Daphne O. Martschenko
Assistant Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics)
BioDr. Daphne Oluwaseun Martschenko is an Assistant Professor at the Laurie J. Girand Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford. Her scholarship identifies novel ways to examine and enhance the ethical and socially responsible conduct, translation, and interpretation of human genetic research.
Dr. Martschenko is passionate about fostering public and community engagement with controversial scientific research. She has appeared in the New York Times and on numerous podcasts including Freakonomics Radio. Dr. Martschenko’s work is published in publicly accessible media outlets such as Scientific American and The Conversation. In 2023, she was named one of 10 Scientists to Watch by ScienceNews.
Dr. Martschenko is author of the book What We Inherit: How New Technologies and Old Myths Are Shaping Our Genomic Future, which she wrote with friend and colleague Sam Trejo, a sociologist at Princeton University. Over the past decade, the field of human genetics has rapidly produced a wide range of never-before-seen genomic tools; together, they debate and discuss a range of social, ethical, and policy issues raised by this so-called DNA revolution. Though there’s plenty the two disagree about, they share a firm belief that—in order to successfully navigate the transition to a society where genetic prediction is increasingly accurate and available—it is vital that society take seriously the impact both of DNA and of pernicious genetic myths. -

Devin Malloy McCauley
Postdoctoral Scholar, Adolescent Medicine
BioDevin McCauley earned his PhD in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University in 2021, where his research applied intensive longitudinal methods and time-varying effect modeling to investigate family, school, and peer influences on adolescent mental health and well-being. A second focus of his research applies a developmental framework in study of adolescent e-cigarette use. He is particularly interested in identifying sociodemographic (e.g., race/ethnicity, sexual identity) disparities in risk factors for e-cigarette use. His long-term goal is to inform, develop, and evaluate family and school-based prevention programs which support healthy adolescent development and address health disparities related to e-cigarette use.

Mark McGovern
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health and Population Sciences) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
BioDr. Mark McGovern is a Professor and the Associate Chair of Translation and Implementation Research in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and, by courtesy, the Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Most people who need health care do not receive it. And of those who do, wide variation exists in access to care and the quality of the care they receive in health care systems, both private and public. Dr. McGovern is a leader in using rigorous methods of implementation science to close these gaps in health care delivery.
His mission is to get the best health care possible to the people who need it the most.
Dr. McGovern's primary focus is the implementation and sustainment of evidence-based interventions and guideline adherent care in public and private health care systems and organizations. Within the hub of the Stanford Center for Dissemination and Implementation (CDI) which he directs, Dr. McGovern is the Principal Investigator (PI) and leads three national implementation research and practice centers: The Center for Dissemination and Implementation At Stanford (C-DIAS); The Research Adoption Support Center (RASC); and, the Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network Coordinating Center (MHTTC). The 3 centers are federally-funded, respectively by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (P50DA05402), the National Institutes of Health Healing Addiction Long Term (HEAL) initiative (U2CDA057717), and the US Department of Health and Human Services Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration (H79SM081726). Dr. McGovern is also the PI on a multi-site adaptive implementation trial across a state system of care, which aims to integrate addiction medications for persons with opioid use disorder who are receiving services in specialty or primary care organizations (R01DA052975). In addition, he addresses implementation challenges in federally-qualified health centers (FQHCs) across the State of California, in the Stanford Division of Primary Care and Population Health, and in specialty addiction and mental health treatment organizations nationwide. He leads, facilitates and/or actively engages networks advancing implementation science in health, including the NIDA Clinical Trials Network Translation & Implementation Special Interest Group, the NIDA Clinical Trials Western States Node Translation & Implementation Workgroup, the Stanford University Network for Dissemination & Implementation Research (SUNDIR), the VA Palo Alto HSR&D Center for Innovation to Implementation, and the Stanford Medicine Center for Improvement. He is on the Core Faculty of the National Institute of Mental Health Implementation Research Institute at the Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. McGovern is a collaborator on multiple projects as a co-investigator, consultant, or advisory board member. He is a mentor to numerous individuals across the country and at Stanford, from university undergraduates to mid-career faculty and clinical administrators at academic institutions and health care systems nationwide. -

Peter Meaney
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Critical Care
Affiliate, Pediatrics - Peds/Critical CareCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Meaney focuses on improving how clinically serious interventions are adopted, implemented, and scaled in real-world care environments. His work spans clinical workflow, behavior change, and performance systems, with emphasis on why clinically valid approaches fail to translate into sustained use. He develops and deploys implementation models that align product, workflow, and stakeholder incentives to enable adoption across complex health systems.

Rishi Mediratta
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have developed a new promising neonatal mortality prediction score at the University of Gondar Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Gondar, Ethiopia. The score predicts approximately 84% of neonatal deaths in the NICU using clinical variables. I have a dataset over 800 NICU admissions in Gondar. I am recruiting scholars who are interested in conducting clinical and epidemiological research to validate, refine, and implement the mortality score to reduce neonatal mortality in Ethiopia.
