  • Moustafa Elattar

    Moustafa Elattar

    Visiting Instructor,

    BioDr. Moustafa Elattar is a Visiting Instructor at Stanford University’s Neuro-Oncology Laboratory. Originally from Egypt, he earned his M.B.B.Ch. with honors from Benha Faculty of Medicine, Benha University. Dr. Elattar has a strong background in clinical research, biostatistical analysis, and evidence-based medicine. His work at Stanford focuses on high-impact projects in Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), exploring clinical outcomes, indications, and treatment-related effects in neurosurgical diseases such as meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, paragangliomas, and arteriovenous malformations.

    Beyond his current research, Dr. Elattar is passionate about integrating clinical insight with data-driven methodologies to advance neuro-oncology and improve patient outcomes.

    Ryann Fame, PhD

    Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsEarly neural progenitors respond to extrinsic cues that maintain and support their potency. These stem/ progenitor cells are in direct contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as part of their niche. Our research program encompasses the early neural stem cell niche, neural tube closure, CSF, metabolism, and cortical neuronal development. We are dedicated to broad collaboration focused on translating an understanding of neurodevelopment and CSF biology into regenerative strategies.

  • Rongxin Fang

    Rongxin Fang

    Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Genetics

    BioRongxin Fang received his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from the University of California, San Diego, under the mentorship of Bing Ren (2015–2019). During his doctoral training, he developed high-throughput genomic technologies and computational tools to map the structure and activity of the mammalian genome at large scale and single-cell resolution. He then applied these approaches to investigate how cis-regulatory elements - such as enhancers - control gene expression and drive the diverse transcriptional programs underlying cellular diversity in the mammalian brain. As an HHMI–Damon Runyon Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University (2019–2024). Rongxin developed and applied genome-scale, volumetric 3D transcriptome imaging methods to map the molecular and cellular architecture of the mammalian brain across evolution and aging. He also contributed to the collaboration with Adam Cohen and Catherine Dulac to integrate transcriptome imaging with functional neuronal imaging, identifying neuronal populations in the animal brain that underlie specific brain functions.
