Filza Hussain MD, FACLP
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Medical Psychiatry
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), Surgery - Abdominal TransplantationBioDr. Hussain completed her medical education in Karachi, Pakistan, at the Aga Khan University in 2005 and travelled to the US to pursue her interest in Psychiatry. During residency at the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota she was awarded the Mayo clinic M.J Martin award for excellence in CL psychiatry. It was at Mayo that she solidified her interest and identity as a Consultation Liaison Psychiatrist. Eliminating Mind body dualism while educating others and addressing stigma against psychiatry seemed like an effortless choice and so she pursued a CL fellowship at Columbia University in New York.
Visa obligations took her first to the UK where she utilized her experience in evaluating CL service performance in large teaching hospitals in the NHS. She subsequently moved back to the US to serve as the sole outpatient provider for eleven different counties in Northwest Wisconsin with a panel of over 1500 patients at a Mayo clinic satellite. During this time, she was an active board member of NAMI, taught psychopathology in Crisis Intervention Training for the Eau Claire, and Chippewa Police departments and avidly contributed to international health blogs and newspaper articles with an aim to decrease stigma against psychiatry
In Pursuit of a stimulating academic environment and a return to her true passion, CL psychiatry, she joined Stanford as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine in 2017. As member of the Education Committee and as of 2022, the CLP Fellowship Associate Program Director, She has been active in helping to restructure the fellowship education experience, initiating several new seminars including the immersion series, the book seminar, and organizing the Chief of service rounds. Her clinical focus is transplant psychiatry, and she serves as the liaison to the Liver and Kidney transplant programs at Stanford. She continues to be engaged with the community and currently participates in the Liver Education and Awareness Program(LEAP) , an endeavor educating patients about Fatty Liver disease. Other areas of clinical/research interests include Personality disorders, Suicidology, Cultural Psychiatry and medical pedagogy. She is also working with Dr. Maldonado in developing the SIPAT-D, a tool for evaluation of live organ donors. -

Natasha Hussain
Affiliate, Initiative in Brain Resilience
BioAs Associate Director of the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Stanford University, Natasha Hussain plays a pivotal role in guiding the strategic direction of the initiative. In this capacity, she is responsible for conceptualizing and implementing transformative initiatives, overseeing program operations, and fostering a collaborative environment that integrates community engagement with cutting-edge research. Natasha's leadership encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities aimed at advancing the initiative's mission of supporting human brain function, health, and longevity. Her commitment to excellence and strategic innovation contributes to the initiative's position at the forefront of neuroscientific research and community impact.
Natasha received a B.Sc. from McGill University in Montreal, QC, Canada where she completed a double major in biology and environmental science. Natasha continued in her doctoral training at McGill University’s Montreal Neurological Institute at where she earned a Ph.D. in Neurology and Neurosurgery. Natasha's expertise in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology has contributed to significant discoveries in neuroscience, focusing on presynaptic endocytic recycling, Rho GTPases-mediated signal transduction, and the functional characterization of proteins linked to Down’s syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology.
During her postdoctoral training at MIT in the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Cambridge, MA, USA, Natasha delved into molecular components of synaptic plasticity. Her research also explored the cell biology and physiology of a family of protein kinases genetically associated with psychiatric disorders, unraveling their roles in synapse development and function.
Prior to her role at the Knight Initiative, Natasha served as the Scientific Director of the Johns Hopkins Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute, fostering transdisciplinary research collaboration among neuroscientists, engineers, and data scientists.
