Resident in SurgeryBioI was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. I first attended Onondaga Community College, where I developed a fascination with the development of complex biological systems, and then transferred to Syracuse University where I completed my B.S. in biochemistry. I next attended the University of Michigan MD/PhD program, where I used in-vitro models of human neurodevelopment to study to role of epigenetic marks in guiding neurogenesis. While at Michigan, I became interested in the prospect of harnessing in-vitro differentiation to cultivate functional tissues that can be transplanted to replace what is lost in degenerative conditions. Ophthalmology, with its microsurgical access to functionally critical cell layers, is well-positioned to capitalize on this emerging field of science to treat degenerative conditions. I am humbled and incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to pursue this aim as a SOAR resident at Stanford.

Fellow in Rad/Musculoskeletal ImagingBioDr. Lilyane Saleh is a Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellow at Stanford University. She completed her Diagnostic Radiology residency at the University of Toronto, where she received comprehensive training across major academic hospitals and gained experience in a broad range of subspecialties.
Originally trained as a physician in Lebanon, Dr. Saleh later earned her Canadian MD from Université de Montréal. She was one of only a handful of international medical students selected to enter the Quebec medical system through an extremely competitive pathway. Her diverse training and background have shaped a thoughtful approach to patient care and collaboration.
During residency, Dr. Saleh held several leadership roles including Co-Chair of the Social and Wellness Committee, and RSNA Resident Representative. She was recognized with multiple honors such as the Citizenship Award (2025) for her professionalism and community impact, the PGY-1 Clinical Performance Award, and the Social Committee Chair Award.
