Jacob Hall
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Bio Dr. Hall graduated summa cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Behavior and received his MD from the Keck School of Medicine of USC. He completed an internal medicine internship at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. He went on to train in neurology at Stanford University where he also completed a clinical fellowship in behavioral neurology.
Dr. Hall’s clinical expertise includes mild cognitive impairment, dementia with Lewy bodies, Alzheimer’s disease, primary progressive aphasia, posterior cortical atrophy, frontotemporal dementia and vascular cognitive impairment.
Dr. Hall’s non-clinical time is spent studying novel imaging techniques for neurodegenerative disorders, participating in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials and working with the Stanford Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. -
Casey H. Halpern, MD
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests We are currently investigating the effects of deep brain stimulation in obesity using mouse models of human behavior. Many obese individuals exhibit behavioral disinhibition, a clinical feature of many neurologic and psychiatric conditions. We are dissecting the mesocorticolimbic circuit with novel techniques including optogenetics.

Melanie G Hayden Gephart
Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Bio I am a brain tumor neurosurgeon, treating patients with malignant and benign tumors, including glioma, brain metastases, meningioma, vestibular schwannoma, and pituitary adenomas. Our lab seeks greater understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving tumorigenesis and disease progression in malignant brain tumors. We currently study the capacity of cellular and cell-free nucleic acids to inform cancer biology and response to therapy. We also use single cell and cell subtype-specific transcriptomics to identify and target infiltrating glioblastoma. We use these techniques to identify mechanisms of tumor migration, and to stop tumor growth. Our laboratory is a unique and collaborative working environment, engaged in a dynamic research environment at Stanford. Our laboratory space lies at the heart of the Stanford campus between the core campus and the medical facilities, emblematic of the translational aspects of our work.

Zihuai He
Assistant Professor (Research) of Neurology and of Medicine (BMIR)
Bio Dr. He received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 2016. Following a postdoctoral training in biostatistics at Columbia University, he joined Stanford University as an assistant professor of neurology and of medicine in 2018. His research is concentrated in the area of statistical genetics and integrative analysis of omics data, attempting to develop new statistical methodologies that aid with the identification and interpretation of complex biological pathways involved in human diseases, particularly neurological disorders. His methodology interest includes high-dimensional data analysis, correlated (longitudinal, familial) data analysis and machine learning algorithms.
