Blake K. Scanlon, Ph.D.
Clinical Assistant Professor (Affiliated) [Vapahcs], Psych/Public Mental Health & Population Sciences
Bio The overarching aim of Dr. Scanlon?s research is to develop and evaluate low-cost, pragmatic and clinically translatable methods for improving management of neurodegenerative disease and dementia. To that end, the Caregiver Technology Division of the Scanlon Lab aims to enhance patient- and family-centered care through novel, broadly customizable, and highly scalable caregiver interventions. In parallel, the Neurodegenerative Division of the Scanlon Lab focuses on the development and application of cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and biological markers for the initiation and progression of neurodegeneration.
Dr. Scanlon received his bachelor?s degree in Neuroscience and doctorate in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of Miami. After concluding his clinical internship in Geropsychology/Neuropsychology at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS), he completed fellowships in Aging and Dementia at Stanford University School of Medicine and VAPAHCS. Dr. Scanlon is currently a VA Career Development Awardee in the Sierra-Pacific Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) and Stanford/VA Aging Clinical Research Center where his work focuses on developing and evaluating low-cost, pragmatic and clinically translatable methods for improving management of neurodegenerative disease and dementia.

Kristen Hymel
Casual - Non-Exempt, Anesthesia
Bio Kristen H. Scherrer is a postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab (SNAPL) under the mentorship of Dr. Sean Mackey. She completed her PhD in Experimental Psychology at the University of Mississippi in Dr. Kenneth Sufka?s laboratory, where her research focused on developing and utilizing translational models to examine neuropsychiatric disorders.
During her postdoctoral training at the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the University of Florida in Dr. Jay McLaughlin?s laboratory, she broadened her research interests to include pain and substance abuse.
Currently, her primary research interest is using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine pain mechanisms, including the specific brain regions that contribute to the affective component of pain, and to develop innovative approaches to treat chronic pain patients. In addition, Kristen is an affiliate of the Brain Stimulation Lab (BSL) in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences under the mentorship of Dr. Nolan Williams. -
Christine Schirmer
Administrative Director, Teaching and Mentoring Academy, SoM - Teaching and Mentoring Academy
Bio Christine Schirmer, Ed.D., is the Administrative Director of the Stanford Medicine Teaching and Mentoring Academy. In this role she collaborates with the faculty co-directors to oversee all aspects of the Academy's programming, which promotes excellence in teaching and mentoring through grant programs, teaching and mentoring skills training, peer coaching and mentoring programs, and appointments and promotions support.

Logan Schneider
Staff, Psych/Public Mental Health & Population Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly Interests From a research perspective, my long-term career plan is to refine the understanding of normal and dysfunctional sleep, much like the Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) and Epi4K are doing for the enigmatic epilepsies. Insufficient sleep has been deemed a public health problem with poorly understood behavioral and physiologic sleep disorders lying at the core of the issue. I am currently using well-defined distinct and objective phenotypes (e.g. periodic limb movements, hypocretin-deficient narcolepsy) to acquire the analytic skills necessary to expand my knowledge of both signal processing and genetics, with the former enhancing my ability to identify and/or refine sleep phenotypes, and the latter facilitating the pathophysiological understanding of these phenotypes. As a consequence of a better link between symptoms/phenotypes, physiology, and genetic risks, more personally targeted and effective therapeutics can be developed to address the enriched spectrum of sleep disorders.
