Leina Alrabadi
Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
BioI enjoy working with a multidisciplinary team to care for patients who have complex medical needs with the aim of giving children a better future. As a clinical researcher, my main focus is on finding improved therapies for autoimmune and cholestatic liver diseases, since an ideal therapy currently does not exist.

Ramsha Altaf
Affiliate, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioI am originally from Pakistan and recently completed my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, with my education taking shape across three institutions in Pakistan and the United States. I am now completing my pre-med prerequisites as I continue building toward medicine. As the first woman in my family line to pursue higher education in this way, education has always carried deep meaning for me.
My path has been nontraditional, and that has shaped the way I think about care, advocacy, and opportunity. Along the way, I co-founded a youth mental health platform and gained clinical experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, which strengthened my interest in patient-centered care and the systems that shape it.
At Stanford, I am involved in functional medicine, complex pediatric care, and senior care clinics, and I am also engaging with research through these experiences. Being part of these spaces has expanded the way I think about care across different stages of life and deepened my interest in medicine that is both thoughtful and advocacy-driven.
Long-term, I hope to pursue an MD–JD so I can both treat patients and advocate for them. -
Olivia Altamirano, PhD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCulturally Sensitive Therapy is a group psychotherapy for people with early psychosis and their families. Study aims are to understand if this treatment is compatible with this population, to assess improvements in family functioning and mental health symptoms, to assess mediating factors (e.g., increased usage of adaptive religious and other cultural beliefs/values), and to assess longevity of improvements. Last, we aim to qualitatively understand participants’ experiences with this treatment.
