Molly Tanenbaum
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Endocrinology, Gerontology, & Metabolism
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), Pediatrics - EndocrinologyBioDr. Tanenbaum is a clinical psychologist and clinical researcher committed to improving health and quality of life outcomes for people with diabetes. Dr. Tanenbaum’s research focuses on two main areas: 1) understanding and optimizing the role of technology (e.g. mobile technology/mHealth, diabetes devices, automated insulin delivery), and the feedback technology provides, to improve diabetes management; and 2) understanding the emotional experience of living with diabetes. Her recent work focused on developing a telehealth-based behavioral intervention for adults with type 1 diabetes to support adoption and sustained use of continuous glucose monitoring technology. She has expertise in using qualitative and mixed methods to take a human centered approach to understanding the context of living with and managing a chronic condition. Dr. Tanenbaum also has an interest in compassion-based approaches to addressing diabetes distress. As a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Tanenbaum provides consultation and behavioral medicine interventions with people living with diabetes.

Bio(Alex) Alexandra Ward is a Clinical Research Coordinator in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She works on a broad portfolio of clinical research studies focused on improving health outcomes for children and adolescents through patient-centered, technology-enabled, and equity-focused approaches. In her role, she coordinates industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated studies, oversees participant recruitment and study operations, manages regulatory compliance, and contributes to qualitative and quantitative data analysis, scientific writing, and dissemination of research findings.
Alexandra earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a focus on Pre-Medical Studies from the University of California, Berkeley. Her academic and research interests center on epidemiology, population health, and the social and structural factors that influence health across the lifespan. She is particularly interested in health equity, social determinants of health, implementation science, digital health technologies, aging, and the use of artificial intelligence to improve healthcare delivery and reduce disparities among underserved populations.
Her research experience spans pediatric endocrinology, chronic disease management, epidemiology, mixed-methods research, patient-reported outcomes, and community-engaged research. She has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations and has collaborated on studies examining diabetes technology, healthcare access, quality of life, and interventions designed to improve health outcomes for diverse patient populations.
Alexandra plans to pursue a PhD in Epidemiology, where she hopes to develop innovative, data-driven approaches to address complex public health challenges and advance equitable healthcare through interdisciplinary research. -
