Ahmad Al-Moujahed, MD, PhD, MPH
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology (Research/Clinical Trials)
BioDr. Ahmad Al-Moujahed is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist with Stanford Health Care. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Al-Moujahed specializes in caring for retinal and macular diseases, as well as inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs), a group of genetic diseases that cause vision loss. He also specializes in vitreoretinal surgery to treat a range of diseases that affect vision. He is one of the only ophthalmologists in the nation with dedicated vitreoretinal surgery and IRD training and expertise. He is committed to providing compassionate care that improves eye health, vision, and quality of life.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. Al-Moujahed’s research focuses on investigating the origins of IRDs and developing novel treatments for these conditions. He is also involved in clinical trials exploring innovative experimental treatments for IRDs.
He is also deeply interested in the intersection of ophthalmology, public health, and global health. He has contributed to the development of educational programs for medical students and vision care initiatives in Syria and Lebanon, with the goal of expanding access to eye care in underserved communities.
Dr. Al-Moujahed has published his research in peer-reviewed journals, including Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Experimental Eye Research, Stem Cell Research, Scientific Reports, and American Journal of Ophthalmology. He has also published in Ophthalmology Retina; British Journal of Ophthalmology; European Journal of Ophthalmology; Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina; and the International Journal of Retina and Vitreous.
He has also presented at several national conferences, including meetings of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, American Society of Retina Specialists, American Academy of Ophthalmology, and Retina Society.
Dr. Al-Moujahed is a member of the American Society of Retina Specialists, American Academy of Ophthalmology, and Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. He is also a member of the Syrian American Medical Society and serves on its Education and Ophthalmology Committee. -

Israt Alam
Senior Research Scientist-Basic Life, Rad/Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioResearch Focus and interests: Molecular Imaging, Clinical Translation, Graft versus Host Disease, Spatial Biology, Immune-Theragnostics
Dr. Israt Alam is a Senior Scientist in the Radiology Department at Stanford University. She trained in Prof. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir's lab and transitioned to Dr. Michelle James' lab in 2021. Her research focuses on studying lymphocyte activation and developing non-invasive imaging tools, to monitor immune dynamics in response to cancer immunotherapy and in immunopathology. Her work has supported the clinical translation of several nuclear imaging agents (small molecules and a biologic) for early detection of cancer and prediction of treatment response, that are being evaluated in oncology trials around the world. She is currently leading the IND-enabling studies for a first in class PET tracer for T cell activation and has supported several biomarker detection platforms for early disease detection. She serves as Co-Chair of the "Imaging in cell and immune therapies" (ICIT) interest group for the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS).
