Larissa Roux MD PhD
Adjunct Professor, Primary Care and Population Health
BioLarissa Roux is a sport medicine physician and health economist. She completed medical school at the University of Alberta, and followed this with residency training in family medicine and a fellowship in primary care sport medicine at the University of Calgary, as well as advanced training in lifestyle medicine. She combined her clinical training with a master’s in public health at Harvard, and a PhD in health economics at the University of Calgary. Her interest in public health and health policy resulted in a post-doctoral fellowship at the US Centers for Disease Control, in Atlanta in the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity. Although she has deeply enjoyed working with athletes and dancers, her main clinical interest has been in the optimization of human performance in patients with chronic conditions, including obesity, arthritis, and trauma. Her academic and health policy work has focused on the economic evaluation of competing therapies for obesity, and population-level physical activity promotion strategies in the US and around the world. Larissa's interest in data science and technology applications in global health contributed to an ongoing health information technology venture. She believes that innovative, tailored, multidisciplinary, and multimodal approaches to chronic disease have transformative potential in human health.

Mohana Roy, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Roy is a medical oncologist and a clinical assistant professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology. She has expertise in Lung and Thoracic cancers, but with a broad clinical interest in hematology and oncology.
Dr. Roy became an oncologist because of her passion for patient care. She is committed to being a clinician and is focused on improving the patient experience -- from the moment a patient checks in, to how information about their care is conveyed, and how the complex process of getting cancer care can be made a bit more seamless.
Her research interests include access to clinical trials, quality improvement and improving care delivery. In that effort, she has published on work regarding patient reported outcomes (PROs) and their use to help clinical quality efforts- including in the context of a clinical trial with an electronic PRO portal, through distress screening with the Stanford Medicine Cancer Center, and in improving access to such screening and care for patient with limited English proficiency. She is the recipient of both a clinical innovation award through Stanford and an American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Merit award.
She is the Associate Medical Director for Quality at Stanford Cancer Center from 2022.
Dr. Roy received her medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and then completed residency training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She then completed fellowship training in Hematology and Oncology at Stanford. She was chief fellow for her graduating year during fellowship as well. -

Daniel Rubin
Professor of Biomedical Data Science, of Radiology (Integrative Biomedical Imaging Informatics at Stanford), of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics Research) and, by courtesy, of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interest is imaging informatics--ways computers can work with images to leverage their rich information content and to help physicians use images to guide personalized care. Work in our lab thus lies at the intersection of biomedical informatics and imaging science.
