Salaar Ahmed
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioSalaar Ahmed is a postdoctoral research scholar in Ramayya’s Lab in the Department of Neurological Surgery at Stanford University. His research focuses on the mechanisms and novel treatments for chronic and cancer pain, neuro modulation, and global neurosurgery.
He earned his MD from Aga Khan University in January 2026, graduating summa cum laude with a record 15 honors and 18 university awards across all courses. During medical school, he conducted research on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) and global neurosurgical outcomes under the mentorship of Dr. Ather Enam and Dr. Naureen Mushtaq.
Salaar previously served as President of the student wing of Child Protection Services (CPS) at Aga Khan University Hospital and co-founded the Student Neurosurgery and Oncology Research Consortium (SNORC) to facilitate neurosurgery research opportunities for medical students. -
Tazbir Ahmed
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Tazbir Ahmed is a clinician-scientist with a focus on neuro-ophthalmology and vision science, bringing expertise in translational research, clinical trials, and medical education. He obtained his medical degree and licensure through the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council and achieved board certification in Ophthalmology from the Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Motivated by a deep interest in ocular neurodegeneration, inflammation, and metabolic eye disorders, Dr. Ahmed pursued a PhD in Ophthalmology at the University of Tokyo School of Medicine. His doctoral research explored the use of biologics, ocular devices, and experimental models of inflammation to investigate retinal and optic nerve changes in glaucoma, optic neuropathies, and age-related visual decline.
Dr. Ahmed’s multidisciplinary research integrates preclinical disease models, neuroimaging, ocular histochemistry, omics technologies, and electrophysiological methods to elucidate mechanisms of visual pathway dysfunction. He also leverages data science tools to address key issues in ocular public health. -
Meghali Aich
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioMy research interest lies in understanding how environmental factors contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders and translating those insights into therapies. Aligned with this, my current research in Dr. Anca Pasca’s lab at Stanford focuses on how reductive stress associated with maternal metabolic syndrome affects fetal brain development.
