Islam Mohamed Nour Hassan Mohamed
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pediatric Surgery
BioDr. Islam Nour is a molecular virologist with over fifteen years of research experience spanning viral genomics, reverse genetics, and structural–functional analysis of pathogenic RNA viruses. As a previous postdoctoral fellow in Molecular Virology at USDA-ARS, he designed and deployed reverse-genetics systems for IBDV and avian reovirus, integrated Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing with comparative genomics, and coupled these approaches to IHC/IF-based pathogenesis models. His earlier work on rotavirus and SARS-CoV spike evolution, protein modelling, and molecular viral surveillance further strengthened his ability to connect viral sequence variation to phenotypic outcomes and tissue injury. He is particularly motivated to bring this mechanistic and translational expertise to multidisciplinary clinical teams in pediatric liver disease and transplantation in division of pediatric surgery in Stanford Medicine, contributing rigorous viral pathogenesis, vector design, and protein expression skills to clinically relevant models and biomarker discovery.

Anita Tanniru Mohan, MBBS, PhD, MBA
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
BioDr. Anita Mohan is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who provides care at the Stanford Health Care Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Mohan completed core surgical training and several years of plastic surgery training in university teaching hospitals in London and Cambridge, UK. Dr. Mohan also completed a one-year clinical fellowship at University of Cape Town, South Africa, in pediatric burns, plastic surgery, and hand surgery. She subsequently completed a second residency at the Mayo Clinic in plastic surgery, followed by advanced fellowship training in microsurgery at Stanford.
Dr. Mohan performs a wide range of surgeries, including complex reconstructive surgery for breast, trunk, and lower extremities; cosmetic (aesthetic) procedures; and surgery using microscopes and precise tools (microsurgery and supermicrosurgery). She has a particular interest in complex reconstruction for lymphedema, using the latest techniques in microsurgery, perforator flaps, and transfer of a healthy nerve to a damaged nerve (neurotization) to restore sensation. She also has an interest in expanding the role of robotic and minimally invasive techniques in reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Mohan has experience in the management of lipedema, gender-affirming top surgeries with neurotization for sensation preservation, and body contouring surgery following massive weight loss. She also performs breast surgery, including augmentation, revision, reconstruction, and reduction; skin cancer reconstruction; esophageal reconstruction; and other reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries. Dr. Mohan believes in tailoring care to the patient’s specific needs and goals and works toward restoring form, function, and the physical and mental well-being of her patients.
Dr. Mohan’s research interests include lymphedema, lipedema, gender-affirming top surgeries, and massive weight loss body contouring. She also has a strong interest in microcirculation (blood flow through the smallest blood vessels) and has worked on surgical simulation training for microsurgery and 3D modeling projects.
Dr. Mohan has published her research in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic and Aesthetic Research, Annals of Translational Medicine, ePlasty, Annals of Surgery, and Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery. Dr. Mohan serves on several American Society of Plastic Surgeons committees and as a journal reviewer. She has also served as an associate editor for the Plastic Surgery Education Network and Frontiers in Surgery.
Dr. Mohan has presented to her peers at international, national, and regional meetings, including the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery.
Dr. Mohan is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. -

Arden Morris, MD, MPH, FACS
Robert L. and Mary Ellenburg Professor of Surgery, and Professor, by courtesy, of Health Policy
BioArden M. Morris, MD, MPH is Vice-Chair for Clinical Research, the Robert L. and Mary Ellenburg Professor of Surgery, and by courtesy Professor of Health Policy at the Stanford School of Medicine. She is Director of the S-SPIRE Center, a health services research collaborative to study patient-centered care, clinical optimization, and health care economics. In her own work, Dr. Morris uses quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methods to focus on quality of and equity in cancer care. To that end, she currently is funded by American Cancer Society and NIH to study access to care, clinical outcomes, and policy related to insurance design. Dr. Morris currently serves on the American Joint Commission on Cancer, the NIH Special Emphasis Panel “Topics in Health Services Research: Big Data, Health Information Technology, and Clinical Informatics,” and as Associate Editor for Surgery at JAMA Network Open.
