Ziwei Wang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Therapy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current work focuses on establishing preclinical platforms to rapidly validate the functional impact of genetic alterations in tumors using both cell and genetically engineered mouse models. We hope this system can accelerate the discovery and translation of novel cancer therapies to patients.

Resident in Radiation Oncology - Radiation TherapyBioI’m originally from Birmingham, AL. I completed my undergraduate education at Tuskegee University and majored in Biology/Pre-Health and minored in Bioethics. I also received a Master of Science in Biomedical & Health Sciences from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and completed medical school at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. Following graduation from medical school, my intern year was spent in my hometown at Brookwood Baptist Health Transitional Year Program. One of my favorite aspects of radiation oncology at Stanford is the opportunity to give compassionate medical care to our cancer patients while working with the latest state-of-the-art medical technology. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, exercising, traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my family & friends.

Sandra Zaky
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiation Oncology - Radiation Therapy
BioDr. Zaky is a board certified Radiation Oncologist. She received a Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical/Electrical Engineering at Marquette University. She worked in research and development as an Engineer, and eventually received a Masters of Science in Immunology from Albany Medical College. Her research thesis focused on a novel therapy to treat hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. She continued to study breast cancer with her research during her Radiation Oncology residency; she integrated her research in the laboratory with her clinical research in triple-negative breast cancer. Since completing residency, she has worked as a general radiation oncologist, and her special interests include breast cancer, skin cancer, CNS tumors and stereotactic radiotherapy.
