Maria del Mar Sanchez Martin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the Neurosurgery Department at Stanford University, under the supervision of Dr. Llorente. My research interests lie in novel stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury, focusing not only on therapeutic applications with translational perspectives, but also on understanding the underlying mechanisms that promote recovery

Sriram Sudarsanam
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioSriram is broadly interested in how cellular interactions shape neurodevelopment. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Science, and Masters at the Weizmann Institute. His doctoral research in Alex Kolodkin’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins addressed the development of idiosyncratic axonal arborization patterns of cortical neurons. He developed genetic strategies to visualize and perturb sparse populations of neurons in the mouse brain, using which he identified novel molecular and cellular determinants of spatially-restricted axon branching in vivo.
Now, as a postdoctoral scholar in Brad Zuchero's laboratory, Sriram is working to develop novel genetic tools to observe and perturb neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions in vivo. In collaboration with Ivan Soltesz’s laboratory, he aims to employ these tools to understand how myelination regulates neural circuit assembly and function. -
Ummey Hani, MBBS, MD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioHani is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Stanford University in the Neurosurgical Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Laboratory. She earned her medical degree from Sindh Medical College, Pakistan, and completed her internship at the Aga Khan University, where she was recognized as Class Valedictorian and among the top five interns of 2022. She then pursued a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates in Charlotte, North Carolina, affiliated with Wake Forest University School of Medicine, focusing on spine surgery outcomes and biomechanics. Before joining Stanford, she served as Junior Research Faculty for neuro-oncology research at the Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan.
Hani’s research spans neuro-oncology, spine surgery, biomechanics, and the application of AI/ML in neurosurgical innovation. With a deep commitment to academic neurosurgery, she is currently working towards securing a neurosurgical residency. -
Ruolun Wei
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioRuolun Wei, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. Dr. Wei’s work centers on neuro-oncology, with particular emphasis on brain tumor recurrence, treatment resistance, and tumor metabolism. He is also a board-certified neurosurgeon, currently focusing on full-time research. His research aims to bridge the gap between clinical practice and laboratory investigation, conducting translational research that moves from bedside to bench and back to bedside to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with malignant brain tumors.
