Nneoma S. Wamkpah, MD MSCI
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery
BioDr. Nneoma Stephanie Wamkpah is a board-certified, fellowship-trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Stanford Health Care Ear, Nose, and Throat. She is also an assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Division of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Wamkpah cares for patients with facial paralysis, nasal problems, and facial injuries. She performs both functional and cosmetic surgery, including rhinoplasty, facial trauma repair, and procedures to restore movement after nerve damage. Her approach focuses on improving how patients look and function while tailoring care to their individual needs and goals.
As a physician-researcher, Dr. Wamkpah explores how facial plastic and reconstructive surgery affects patients’ quality of life and functional outcomes. She studies patient-reported measures to improve surgical quality, shared decision-making between patients and surgeons, and ways to ensure equitable access to reconstructive care. She is also interested in innovations in facial reanimation, evidence-based approaches to facial trauma management, and the impact of medical education on surgical planning and execution.
Dr. Wamkpah has authored several book chapters as well as articles in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine, and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. She has presented her work at national conferences, including the annual meetings of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), and the Rhinoplasty Society.
Dr. Wamkpah is a member of AAO-HNS, AAFPRS, and the Sir Charles Bell Society. She also volunteers her skills internationally, providing surgery for children and adults in resource-limited countries. -

Tom Wandless
Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe employ an interdisciplinary approach to studies of biological systems, combining synthetic chemistry with biochemistry, cell biology, and structural biology. We invent tools for biology and we are motivated by approaches that enable new experiments with unprecedented control. These new techniques may also provide a window into mechanisms involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Protein quality control is a particular interest at present.

Adam Wang
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory)
BioMy research group develops technologies for advanced x-ray and CT imaging, including artificial intelligence for CT acquisition, reconstruction, and image processing; spectral imaging, including photon counting CT (PCCT) and dual-layer flat-panel detectors; novel system and detector designs; and their applications in diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures. I am also the Director of the Photon Counting CT Lab, Zeego Lab, and Tabletop X-Ray Lab.
I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, developing strategies for maximizing the information content of dual energy CT and photon counting detectors. I then pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the I-STAR Lab, developing reconstruction and registration methods for x-ray based image-guided surgery. I was then a Senior Scientist at Varian Medical Systems, developing x-ray/CT methods for image-guided radiation therapy, before returning to Stanford in 2018, where I now lead a comprehensive research program in advanced x-ray and CT imaging systems and methods, with funding from NIH, DOD, DOE, and industry partners. -
