotic surgery, and MRI-US fusion targeted biopsies. Dr. Thong is the first surgeon in northern California to utilize single port robotic assisted laparoscopic technology for both pelvic and retroperitoneal surgeries. He has won numerous awards including the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award, and has authored and co-authored publications on the treatment of urologic cancers.

Stefan Thottunkal
Other Tech - Graduate, Med/Quantitative Sciences Unit
Graduate Student Employee, Medicine - Primary Care and Population HealthBioStefan Thottunkal is a physician in training, Stanford researcher, and policymaker whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, precision medicine, translational science, and public health innovation. He completed the M.S. in Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford University as an IIE Quad Fellow, one of the world’s most selective international research fellowships, where his thesis centered on computational pharmacogenomics and the use of data-driven LLM methods to advance precision prescribing.
His research focuses on translating innovation into clinically meaningful and implementation-ready health solutions, with particular interests in pharmacogenomics, chronic disease, and AI-enabled decision support. He is especially interested in how machine learning and large language models can be used not simply as technical advances, but as robust clinical tools that improve prescribing, strengthen care delivery, and incorporate human centered design principles to effectively integrate precision medicine in routine clinical practice.
At Stanford, he contributes to the Han Lab’s research on advancing precision oncology in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, while helping lead NOURISH, a pioneering Stanford Medicine initiative reimagining cardiometabolic care through culturally tailored nutrition science, behavioral insight, and digital innovation. NOURISH advances a model of lifestyle medicine that preserves cultural relevance while applying rigorous scientific methods to improve metabolic health. By integrating culinary medicine with emerging technologies, the initiative is exploring how AI-enabled tools, personalized digital education, and interactive nutrition support systems can make evidence-based dietary guidance more adaptive, engaging, and scalable across diverse populations. His work in this space reflects a broader interest in how technology can help transform nutrition care from generic advice into a more personalized, culturally tailored, and behaviorally attuned form of preventive medicine.
In parallel with his research career, Stefan brings close to half a decade of experience advising the Australian Federal Government on major health and social policy initiatives. His international experience also includes mentoring hackathon teams in India and medical device development in Nigeria, where he contributed to dialysis device innovation and clinical trials design in resource-constrained settings. Together, these experiences reflect his broader commitment to advancing equitable, evidence-based, and culturally tailored global health innovation. -
Alex Threlkeld
Mathematics, Statistics & Computational Sciences Librarian, Science Library
BioI select print and electronic materials and manage Stanford's subscriptions in my subject areas, I am the liaison between Stanford University Libraries and the Mathematics and Statistics Departments, and I teach Carpentries (and Carpentries-style) workshops on Python, R, and LaTeX. I received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Rice University, with research in knot and link concordance, satellite constructions, and 4-dimensional manifolds, particularly in the topological setting. Before coming to Stanford, I also worked as the Mathematics Collection Development assistant at Rice's Fondren Library.
