Kelsey C. Priest
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioKelsey Priest, MD, PhD, MPH is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. Dr. Priest completed her MD/PhD at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the joint School of Public Health at OHSU-Portland State University. She earned her doctorate in Health Systems & Policy, defending her mixed-methods dissertation titled "Hospital-Based Services for Opioid Use Disorder: A Study of Supply-Side Attributes." Dr. Priest began her residency at UPMC's Western Psychiatric Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, before transferring to Stanford, where she completed the remainder of her psychiatry residency training. During her third year at Stanford, she served as the Inpatient Chief Resident, and as a fourth year resident was part of the first group of residents designated as Social Medicine & Humanities Research Track Residents. While in residency, Dr. Priest completed a two-year psychoanalytic psychotherapy program as part of the Palo Alto Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program. In 2025, Dr. Priest completed a multi-week training in Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET).
Clinically, Dr. Priest focuses on caring for patients with functional and somatic distress, as well as those requiring high-acuity psychiatric services. Dr. Priest's research explores health service, system, and policy-related issues that impact access to evidence-based care for people with mental health and substance use disorders. -
Rosita Primavera
Basic Life Research Scientist, Rad/Pediatric Radiology
BioDr. Rosita Primavera is a Basic Life Research Scientist at Stanford University in the Department of Radiology/Pediatric Radiology. With an MD in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnologies, she brings a robust educational background to her research endeavors. Dr. Primavera has extensive experience in developing nano- and micro-drug delivery systems (DDS) as well as 3D platforms aimed at treating various diseases.
Her training includes a variety of techniques for creating drug delivery systems and 3D platforms, utilizing both synthetic and natural materials, and employing methods such as top-down and bottom-up fabrication. Over the past few years, Dr. Primavera's research interests have increasingly focused on diabetes. She has received extensive training in handling and processing pancreatic islets from multiple sources, including mice, rats, and humans, equipping her with the expertise needed to conduct both in vitro and in vivo experiments involving diabetic animal models. Dr. Primavera is focused on developing an on-command system that mimics pancreatic islet function. Her current research further investigates the role of 3D bioscaffolds in pancreatic islet transplantation, along with the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells in diabetes treatment. She is particularly interested in innovative cellular approaches, such as co-transplantation of islets alone, within cutting-edge bioscaffolds, or in conjunction with stem cells. Through her work, Dr. Primavera aims to enhance therapeutic strategies for diabetes and improve patient outcomes. -
Angela Primbas, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Angela Primbas is a board-certified, fellowship-trained internal medicine doctor with Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine.
As part of Stanford Concierge Medicine, Dr. Primbas provides individualized primary care built on a strong patient-provider relationship. She specializes in geriatric medicine and is experienced in both inpatient and outpatient primary care settings. She is especially interested in providing preventive care and treating health concerns related to healthy aging, longevity, bone health, and postmenopausal aging.
In every aspect of her practice, Dr. Primbas emphasizes compassionate care, taking the time to listen to and understand each person’s needs. She is also passionate about working with medically underserved populations, including individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.
Dr. Primbas studies how health systems can improve their approach and training to serve marginalized groups better. She also focuses on enhancing medical education for students and residents. Dr. Primbas cofounded Stanford Ambulatory Care Excellence, a program that supports internal medicine residents with opportunities to improve the skills needed to provide excellent primary care. She has also created and taught curricula on geriatrics, healthy aging, osteoporosis, and LGBTQ+ health.
Dr. Primbas has published her research in peer-reviewed journals, including AIDS Care, Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, and Journal of Investigative Medicine. She has also written book chapters about LGBTQ+ health in older adults, published in Clinics in Geriatric Medicine and Geriatric Review Syllabus, and on the diagnosis and management of headaches in older patients. As an advocate and collaborator, Dr. Primbas has shared her research and medical expertise around the world, including at meetings of the American Geriatrics Society, the American College of Physicians, and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care.
Dr. Primbas is a member of the American College of Physicians and American Geriatrics Society. -
Prince Allawadhi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
BioMy research focuses on immune-stromal crosstalk in pancreatic diseases, with an emphasis on how myofibroblasts and macrophages drive inflammation, fibrosis, and multi-organ dysfunction. By integrating patient-derived organoids, zebrafish models, and multi-omics, I aim to unravel the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic injury and repair. I am developing cutting-edge zebrafish models of exocrine pancreas disorders to uncover novel immuno-fibrotic pathways and accelerate the identification of translational targets for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.
