Peter Meaney
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Critical Care
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Meaney focuses on improving how clinically serious interventions are adopted, implemented, and scaled in real-world care environments. His work spans clinical workflow, behavior change, and performance systems, with emphasis on why clinically valid approaches fail to translate into sustained use. He develops and deploys implementation models that align product, workflow, and stakeholder incentives to enable adoption across complex health systems.

Valerie Meausoone
Affiliate, Center for Population Health Sciences
BioValerie Meausoone is currently a Research Data Architect and Consultant at the Stanford Research Computing Center. Mrs. Meausoone has been one of the early users and testers of a computing environment for the distribution and use of high-risk and population-health related datasets at Stanford. She has also participated in efforts to expand the current Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model to administrative non-health related datasets, allowing researchers to share code on datasets. Mrs. Meausoone has recently completed various analyses aimed at leveraging existing data to better study the relationship between social constructs, such as gender norms and women's economic empowerment, and health.

David Medeiros
Geospatial Reference and Instruction Specialist, Geospatial Information Services
BioI am the Geospatial Reference and Instruction Specialist for the Stanford Geospatial Center, part of the Research Data Services group. I provide GIS consultation and reference support to Stanford students, faculty and staff. My primary role is supporting Stanford researchers in their use and understanding of geospatial tools, data, and methods.
Much of my time is spent conducting one-on-one consultations, training users on GIS software, finding spatial data, and helping design spatial analysis. In addition to one-on-one consultations I also coordinate and present our ongoing series of workshops in GIS (Introduction to GIS, Georeferencing, ArcGIS Online 101, GIS Cartography).
My educational background is in Geography and Geographic Information Science, but a significant part of my professional background is in digital cartography. I have a strong interest in the effective use of design in map making for GIS. I am available for faculty publication map support as well as novel geospatial design work with tools like Blender3d or 3d printing of spatial data. -

Today, as an Associate Test Engineer at KLA Corporation, Andres handles optics integration on advanced KLA Tools that leave no room for error. His background is a blend of technical rigor and operational leadership, having previously managed teams in a general management capacity. Andres stays sharp by applying his mechatronics background to his career and maintaining a disciplined approach to health and personal growth. -
Rishi Mediratta
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have developed a new promising neonatal mortality prediction score at the University of Gondar Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Gondar, Ethiopia. The score predicts approximately 84% of neonatal deaths in the NICU using clinical variables. I have a dataset over 800 NICU admissions in Gondar. I am recruiting scholars who are interested in conducting clinical and epidemiological research to validate, refine, and implement the mortality score to reduce neonatal mortality in Ethiopia.

Sangeeta Mediratta
PWR Lecturer
BioSangeeta Mediratta teaches classes on rhetoric and writing, literature and film. Her PWR classes currently focus on maps, borders, networks, objects, and objectification. She loves learning about and helping her students develop their research interests and projects and takes great joy in fostering strong class communities centered around writing and research.
She completed her Ph.D. from University of California, San Diego in English Literature. Her dissertation :Bazaars, Cannibals, and Sepoys: Sensationalism and Transnational Cultures of Empire" studied at the ways texts, objects, and spectacles in the U.S. and Britain drew upon imperial stories and objects to critique contemporary social formations. She has also written on world cinema, popular culture, disability studies, as well as gender and race studies.
Her current research focuses on the materiality of writing and on how students use culture as a way to build campus communities. She is also interested in empathy as a mode of living, connecting, writing, and being. -

BioElectrical and Computer Engineer & Entrepreneur with focal interest in Artificial Intelligence and IoT. Currently working in the development of next-gen smart cities in Brazil, the world's 2nd most advanced country in digital government.
My work focuses on innovation and digital transformation strategy, developing short, medium and long-term roadmaps for technology solutions propelling public administration over hundreds of cities in the country. Under my leadership at IPM, our SaaS platform has been awarded as the best solution for smart cities in Brazil, as one of the 2 most innovative software companies in Southern Brazil, and as the 5th best HR team in the country. -
Eric Meffre
Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
BioDr. Meffre obtained his PhD in Immunology from the Université d’Aix-Marseille in France before he moved to the USA as a postdoc fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Michel Nussenzweig at The Rockefeller University in New York City. He became an assistant professor at Cornell University in 2003 before being recruited at Yale University as associate professor in 2009. He was tenured at Yale in 2014 before he joined the Department of Medicine/Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford University as a tenured full professor in 2022.
Dr. Meffre’s work focuses on the etiology of autoimmune syndromes and the roles played by B cells in these diseases. His group characterized the abnormal selection of developing autoreactive B cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), type 1 diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Sjögren’s syndrome, resulting in large numbers of autoreactive naïve B cells accumulating in the patient’s blood. Hence, these autoreactive B cells may present self-antigens to T cells and initiate autoimmune diseases. These early B cell tolerance defects are likely primary to these autoimmune diseases and may result from genetic factors such as the 1858T PTPN22 allele that segregates with RA, SLE and T1D and correlate with an impaired removal of developing autoreactive B cells.
His research goals also consist in characterizing the molecules and pathways involved in the establishment of B cell tolerance and the removal of developing autoreactive B cells generated by random V(D)J recombination through the investigation of rare patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) enrolled through an international network. Alteration of B cell receptor (BCR) or Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in PID patients results in a defective central B cell tolerance and a failure to counterselect developing autoreactive B cells in the bone marrow. In contrast, functional and suppressive regulatory T cells play a key role in preventing the accumulation of autoreactive clones in the mature naïve B cell compartment. The recent development of humanized mouse models recapitulating early B cell tolerance checkpoints and their defects in autoimmune settings allow further in-depth investigation of tolerance mechanisms and the development of novel approaches to restore defective central and peripheral B cell tolerance checkpoints and thwart autoimmunity. -
