Saad A. Khan, MD
Associate Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Khan is a fellowship-trained cancer specialist with board certification in oncology and hematology. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Oncology.
Dr. Khan focuses on the treatment of head and neck cancers, advanced thyroid cancers, and neuroendocrine tumors. He recognizes the broad effects of these conditions on daily living and aims to develop personalized, comprehensive treatment plans that optimize health and quality of life.
Dr. Khan’s research interests include therapeutic clinical trials as well as ways to reduce toxicities that some patients may experience when receiving cancer treatment. His research activities include ongoing clinical trials of targeted and immune therapy for aggressive thyroid cancer.
He has published numerous articles on his research discoveries in peer-reviewed journals such as the JAMA Oncology, Investigational New Drugs, and others. Topics include new drug treatments for small cell lung cancer and for cancers of the head and neck, racial and gender disparities in certain types of cancer, and management of the potentially toxic effects of cancer therapies.
Dr. Khan is a member of the NRG Head and Neck Committee. NRG brings together internationally recognized groups (the first words in their names form the acronym “NRG”) to conduct cancer clinical research and share study results. The objective is to inform clinical decision making and healthcare policy worldwide.
Dr. Khan is a member of the ECOG Head and Neck Core and Thoracic Committees. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) is part of one of the five groups of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) Program.
He also is a member of the National Cancer Institute’s Central IRB for Early Phase Clinical Trials.
When not providing patient care or conducting research, Dr. Khan enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, and relaxing at the beach. -

Rajnish Khanna, Ph.D.
Visiting Scientist, Biology
BioRajnish Khanna, M.Sc., Ph.D., is a plant molecular biologist and photobiologist whose research spans plant signaling, photomorphogenesis, plant-microbe interactions, crop biology, and translational plant science. He is a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Biology at Stanford University.
Khanna received his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Plant Molecular Biology) from Purdue University. His research career has included work at the University of California, Berkeley; Mendel Biotechnology; and the Carnegie Institution for Science, where he was a Carnegie Fellow and later Senior Investigator. His research has examined light-regulated plant development, phytochrome signaling, crop productivity, plant-microbe interactions, and the translation of fundamental plant biology to agricultural applications.
Khanna is also Founder and CEO of i-Cultiver, Inc., an agricultural research company that connects fundamental plant science with product development and applied agricultural research. He teaches biology and biotechnology as adjunct faculty at Contra Costa College and is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Urban Green Project, a nonprofit focused on science education, sustainable food systems, and community engagement.
His broader scientific interests include the biological foundations of perception and consciousness and the application of photobiology to questions about how living systems perceive and respond to their environment. He is also the host of TerreScience, a science conversation series exploring biology, agriculture, health, consciousness, and the relationship between human and planetary health. -
Bayan Kharrat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr. Bayan Kharrat is a postdoctoral researcher in the Goins Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she studies the mechanisms governing fate commitment in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in Drosophila, with a focus on identifying key regulatory factors involved in this process.
Dr. Kharrat earned her Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Szeged and conducted her graduate research at the HUN-REN Biological Research Centre in Szeged, where she investigated the dual role of Headcase, an imaginal cell factor, in maintaining progenitor cells in the larval lymph gland. Her expertise spans Drosophila genetics, developmental biology, molecular biology, and confocal microscopy. -

Oussama Khatib
Weichai Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioRobotics research on novel control architectures, algorithms, sensing, and human-friendly designs for advanced capabilities in complex environments. With a focus on enabling robots to interact cooperatively and safely with humans and the physical world, these studies bring understanding of human movements for therapy, athletic training, and performance enhancement. Our work on understanding human cognitive task representation and physical skills is enabling transfer for increased robot autonomy. With these core capabilities, we are exploring applications in healthcare and wellness, industry and service, farms and smart cities, and dangerous and unreachable settings -- deep in oceans, mines, and space.

Aditi Khatpe
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioAs a Postdoctoral Fellow, I study breast cancer progression and invasion. My research leverages high-dimensional spatial technologies to map cellular architecture and uncover how tumor–stroma interactions influence disease progression. Ultimately, my goal is to translate these insights into strategies that improve diagnosis and treatment.
