Vivianne Tawfik
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy overall research interest is to understand how the immune system interacts with the nervous system after injury to promote the transition from acute to chronic pain. In my clinical practice I care for patients with persistent pain that often occurs after minor trauma such as fracture or surgery. Using basic science approaches including whole system immune phenotyping with mass cytometry and genetic manipulation of peripheral and central immune cells, we seek to dissect the temporal and tissue-specific contribution of these cells to either promotion or inhibition of healing.

Nigel Wilkinson-Maitland
Fellow in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean OtherBioSalut! My name is Nigel. I was born and raised in Montréal, playing soccer, biking, and skiing the east coast mountains while completing undergrad at McGill University. The cycling became more serious when a couple friends and I set out across eastern Canada to raise relief funds for a local town that suffered a tragic train derailment. I headed south of the border to study medicine at Stony Brook University and completed Anesthesia residency at Mount Sinai in New York. When the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted elective surgeries and our lives, a few colleagues and I teamed up to convert consumer sleep apnea devices to accessible and scalable mechanical ventilation. After testing at Walter Reed, the blueprints were shared freely and put to use in several developing countries before being presented at the 2021 American Society of Anesthesiology conference. As a keen Stanford fellow, I look forward to the challenges of Pediatric Anesthesia training and west coast cycling.
