Edward Rene DesMaisons
Academic Staff - Hourly - CSL, Medicine
BioA graduate of Stanford Business and Harvard Divinity schools, Ted DesMaisons trained to teach mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn and others at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and has studied, taught and performed improvisation internationally, including with BATS Improv in San Francisco, CA. He is one of an elite group of registered trainers who have worked with renowned UK acting and voice coach, Patsy Rodenburg.
Currently, he teaches Playful Mindfulness and personal and vocal presence through Stanford University’s Continuing Studies program. He co-hosts the Monster Baby Podcast (“a curious romp through the worlds of mindfulness and improvisation”) which reaches listeners in more than 60 countries, and his first book, Playful Mindfulness: a joyful journey to everyday confidence, calm, and connection, has received praise for its insight, originality, relevance and humor.

Timothy Joseph Devine
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioTimothy Devine is a board-certified cardiologist at Stanford Health Care and a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. In 2024, he joined the Stanford family from San Bernardino County Kaiser, where he practiced since 2011. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, he relocated to California in 2001 to complete his Naval Residency in San Diego and later his General Cardiology Fellowship at Scripps Clinic with an associate fellowship in Integrative Medicine. At Kaiser, he was instrumental in creating several innovative projects: Cardiology Hospitalist Program dedicated to resident teaching, “Doc of the Day” - a team-based digital platform that proactively manages urgent outpatient cardiac issues, and a Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound program. He is passionate about medical education, specifically teaching the art of medicine. For research, he hopes to explore ways to improve the healthcare delivery system to efficiently move people from patienthood to health. Personally, you may catch him exploring the Bay Area by bike, boat, or BART as he is eager to meet others for recreational or service opportunities to improve the health of our community.

Gundeep Dhillon, MD, MPH
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests1. Use of an administrative database (UNOS) to study lung transplant outcomes.
2. Expression of the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) 1 antibody in peripheral blood after lung transplantation and its association with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (chronic rejection).
3. Impact of airway hypoxia, due to lack of bronchial circulation, on long-term lung transplant outcomes.
4. CMV specific T-cell immunity in lung transplant recipients and its impact on acute rejection. -
James C. Dickerson, MD MS
Instructor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Dickerson is a medical oncologist in the Division of Medical Oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine, specializing in treating patients with breast cancer. His research studies how health policy can improve health equity and eliminate cancer disparities. To achieve this goal, his research group pursues three key objectives: (1) developing financially sustainable breast cancer care programs, (2) analyzing large databases to identify health policies that can improve equity, and (3) conducting clinical research to discover the most effective ways to deliver high-quality care.
Dr. Dickerson's research has a domestic and an international arm. His global oncology research leverages long-standing collaborations in Nigeria and Belize. Both arms focus on the same objectives of achieving financially sustainable and equitable cancer care.
Dr. Dickerson received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Stanford University, followed by fellowship training in Hematology/Oncology at Stanford. During his fellowship, Dr. Dickerson earned a Master's in Health Policy and did post-doctoral research in the Department of Health Policy.
