Mariame D. Diabate, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
BioMariame Diabate, PhD (she/her) is a postdoctoral scholar in the HIPE Lab (Healthcare Innovation, Policy and Equity), mentored by Dr. Alyce S. Adams in the Stanford Cancer Institute and the Departments of Health Policy/Epidemiology and Population Health, and Pediatrics (by courtesy) and Dr. Tainayah Thomas in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health. A two-time Buckeye, she earned her PhD in Biomedical Sciences and BS in Biology with a minor in Global Public Health from The Ohio State University. Dr. Diabate uses bioinformatics to study breast and ovarian cancer variants, intending to reduce cancer treatment disparities for minority women.
Through her postdoctoral training, she aims to address the genetic, social, and policy drivers of persistent health disparities. Dr. Diabate is currently focused on integrating community perspectives into observational research to improve population health outcomes and influence health policy. Additionally, she applies AI technology to support better treatment decisions, working alongside interdisciplinary teams to close the gap between cancer research and marginalized communities, while advocating for equitable healthcare.
Previously, she served as the youngest state-level commissioner on Ohio’s New African Immigrant Commission and interned with UNAIDS in Geneva, Switzerland. Currently, Dr. Diabate is one of the co-presidents for Stanford’s Black Postdoctoral Association. Her passion for improving minority women's health continues to drive her research and advocacy. -

Ramzi Emanuel Dudum
Masters Student in Health Policy, admitted Autumn 2022
BioDr. Dudum is a cardiologist and population health expert working to develop novel risk prediction methods and implementation strategies to create practices and systems that allow for reductions in cardiovascular disease. He completed a Masters in Public Health at Johns Hopkins concentrating in epidemiology and biostatistics and a Doctorate of Medicine at George Washington University.
He completed internal medicine residency training as part of the Osler Medical Service, where he worked under the mentorship of Drs. Roger Blumenthal and Michael Blaha to study improving cardiovascular risk prediction and coronary artery calcium. Given his focus on population health and implementation science, he also helped launch and refine risk adjustment tools and implemented guideline-directed medical care pathways. During his time there, he was recognized for his clinical acumen and dedication to patient care.
He came to Stanford for his cardiovascular medicine fellowship and continued research in coronary artery calcium under the mentorship of Drs. David Maron and Fatima Rodriguez while also conducting cardiovascular health implementation science work under the mentorship of Dr. Steve Asch. He serves as the co-investigator of a prospective randomized trial testing the effects of notification of incidental coronary artery calcium on statin initiation rates among those with and without cardiovascular disease (NCT 05588895). He has worked with hospital leaders to implement digital health and artificial intelligence tools, creating the infrastructure for the prospective use of AI-algorithms on radiology studies. As a preventive cardiologist and population health expert, he leads efforts in the preventive cardiology section related to improving cardiovascular health.
