Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Bio Dr. Nguyen is board certified in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. He holds a clinical teaching appointment at the Stanford School of Medicine.
Dr. Nguyen's expertise include all aspects of general gastroenterology and hepatology, but he has a particular interest in new imaging techniques in colon cancer screening, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Dr. Nguyen is also performing fecal microbiota transplantation (stool transplants) for patients who suffer from chronic, relapsing Clostridium difficile infection and has had over 90% cure rate.
In his free time, he enjoys traveling, golfing, skiing, hiking, healthy cooking and spending time with his family. He enjoys the personal rapport that he is able to establish with his patients and appreciate the opportunity to help them as best that he can. -
Viet Nguyen, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Bio Dr. Viet Nguyen's clinical practice consists of: [1] Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring (IONM): Dr. Nguyen was fellowship-trained at Stanford in Clinical Neurophysiology, with an emphasis in IONM, after which he was hired as faculty to help run Stanford's IONM service. The service uses somatosensory and motor evoked potentials (SSEP, MEP), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) in over 1200 cases per year at SHC and LPCH, to help minimize risk in procedures that endanger the nervous system. These include surgeries and endovascular procedures for cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid stenosis, brain and spinal tumors, spinal deformities (e.g. scoliosis, spinal stenosis), peripheral nerve injury and tumors, aortic aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia, facial dystonia, and others. He has published, presented research, and lectured at national and international meetings on IONM topics, and is active in multiple professional organizations in the field, including the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, Society of Clinical Neurologists, and American Academy of Neurology. [2] The Stanford Spasticity Clinic: Dr. Nguyen runs the Stanford Spasticity Clinic, treating patients with multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, or dystonia (cervical, facial, and limb) using EMG-guided botulinum toxin injections, medications, and physical/occupational therapy. [3] The Stanford Center for Concussion and TBI: Dr. Nguyen treats patients with concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), both non-sports and sports related, including varsity and professional athletes. He works to educate patients, families, and the public on properly recognizing and recovering from traumatic brain injuries.

Mark Nicolls
Stanford University Professor in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our lab focuses primarily on the contribution of the immune response to lung disease. We are specifically examining the contribution of inflammation to the development of vascular injury in transplantation, pulmonary hypertension and lymphedema.

Teresa Nicolson
Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our aim is to understand the molecular basis of hearing and balance. We use zebrafish as our model system, which offers distinct advantages for imaging auditory/vestibular and lateral line hair cells in intact animals. Our experiments focus on the function of deafness genes isolated from forward genetic screens and developmental aspects of sensory hair-cell activity and synaptogenesis.

Koen Nieman
Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and of Radiology (CV Imaging) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Dr Nieman investigates advanced cardiac imaging techniques. Current projects focus on the development of functional CT application for hemodynamic interpretation of coronary artery disease, and the clinical validation of cardiac CT in the management of patients with ischemic heart disease.

Jeff Nirschl
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio Jeff Nirschl, M.D., Ph.D. is a resident physician at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in the Department of Pathology. He completed his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dr. Erika Holzbaur. During his thesis research, he investigated axonal transport and genetic forms of parkinsonism. He also developed computational image analysis workflows for fluorescence microscopy and digital pathology. His research interests include molecular motors and the neuronal cytoskeleton, the regulation of axonal transport in neurodegeneration, digital pathology, and quantitative image analysis using machine learning.

Seiji Nishino
Professor (Research) of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The research focus of the Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology (SCN) Laboratory is the study of the sleep and circadian physiology using various animal models. A portion of the research is carried out using rodent models of narcolepsy and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The laboratory also carries out pharmacological studies aiming to develop new treatments for these sleep disorders.

Ryan Nitta
Sr Res Scientist-Basic Life, Neurosurgery
Current Role at Stanford The main project of the Li lab is to elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for maintaining and initiating brain tumor growth. Previously the Li lab has identified an interesting protein, known as casein kinase 2, which plays an integral role in adult brain tumor growth. My goal is to expand on this initial finding and determine if casein kinase 2 could be a therapeutically relevant drug target in adult brain tumors and whether this protein plays a role in pediatric brain tumors. The role of the candidate would be the lead researcher on these projects, as well as managing and leading the undergraduate and medical students in the lab. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining the laboratory and assisting in grant writing.
