Jenli Dawn Waters, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Waters is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with the Neurosurgery Program at Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Waters specializes in treating a wide range of spinal conditions. These treatments include surgery to relieve numbness or pain related to pressure on the spinal cord and procedures to repair or stabilize the spinal column (spine fusion). Her areas of expertise also include diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury and brain and spinal cancers.
Dr. Waters’ research experience includes helping to develop effective strategies for diagnosing
and treating patients with different neurological cancers, including glioblastomas. As a subspecialty medical expert for spine and neurosurgery, she successfully advocated for insurance coverage of state-of-the-art, minimally invasive approaches to treating epilepsy and brain tumors.
Dr. Waters has published her work in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Neurosurgery and the Journal of Neuro-Oncology. She has also authored and co-authored chapters in numerous books describing neurosurgical techniques and the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological conditions, including brain and spinal cord tumors.

Ronald D. Watkins
Senior Research Engineer, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordMy current position is Senior Research Associate in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory and the Molecular Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Radiology at Stanford School of Medicine. I provide hardware, systems, and general technical support for a large group of Faculty members and many students and post docs in the development of advanced medical imaging, metabolic imaging and image-guided interventions. My training background is primarily in RF and electrical engineering. I have spent more than 25 years in the commercial diagnostic imaging industry. Most of the projects I am currently working on involve instrumentation for metabolic imaging using magnetic deuterium imaging. I am also involved in the development of Hybrid systems that combine Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance imaging. Other projects I am involved in use focused ultrasound for neuro-stimulation or drug delivery via blood brain barrier. I also provide RF coil design and support for small animal imaging and various research studies. I have ongoing collaborations with many other medical research institutes and Universities around the world. I currently have 45 issued US patents, and 100 pear reviewed publications.
