Jason M Tucciarone
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Psychiatry
Bio Jason received his bachelors degree in biology and philosophy from Union College. He spent three years as a Post-Baccalaureate IRTA fellow at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke investigating and developing MRI reportable contrast agents to map neuronal connectivity. Following this he entered the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD) at SUNY Stony Brook University. There he completed a doctoral dissertation in neuroscience under the mentorship Dr. Josh Huang at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His thesis work employed mouse genetic dissections of excitatory and inhibitory cortical circuits with a focus on the circuitry of chandelier inhibitory interneurons in prefrontal cortex. He is currently a resident physician in Stanford Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences? research residency track. His research interests include uncovering circuit mechanisms of psychiatric disorders with hopeful applications to novel therapeutics.

Audrey Rose Verde
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio Audrey Verde, MD, PhD (she/her/hers) is a PGY4 radiology resident. She received her undergraduate degrees from North Carolina State University in Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Psychology. She then obtained her MD-PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in Neurobiology. For her Neurobiology PhD Dr. Verde was housed in a computer science laboratory, and assisted in developing a pipeline of tools to analyze diffusion weighted images, which she then used to perform DTI and quantitative tractography to investigate the episodic memory circuitry in cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Dr. Verde continued at UNC Chapel Hill for an Internal Medicine intern year before joining the Stanford Radiology department for residency. During residency Dr. Verde has been involved in many projects spanning mentorship, diversity, advocacy, and informatics both within the Radiology Department, and within the Graduate Medical Education office. Dr. Verde was one of the founding members of the Radiology Diversity Trainee Committee, as well as the GME Diversity Committee. Within the GME Diversity Committee Dr. Verde is the Mentorship Chair, and through that position founded, and leads the Navigating Medicine Mentorship Program that aims to provide medical students with near peer resident mentors across all specialties, with a specific focus to uplift those who are underrepresented in medicine. Dr. Verde is also a mentor through the GME Women in Medicine Leadership Council, the First Generation Mentorship Program, and Stanford Women Association of Physician Scientists. Additionally, starting in the 2020-2021 academic year, Dr. Audrey Verde is the Radiology Specialty Career Advisor for the Stanford School of Medicine. Within informatics Dr. Verde has been an integral part of the Radiology IT Operations team assisting in selection, configuration, and testing of Sectra PACS for Stanford, as well as leading IT initiatives for the department. Dr. Verde will continue at Stanford for Neuroradiology Fellowship 2020-2022.

Ophir Vermesh
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My interests lie at the interface of medicine and technology, engineering new wearable and implantable technologies for earlier cancer detection and continuous monitoring. I am particularly interested in moving promising diagnostic technologies past the proof-of-concept phase and into the clinic.

Lee White, Ph.D.
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio I am a fourth year clinical medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine. Here you will find out about my interests including a list of my publications and projects. I completed my doctoral research on training and evaluation of robotic surgical techniques with the Biorobotics Lab at the University of Washington in Spring 2013. I am a co-founder of C-SATS, Inc., a surgical performance assessment company that uses expert reviews and the wisdom of the crowd to train surgeons and medical practitioners.

Wenhui Zhou
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean Other
Bio Wenhui was born in Southeast China and then immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area as a teenager. He attended the University of California, Davis under a Regent Scholarship, and graduated with highest honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Wenhui subsequently pursued training in medicine and translational research in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Tufts University. In the Laboratory of Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser, Wenhui studied the regulation and function of transcription factors in triple-negative breast cancer with the goal of improving cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. Additionally, he pursued clinical research examining image-guided ablative therapy as a front-line treatment option for renal cancer under the mentorship of Dr. Ronald Arellano at Massachusetts General Hospital. Outside of his clinical and academic interests, Wenhui enjoys food, taking walks, listening to NPR, and spending time with family and friends.
