Lindsay Scott Moore, MD
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
BioDr. Moore is a board-certified, fellowship-trained physician-researcher in otology, neurotology, and lateral skull base surgery with Stanford Health Care Ear Institute. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Otology-Neurotology, Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Moore specializes in surgery for disorders of the middle ear, inner ear, ear canal, facial nerve, and skull base for adults and children. She provides expert care for hearing loss and deafness, including cochlear implants for hearing loss. Other areas of expertise include vestibular schwannomas and other tumors of the lateral skull base, cerebrospinal fluid leaks (when membranes around the brain and spinal cord have a hole or tear), and cholesteatoma (noncancerous inner ear cysts). She also specializes in tympanic membrane (eardrum) perforations, glomus (rare and usually benign) skull base tumors (paragangliomas), and ear and temporal bone cancers.
Dr. Moore brings her clinical, surgical, and research expertise together to apply laboratory research to real-life patient care. Her research interests include optical and fluorescence molecular imaging (advanced, noninvasive imaging techniques) and applications in intraoperative surgical navigation to guide safe and effective resection of tumors. She also researches molecular characterization, used to show molecular characteristics of tissues and cells, with applications in targeted drug development. She applies her research to conditions including vestibular schwannoma (a noncancerous tumor on nerves connecting the ears and brain), cholesteatoma, skull base neoplasms (cancerous or noncancerous tumors), and hearing loss.
Additionally, Dr. Moore has a special interest in translational human clinical trials, including trial design and regulatory process navigation. Using her clinical trial experience, she works to apply novel investigations and treatment advances in her field. Her clinical research interests include treating and managing vestibular schwannoma, cholesteatoma, and other neoplasms of the ear and lateral skull base.
Dr. Moore has published her work in many peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Communications, Clinical Cancer Research, Annals of Surgery, Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and JAMA Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery. She has given lectures and served on discussion panels at numerous national conferences and meetings. Her presentations have covered her work using novel molecular imaging techniques for surgery of vestibular schwannoma and head and neck cancers, clinical trials exploring therapies for vestibular schwannoma, and clinical trial development and implementation in neurotology.
Dr. Moore is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American Neurotology Society, International Society for Fluorescence Guided Surgery, and the World Molecular Imaging Society. -

Varsha Mysore Athreya
Postdoctoral Scholar, Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
BioVarsha began her academic journey with a BS in Speech and Hearing from the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in Mysuru, India. She earned her Master’s degree in Audiology in 2018, with a thesis focused on temporal processing and speech perception in noisy environments. She completed her doctoral degree in May 2024, working with Dr. Bharadwaj on age-related effects on temporal processing and speech perception, and with Dr. Heinz on the effects of peripheral hearing damage on cortical auditory responses. Currently, she is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University with Dr. Matthew Fitzgerald, where she is developing pipelines for handling large clinical datasets and applying machine learning to enhance clinical diagnosis and management.
