Asad Gul Rao
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pediatric Surgery
BioAs a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Division of Pediatric Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, I conduct outcomes research focused on improving the care of children with surgical disorders. My work integrates clinical epidemiology, large-scale healthcare databases, and population-level analyses to study pediatric surgical outcomes, healthcare disparities, and global disease burden.
My research interests include pediatric surgical infections, congenital anomalies, health services research, and evidence-based approaches to optimizing surgical care. I have experience working with multicenter clinical databases and international collaborative research initiatives, with a particular interest in translating real-world data into findings that help clinical practice and healthcare policy.
My long-term goal is to pursue a career in academic pediatric surgery, combining clinical practice with research to improve surgical outcomes and expand access to high-quality care for children worldwide.
