Marc Fagel
Lecturer
BioMarc Fagel spent nearly 30 years as a Bay Area securities litigator with a focus on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement. After six years as an associate at Morrison & Foerster, Marc joined the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office as an enforcement staff attorney, investigating matters including insider trading, public company financial fraud, and misconduct by investment professionals. Marc later became the office’s Head of Enforcement and, from 2008-2013, served as Regional Director, overseeing the SEC’s enforcement and inspection programs throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest and managing the office’s staff of over 100 professionals.
After nearly 16 years with the SEC, Marc joined Gibson Dunn as a partner in the firm’s San Francisco and Palo Alto Offices, where he served as Co-Chair of the firm’s national Securities Enforcement practice group. Marc’s practice focused on representing public companies and their officers and directors, as well as financial institutions and investment managers, in investigations by the SEC, the Department of Justice, and other state and federal regulatory authorities.
In 2019, Marc retired from the full-time practice of law, and has since dedicated himself to writing and volunteer activities. Marc is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the Board of Advisors of VoteRiders, a non-partisan organization dedicated to helping voters secure ID required by increasingly draconian voter ID requirements. He volunteers with local food banks, and has served as an election monitor for recent state and national elections.
Marc received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and graduated with honors from the University of Chicago Law School. -
Gracia Fahed, MD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDr. Fahed earned her medical degree from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon. She graduated at the top of her class and was recognized for her outstanding academic achievements and compassionate patient care.

Ryann Fame
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsEarly neural progenitors respond to extrinsic cues that maintain and support their potency. These stem/ progenitor cells are in direct contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as part of their niche. Our research program encompasses the early neural stem cell niche, neural tube closure, CSF, metabolism, and cortical neuronal development. We are dedicated to broad collaboration focused on translating an understanding of neurodevelopment and CSF biology into regenerative strategies.

Weiguo Fan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
BioMy research focuses on liver diseases. I got my Ph.D. degree in virology and immune response at Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The two main projects during my Ph.D. program are: 1) explore the relationship between the immune response in Hepatitis C virus infection and Interferon treatment; and 2) investigate the function of ECM1 in liver fibrosis. As a postdoc in Stanford, I will try to integrate basic and translational liver research and focus on: 1) investigate molecular functions of liver immune cells in liver disease; 2) explore key factors determining the change of liver microenvironment that cause liver diseases; 3) use new techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, RNAseq or signal cell sequencing, to explore key factors affecting liver disease and treatment in patients.
