Jacinda Sampson
Clinical Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Jacinda Sampson received her MD and a PhD in biochemistry from University of Alabama at Birmingham, and completed her neurology residency and neurogenetics fellowship at the University of Utah. She served at Columbia University Medical Center prior to joining Stanford University Medical Center in 2015. Her areas of interest include myotonic dystrophies, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and neurogenetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis, hereditary spastic paraparesis, spinocerebellar ataxia, among others. She is interested in clinical trials for treatment of neurogenetic disorders, and in the clinical application of next-generation genomic sequencing to genetic testing.

Niyatee Samudra, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Adult Neurology
BioDr. Samudra is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is one of a small number of neurologists nationwide who is board-certified and fellowship-trained in epilepsy as well as in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry.
Dr. Samudra leads a clinic at Stanford for the treatment of older adults with epilepsy. In addition, she has clinical interests in the treatment of atypical Parkinsonism and in women’s brain health across the lifespan. She co-leads the CurePSP Center of Care and is a member of the Menopause Collaborative of Practice at Stanford. Her varied research interests include clinical trials in neurodegenerative disease and in epilepsy; improving treatment for older adults with epilepsy; understanding the cognitive and neuropsychiatric consequences of epilepsy; and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms in neurodegenerative disorders.
Prior to coming to Stanford, Dr. Samudra was a fellow in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, as well as in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She completed her undergraduate degree at MIT and obtained her medical degree and neurology residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
Dr. Samudra has published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease; Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports; Journal of the Neurological Sciences; Seizure; and Epilepsy and Behavior, among others. She is a member of the American Epilepsy Society and the American Academy of Neurology. -

Ansuman Satpathy, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab works at the interface of immunology, cancer biology, and genomics to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of the immune response to cancer. In particular, we are leveraging high-throughput genomic technologies to understand the dynamics of the tumor-specific T cell response to cancer antigens and immunotherapies (checkpoint blockade, CAR-T cells, and others). We are also interested in understanding the impact of immuno-editing on the heterogeneity and clonal evolution of cancer.

David Schneider
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study innate immunity and microbial pathogenesis. We have been studying models for a variety of bacterial infections including: Listeria, Mycobacteria, Salmonella and Streptococcus as well as some fungi, malaria and viruses. Our current focus is to determine how we recover from infections.

Mark J. Schnitzer
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences and Professor of Biology, of Applied Physics and of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of our research is to advance experimental paradigms for understanding normal cognitive and disease processes at the level of neural circuits, with emphasis on learning and memory processes. To advance these paradigms, we invent optical brain imaging techniques, several of which have been widely adopted. Our neuroscience studies combine these imaging innovations with behavioral, electrophysiological, optogenetic and computational methods, enabling a holistic approach to brain science.
