Marwa Abu El Haija
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
BioI am a pediatric gastroenterologist with clinical and research interest in childhood obesity. I believe that each patient is unique in their disease and background, that is why they deserve to be approached in an individualized way. I aspire to discover what's unknown about the pathophysiologic causes of obesity, and the mechanisms of which treatments work. My clinical and research interests in pediatric obesity found home within Stanford's distinctive position academically, medically and geographically.

Ragini Adams
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Hematology & Oncology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCirculating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is DNA that is released by tumor cells into the blood of the host; it is a fraction of all the cell free DNA (cfDNA) that is present. Because ctDNA contains the mutations of the original tumor, it is detectable using next generation sequencing and is an accurate surrogate measure of tumor burden. Therefore, ctDNA is an emerging biomarker in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) that is specific, quantifiable, and can be measured by noninvasive means. Using ctDNA to explore the genetic landscape of pediatric HL and monitor the response of these patients to therapy has never been done before and is my current focus of study.

Ananta Addala
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology)
BioDr. Ananta Addala is a pediatric endocrinologist and physician scientist addressing disparities in pediatric type 1 diabetes management and outcomes. As a physician with a background in pediatric endocrinology, epidemiology, and behavioral health, she aims to build an evidence-based approach to addressing T1D disparities by systematically evaluating youth-, family-, provider-, and system-level barriers to optimal diabetes care in youth from low socioeconomic and racial/ethnic minority groups.
To date, her publications have demonstrated that the disparities in pediatric T1D by socioeconomic status are worsening in the US, provider bias against public insurance is common, and public insurance mediated interruptions to diabetes technology adversely impact glycemic outcomes. She has also been leading the efforts to improve justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in research at Stanford University through her leadership at Stanford Pediatrics Advancing Anti-Racism Coalition and as the co-chair of TrialNet's Underrepresented Minorities Outreach Committee. -
