Crystal Mackall
Ernest and Amelia Gallo Family Professor and Professor of Pediatrics and of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsRecent clinical studies, by us and others, have demonstrated that genetically engineered T cells can eradicate cancers resistant to all other therapies. We are identifying new targets for these therapeutics, exploring pathways of resistance to current cell therapies and creating next generation platforms to overcome therapeutic resistance. We have discovered novel insights into the biology of human T cell exhaustion and developed approaches to prevent and reverse this phenomenon.

Nazanin Mahinparvar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioNazanin Mahinparvar, MD, graduated from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Before joining Stanford, she spent three years as a Physician Director at a rehabilitation and long-term care center for older adults. Caring for patients with pain, mobility limitations, and loss of independence shaped her belief that medicine is not only about treating disease, but also about helping people preserve function, independence, and quality of life.
She later joined the Dr. David Yeomans Lab, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine as a postdoctoral scholar, where her research has focused on developing novel, non-opioid approaches for chronic pain. Having personally experienced chronic pain during adolescence, she understands how deeply persistent pain can affect movement, daily function, and quality of life. Studying pain at Stanford transformed that personal understanding into a professional mission: not simply to reduce pain, but to help people regain function and return to meaningful, active lives.
Art and movement have deeply influenced the way she sees medicine. Through playing the piano, painting, dancing, ice skating, swimming, and exercise, she has developed a strong appreciation for the connection between movement, coordination, precision, creativity, and human performance. To her, restoring function is about more than restoring movement—it is about helping people return to the activities, passions, and forms of expression that are meaningful to them.
Leadership, education, and mentorship are also central to her academic work. As a Faculty Educator and instructor for the Stanford Microsurgery Fall Internship through the Stanford Anesthesia Summer Institute (SASI), she brings together medicine, art, and education by incorporating art-inspired exercises into microsurgical training to develop fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, precision, and dexterity. She is passionate about creating engaging learning experiences and inspiring the next generation of learners in medicine.
Together, her experiences in rehabilitation, pain medicine, education, movement, and art ultimately led her to Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), where these interests naturally come together. She is particularly interested in interventional pain, musculoskeletal and Sport medicine, and the intersection of rehabilitation with movement and human performance. Her goal is to build a clinical and academic career focused on restoring function, improving quality of life, and helping people return to what matters most to them. -
Sally Mahmoud-Werthmann
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Mahmoud-Werthmann's research focuses on implementation science, health equity, and healthcare delivery innovation, with an emphasis on improving care for patients experiencing social and structural barriers to health. She is particularly interested in understanding how evidence-based interventions can be effectively implemented, adapted, and scaled within real-world healthcare settings to improve access, quality, and outcomes for vulnerable populations.
A central theme of her work is centering the experiences of patients and communities in the design of healthcare interventions. She has a strong interest in qualitative and mixed-methods research and values approaches that elevate patient perspectives, identify barriers to care, and inform the development of more responsive healthcare systems. Her current work includes qualitative research exploring telehealth access and utilization among unstably housed populations, with a particular focus on co-designing potential solutions alongside patients and community stakeholders.
Her research also includes evaluation of community health worker programs, implementation strategies to increase adoption of evidence-based addiction treatment, including emergency department naltrexone prescribing, and operational approaches to addressing health-related social needs within healthcare systems. More broadly, she is interested in developing and evaluating scalable models that improve care transitions, strengthen system navigation, and advance health equity across the continuum of care.
In addition to her health services and implementation research, Dr. Mahmoud-Werthmann is interested in advancing equity within academic medicine. Her work in this area focuses on understanding barriers to advancement for women in emergency medicine and exploring innovative models of mentorship, sponsorship, and professional development that promote equitable career advancement and leadership opportunities. -
