Marisa Galvez
Professor of French and Italian and, by courtesy, of German Studies and of Comparative Literature
BioMarisa Galvez specializes in the literature of the Middle Ages in France and Western Europe, especially the poetry and narrative literature written in Occitan and Old French. Her areas of interest include the troubadours, vernacular poetics, the intersection of performance and literary cultures, and the critical history of medieval studies as a discipline. At Stanford, she currently teaches courses on medieval and Renaissance French literature and love lyric, as well as interdisciplinary upper level courses on the medieval imaginary in modern literature, film, and art.
Her first book, Songbook: How Lyrics Became Poetry in Medieval Europe (University of Chicago Press, 2012, awarded John Nicholas Brown Prize from the Medieval Academy of America), treats what poetry was before the emergence of the modern category, “poetry”: that is, how vernacular songbooks of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries shaped our modern understanding of poetry by establishing expectations of what is a poem, what is a poet, and what is lyric poetry itself. The first comparative study of songbooks, the book concerns three vernacular traditions—Occitan, Middle High German, and Castilian—and analyzes how the songbook emerged from its original performance context of oral publication, into a medium for preservation, and finally became a literary object that performs the interests of poets and readers.
Her second book, The Subject of Crusade:Lyric, Romance, and Materials, 1150-1500 (University of Chicago Press, 2020) examines how the crusader subject of vernacular literature sought to reconcile secular ideals about love and chivalry with crusade. This study places this literature in dialogue with new ideas about penance and confession that emerged from the second half of the twelfth century to the end of the thirteenth. Subject argues that poetic articulations are crucial for understanding the crusades as a complex cultural and historical phenomenon, and examines another version of speaking crusades, in which lyric, romance and materials such as tapestries, textiles, and tombstones manifest ambivalence about crusade ideals. -

Christina Gangemi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr Christina Gangemi received her undergraduate degree from Monash University (2016) specialising in molecular biology and biochemistry. She became an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Scholar (2016) and completed her Honours thesis (2017) at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), Monash University. She later joined Professor Harald Janovjak’s group at ARMI (2018) as a research assistant before completing her doctorate degree (2019-2023) where she studied optical approaches to promote pancreatic beta cell regeneration. Key achievements from this work include establishing an automated image analysis approach to quantify islet proliferation assays, designing a modular light-emitting diode shelving system for ex vivo and in vitro illumination of primary islets, generating a new assay to test cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) function (a known beta cell proliferation driver), and exploring the effects of photoswitchable pdDronpa domains when engineered into CDK6. During her candidature, she was awarded a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia PhD Top-Up Scholarship. In 2023 she undertook a Postdoctoral Research Associate role in the Janovjak group at Flinders University and has recently joined Professor Seung Kim's group at Stanford University.

Dina Ganji
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Visiting Scholar, Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesBioDina Ganji, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist and Visiting Scholar at Stanford University, working at the intersection of clinical psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and translational neuroscience. Her research focuses on integrating neuroimaging, neuromodulation techniques, and clinical phenotyping to advance precision psychiatry, with a particular emphasis on autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental disorders, and cognitive neuroscience in children, as well as mood and substance use disorders.
She has a strong and growing interest in autism, pediatric neurocognition, and broader neurodevelopmental conditions, with a particular focus on understanding cognitive and behavioral mechanisms in early development and translating these insights into more individualized and effective interventions.
Dr. Ganji completed her Psychiatry Residency at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, where she also gained extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of psychiatric disorders. She is a board-certified psychiatrist with clinical expertise in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care.
At Stanford University, she has contributed to multiple interdisciplinary research programs. In Dr. Maldonado’s lab, she serves as a research coordinator for large-scale clinical and longitudinal studies, including delirium outcomes in patients (LUCIDIFY study), psychosocial assessment in transplant candidates (SIPAT project), and clinical cohorts involving CAR-T and hematopoietic stem cell therapy.
Previously, in the Brain Stimulation Lab at Stanford, she gained hands-on experience in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including motor threshold assessment and clinical application of H-coil protocols in patients with OCD, depression and anxiety disorders. She also received training in functional MRI (fMRI) data acquisition and interpretation through advanced neuroscience courses.
In Iran, she served as Research and Development Lead at Atrin Clinic, where she integrated repetitive TMS (rTMS), pharmacological treatment, and clinical assessment tools for patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance use disorders, while systematically monitoring treatment outcomes.
Her research output includes multiple peer-reviewed publications in international journals, covering topics such as autism spectrum disorder, neuromodulation in bipolar disorder, congenital heart defects in vulnerable pediatric populations, neurocognitive effects of environmental exposure, and adjunctive treatments in psychiatric disorders.
Beyond research, Dr. Ganji is actively involved in academic service, including conference organization, neuropsychiatry committee activities, and peer review for scientific journals. She has also completed professional training in mind-body medicine approaches.
Dr. Ganji is deeply committed to patient-centered psychiatry and is particularly motivated by understanding autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and pediatric cognitive neuroscience. She aims to bridge neuroscience and clinical psychiatry to develop more precise, individualized interventions that improve outcomes in children and patients with complex psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. -
