Natally Celaya-Martinez
Affiliate, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioMy name is Natally Celaya-Martinez, and I am from the Skagit Valley area in Washington State. I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle with a B.S. in Biology (Physiology), where I learned a lot about navigating new spaces and learning a lot of wholesome lessons along the way ~
My interest in healthcare was shaped by watching my family navigate care through language barriers and moments of misunderstanding, revealing how easily patients can be left unheard. But growing up in a small community, I came to see how crucial it is to reduce healthcare disparities, which strengthened my commitment to serve underrepresented populations.
I am honored to be part of the Stanford Healthcare team and look forward to learning from peers and physicians who are committed to patient centered care. I hope to carry these experiences forward in my journey to medicine and give back to future generations! -

Alma-Martina Cepika
Assistant Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCepika Lab studies human immune tolerance. Using cellular immunology, genomics, and gene engineering, we aim to understand: 1) the role of human thymic regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inducible type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells in resistance to anti-tumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy, and 2) the interplay between innate and adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our overarching goal is to leverage our discoveries for improving patient outcomes.
