Peter Poullos
Clinical Professor, Radiology
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & HepatologyBioDr. Poullos is a native of Stockton California. He earned his B.S. at Santa Clara University and M.D. degree at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, after which he did an Internal Medicine residency at the University of California-San Francisco, finishing in 2002. He stayed at UCSF as a Gastroenterology fellow until 2004. However, after a spinal cord injury, he decided to retrain in Radiology. He did his Radiology residency at Stanford University, where he also completed a fellowship In Body Imaging in 2009. Dr. Poullos is now a faculty member in both the departments of Radiology and Gastroenterology and Hepatology. His clinical practice is at Stanford Medicine, where he specializes in CT, MRI, and ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis. His interests include radiology of the acute abdomen, hepatobiliary imaging, and colorectal cancer screening.
Dr. Poullos is the Founder and Co-Chair of the Stanford Medicine Alliance for Disability Inclusion and Equity (SMADIE), a group composed of people with disabilities and their allies at Stanford Medicine. In that role, Dr. Poullos advocates for students and healthcare providers with disabilities and for health equity for disabled patients. He is a Faculty Advisor to the Stanford Medical Students with Disability and Chronic Illness (MSDCI) and the MSDCI National organizations. Dr. Poullos and SMADIE have made significant contributions to the disability community, including starting the Stanford Conference on Disability in Healthcare and Medicine, now in its seventh year, which draws over 1,900 participants from 54 countries. He is the Co-Host of the popular “DocsWithDisabilities” podcast, has spoken internationally on disability access in medicine, and has written and conducted research in the field. One of his proudest achievements is co-creating the Disability in Medicine Mutual Mentorship Program, which serves the needs of disabled medical and healthcare students and practitioners. In 2022, Dr. Poullos received the Stanford President’s Award for Excellence through Diversity. -

Rosita Primavera
Basic Life Research Scientist, Rad/Pediatric Radiology
BioDr. Rosita Primavera is a Basic Life Research Scientist at Stanford University in the Department of Radiology/Pediatric Radiology. With an MD in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnologies, she brings a robust educational background to her research endeavors. Dr. Primavera has extensive experience in developing nano- and micro-drug delivery systems (DDS) as well as 3D platforms aimed at treating various diseases.
Her training includes a variety of techniques for creating drug delivery systems and 3D platforms, utilizing both synthetic and natural materials, and employing methods such as top-down and bottom-up fabrication. Over the past few years, Dr. Primavera's research interests have increasingly focused on diabetes. She has received extensive training in handling and processing pancreatic islets from multiple sources, including mice, rats, and humans, equipping her with the expertise needed to conduct both in vitro and in vivo experiments involving diabetic animal models. Dr. Primavera is focused on developing an on-command system that mimics pancreatic islet function. Her current research further investigates the role of 3D bioscaffolds in pancreatic islet transplantation, along with the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells in diabetes treatment. She is particularly interested in innovative cellular approaches, such as co-transplantation of islets alone, within cutting-edge bioscaffolds, or in conjunction with stem cells. Through her work, Dr. Primavera aims to enhance therapeutic strategies for diabetes and improve patient outcomes. -

Mona Ranade
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
BioMona Ranade, MD is a radiologist specializing in Vascular & Interventional Radiology and is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology at Stanford University. She is a board-certified interventional radiologist with a clinical and academic focus on venous thromboembolism (DVT and PE), peripheral arterial disease, superficial venous disease, and women’s interventional health.
She completed her residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (2012–2016) and a fellowship in Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York (2016–2017). She began her career in academic medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System, where she practiced from 2017 to 2020, followed by five years on faculty at UCLA Health (2020–2025) prior to joining Stanford.
Dr. Ranade is recognized as a thought leader in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, with extensive experience in managing complex venous disease. She has participated in several clinical trials in this space and currently serves as the national principal investigator for the APEX-AV IDE trial evaluating the AngioDynamics AlphaVac device. Her scholarly work includes multiple peer-reviewed and non–peer-reviewed publications that have advanced clinical understanding and techniques in venous intervention.
In addition to her venous expertise, Dr. Ranade has a strong clinical focus on arterial disease, including the treatment of claudication and critical limb ischemia. She is also highly experienced in the treatment of superficial vein disease, offering comprehensive, minimally invasive options to improve both clinical outcomes and quality of life for her patients.
Dr. Ranade has a deep commitment to improving care for women through minimally invasive therapies, with special research and clinical interests in DVT, PE, and arterial disease in women, as well as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome. Her work seeks to address the unique presentations and treatment needs of female patients across a range of vascular and interventional conditions.
A proponent of patient-centered innovation, Dr. Ranade has championed procedural advancements such as radial artery access to improve safety, comfort, and recovery. Her approach integrates evidence-based care with a focus on individualized treatment.
Dr. Ranade’s clinical leadership, research contributions, and advocacy for women’s health continue to influence the evolving landscape of interventional radiology. -
