Natally Celaya-Martinez
Affiliate, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioMy name is Natally Celaya-Martinez, and I am from the Skagit Valley area in Washington State. I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle with a B.S. in Biology (Physiology), where I learned a lot about navigating new spaces and learning a lot of wholesome lessons along the way ~
My interest in healthcare was shaped by watching my family navigate care through language barriers and moments of misunderstanding, revealing how easily patients can be left unheard. But growing up in a small community, I came to see how crucial it is to reduce healthcare disparities, which strengthened my commitment to serve underrepresented populations.
I am honored to be part of the Stanford Healthcare team and look forward to learning from peers and physicians who are committed to patient centered care. I hope to carry these experiences forward in my journey to medicine and give back to future generations! -

Alma-Martina Cepika
Assistant Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCepika Lab studies human immune tolerance. Using cellular immunology, genomics, and gene engineering, we aim to understand: 1) the role of human thymic regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inducible type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells in resistance to anti-tumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy, and 2) the interplay between innate and adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our overarching goal is to leverage our discoveries for improving patient outcomes.

Jonas Cerneckis
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute working at the intersection of cardiovascular biology, neuroscience, and regenerative medicine. My research focuses on developing and applying new approach methodologies (NAMs), including human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived models, organoids, and computational approaches, to investigate disease mechanisms and identify opportunities for therapeutic development. I completed my PhD at the Irell & Manella Graduate School of Biological Sciences at City of Hope, where I studied Alzheimer’s disease using human stem cell-based models and machine learning.

TAMER ÇETIN
Affiliate, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioTamer Çetin is a Research Professor at Stanford whose work focuses on applied econometrics, causal inference, and machine learning. His research develops robust methods for statistically reliable empirical analysis in high-dimensional and complex-data settings, with contributions spanning weak identification, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, debiased machine learning, and causal estimation.
At Stanford, he connects modern statistical learning methods with classical questions in identification, inference, and policy evaluation. His research seeks to improve the credibility of empirical conclusions when researchers face complex data, competing identification strategies, imperfect instruments, or model uncertainty.
Before joining Stanford, Dr. Çetin held research and teaching positions across academia, consulting, and industry. He has taught courses in economics, econometrics, and data science. His broader research interests include causal inference, health economics, and the use of machine learning in empirical research. -
Hsien-Hwa Alice Cha
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Hsien-Hwa Alice Cha is a Clinical Assistant Professor of the Division of Hospital Medicine in the School of Medicine. A Bay Area native, she received her undergraduate degree from University of California, Berkeley with Honors in Molecular Cell Biology - Biochemistry. She completed her medical education at New York Medical College and her Internal Medicine Residency at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara in 2016. She joined the Division of Hospital Medicine at Stanford Health-Care in Tri-Valley in 2016 as a hospitalist. She led the Tri-Valley Section as Section Chief from 2020-2023, during which she expanded the section’s clinical capabilities to include orthopedic pre-op care, and dedicated nocturnal care with nocturnists. Her interest in medical education led her to co-found Stanford Health-Care Tri-Valley’s Clinical Academy in 2019, a program designed for high school juniors and seniors interested in exploring medicine as a career. She was the recipient of the Department of Medicine’s Teaching Award for the Tri-Valley Division in 2022. Her other interests include clinical implications of metals, opioid stewardship, bioethics, undergraduate medical education, and physician leadership development.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her two young children, cooking toddler meals, and watching crime dramas. -
