Bethel Roba Mieso
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Peds/Clinical InformaticsBioDr. Mieso is a pediatrics-trained fellow in the Stanford University Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program, where she focuses on advancing child health equity and physician wellness. Her career has been marked by a commitment to addressing health disparities and advocating for systemic improvements in patient care and medical workforce conditions. She has held various leadership roles and played a crucial part in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
In her current fellowship, Dr. Mieso is leveraging her DEI expertise in clinical informatics, aiming to develop digital tools that enhance patient outcomes and experience. Her goal is to merge her informatics skills and advocacy experience to drive innovations that improve healthcare delivery, promote a more equitable and efficient system, and streamline electronic health record (EHR) systems to reduce provider burnout. Dr. Mieso holds a BS in Biology from San Jose State University, an MD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and completed her pediatrics residency at Stanford. -
Carlos Milla
Professor of Pediatrics (Pulmonary Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAt Stanford University I developed and currently direct the CF Translational Research Center. The overarching goal of the center is to provide the groundwork to streamline, accelerate, and promote the translation of basic discoveries into effective therapies and interventions to benefit patients affected by cystic fibrosis. My laboratory group currently has three main lines of investigation: respiratory cell biology in CF; remote biochemical monitoring; and lung physiology in young children.
