Stanford Department of Medicine
@stanforddeptmed
Faculty, trainees, staff, and research associates committed to caring for patients, each other, and communities both local and global.
This summer, our 2026 Stanford-HBMC cohort from Howard, Morehouse, Meharry & Charles R. Drew arrived curious & left us certain the future of medicine is in excellent hands!
@usc.edu's Valter Longo joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social on The Future of Medicine. He shares how his lab developed a low-sugar, low-protein diet to reproduce some of the body's responses to fasting without requiring people to stop eating. Watch now: https://bit.ly/4wQkxdg
Research led by #StanDOM's Matthew Grieshop, Aaron A. Behr & Ami Bhatt indicates the hospital superbug E. faecium may evolve in real time inside patients' guts using small pieces of mobile DNA that most infection surveillance does not track. More in #MedStory: https://stanford.io/4fsVzJM
#StanDOM's Robert Negrin pioneered the foundational science behind TREGZI™, a new FDA-approved cell therapy for adults with blood cancers undergoing matched-donor stem cell transplant. https://bwnews.pr/4gEeiEB

In this Q&A, #StanDOM's Marina Basina shares the science behind the first #IsletCellTransplant with immune tolerance induction, a procedure that could bring patients with #Type1Diabetes closer to a cure. https://stanford.io/44xVfEK
According to recent #StanDOM-led research, pregnant women who experience a severe form of nausea (hyperemesis gravidarum) face increased risks for several pregnancy & birth complications. https://stan.md/4f2vykk
#StanDOM's Sun Kim helps break down the basics of #GLP1s, discussing the science behind weight loss, side effects & safety. https://stan.md/4wBfSvD
In this episode of The Future of Medicine, #InfectiousDisease expert @mtosterholm.bsky.social joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social to examine what #COVID19 taught us & why the world remains dangerously underprepared for the next #pandemic. @cidrap.bsky.social https://bit.ly/3SLLwbg
Santiago Sanchez, a new Stanford Cancer Biology PhD Program graduate, is studying telomere structure in the Artandi Lab (#StanDOM's Steven Artandi) to improve early cancer detection & prevention. Learn more: https://stan.md/4wkx0FQ
Instead of studying illness, a Stanford Medicine research team is studying elite endurance athletes to uncover clues about longevity & future treatment paths. #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social is part of the team behind it. https://stanford.io/4f8SSx4
From a six-student pilot to a 31-student global cohort in just a few years, Stanford Medicine's M-TRAM program is preparing the next wave of leaders to translate discovery into real-world impact. https://stanford.io/3QV2SSq
When #StanDOM Administrative Specialist Tawny Bagnol noticed an opportunity to bring basic CPR training to nonclinical staff in our Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, she championed a training event that equipped colleagues with this lifesaving skill. https://stanford.io/4vOwOPh
Published in @jamanetworkopen.com: Stanford CDH researchers explored patient experiences with #GLP1 medications & found these therapies may help patients gain greater control over lifestyle changes while highlighting the need for stronger education, support & access to care. https://bit.ly/4a92N3S
Stanford Health AI Week featured #StanDOM's Tracy Rydel & Tina Hernandez-Boussard, who each took the stage to share their perspectives on AI in medicine: https://stan.md/3QC62dG
In a new @jamanetworkopen.com study from Stanford Center for Digital Health, researchers interviewed patients about their real experiences with #GLP1 medications. For many, the story was about life when food was no longer in charge. https://stanford.io/4gfNpGU
#StanDOM's Paul Bollyky will lead Stanford Medicine's new Center for #PhagePharmaceuticals to advance the use of bacteria-killing viruses as therapies for drug-resistant infections. https://stan.md/4uWt4de
New on #FutureOfMedicine: #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social & @Stanford Health Policy's Michelle Mello discuss how AI is entering one of the most consequential administrative processes in healthcare: prior authorization. Watch now: https://youtu.be/St1C_MJ_7kA
For much of medical history, #LGBTQIA+ communities were left out of health research. As co-director of The PRIDE Study, #StanDOM's Annesa Flentje is working to change that. Flentje discusses why community-engaged science plays an essential role in the effort: https://stanford.io/3QYGLub
In a small pilot study, a Stanford Medicine-developed tool that eases the burden of writing hospital discharge summaries is shown to be safe, & using it reduced physician burnout. https://stan.md/4uOVHsS
A new report from the American Academy of Microbiology & the American Geophysical Union, co-authored by Stanford CIGH Global Health Faculty Fellow Erin Mordecai documents how more frequent extreme weather events are impacting infectious disease. https://stanford.io/4xpdIjT
Through the Stanford Health Career Collaborative, #StanDOM welcomed students from East Palo Alto Academy & Eastside College Preparatory School to Stanford Medicine for an introduction to medical careers. Proud to inspire the next generation of medical learners! https://stanford.io/4aJCFg6
In this episode of The Future of Medicine with #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social, we are honored to welcome Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) & one of the nation's most influential public health leaders. https://youtu.be/1MWu-vVmMAo
