Staff, Neurosurgery OperationsBioDr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson is a Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery (Affiliated) at Stanford School of Medicine, Director of Research for Women's Operational Military Exposure Network Center of Excellence (WOMENCOE), and Senior Scientist for Rehabilitation Services at VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Adamson completed her undergraduate degrees in neurobiology and women's studies at the University of California, Irvine. She completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Southern California and a postdoctoral fellowship in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. She also has a Masters in Healthcare Leadership from the School of Public Health from Brown University and is a faculty fellow for Stanford Byers Biodesign Program.
Dr. Adamson’s expertise and interests span employing translational neuroscience methodologies for diagnostic and neuromodulation treatments (such as repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)) for frequent health problems in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), psychiatric problems, and Alzheimer's disease. She has employed advanced structural and functional imaging modalities and biomarker assessments for treatment response and diagnosis in Veteran, active military, and civilian populations with these health problems. She has been a leader in identifying sex differences in brain injury, particularly in the Veteran population. She currently serves as PI and Site-PI on numerous neuromodulation clinical trials and collaborates internationally to develop advanced diagnostic methods in neuroimaging, especially in underserved communities. As Director of the Adamson Lab, she is actively involved in translating research, such as neuromodulation and virtual and augmented reality, into clinical settings.
In her new role as Research Director of WOMENCOE, she is developing the research and education center to investigate and disseminate findings on the impact of military environmental exposure on reproductive health, cancer, psychiatric illness, cognitive decline, and other women's health issues. This network is funded by the VA Health Outcomes Military Exposure Center under Department of Veterans Affairs
Dr. Adamson is also the lead PI of ENIGMA-PAK study that aims to Leverage Consanguinity in Pakistan to Uncover the Genomic Architecture of Alzheimer's Disease. She has received recognition in national and international settings and serves on several editorial and industry advisory boards. She is also CEO and founder of her digital health startup Soof Solutions Inc which uses eye tracking for communication in individuals lacking the power of speech. She is also intricately involved in mentoring postdoctoral fellows, residents, undergraduates and high school students in STEM careers. -

Visiting Instructor,
BioMostafa Hikmat Saeed Algabri, M.B.Ch.B., is a physician and clinical researcher currently serving as a visiting instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. His research focuses on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), neurovascular disease, and advanced neuroimaging, with particular interest in evaluating the outcomes, indications, and adverse effects of radiosurgical interventions in neurosurgical disorders such as arteriovenous malformations, vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, and paragangliomas.
Dr. Algabri graduated from the College of Medicine at the University of Baghdad and is ECFMG-certified. He successfully completed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) steps 1 and 2 (CK). He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in neurosurgery, neurology, and neuroradiology journals and actively collaborates on international research projects involving cerebrovascular disease, spine surgery, and neurosurgical outcomes research.
In addition to his work at Stanford, Dr. Algabri serves as a peer reviewer for several scientific journals, including World Neurosurgery, World Neurosurgery: X, Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, and Cureus.
Dr. Algabri is the founder of the NeuroResearch Circle academic platform and the developer of the Stroke Localizer educational system designed to teach stroke localization and neuroanatomy through interactive learning. His research has been presented at international scientific meetings, including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), the Academic International Medical Summit (AIMS), and the International Student Congress of (Bio)Medical Sciences (ISCOMS). In 2025, he received the Ideal Physician Award from the Iraqi Medical Association in recognition of his dedication to patient care, professionalism, and contributions to academic medicine.
