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.

Nielsen Fernandez-Becker
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioI am the director of the Celiac Disease Program at Stanford and I am highly experienced in diagnosis and management of celiac disease and gluten associated disorders.
My objective is to provide excellent and compassionate clinical care for my patients while seeking a better understanding of diseases I treat, particularly Celiac disease (CeD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). My top priorities are patient care and translational research to make new discoveries and improve the care my patients. -

Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Pediatrics - General PediatricsBioCaroline Figueroa, MD, PhD, is a visiting scholar at Stanford University. She is the 2025–26 Dutch Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice. She is an assistant professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, where she leads the Research on Inclusive Solutions and Empowerment in Digital Health (RISE) group. Her work focuses on making digital mental health solutions — such as apps and AI-chatbots — safe, effective, and accessible, particularly for adolescents, young adults, and women. Figueroa’s research on digital health equity has directly informed policy documents by global organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations, and has been published in leading journals including Lancet Digital Health, Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, and Human Brain Mapping.
Figueroa is a medical doctor with a PhD in the neuroscience of depression from the University of Amsterdam and the University of Oxford; she also has several years of experience in clinical psychiatry. Before joining TU Delft, she was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.
