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. -
Yousuf Khan
Instructor, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioI am a PhD student in Stanford Biosciences, department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. I am broadly interested in basic molecular processes that occur in the cell and aim to delineate these mechanisms using biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics and biophysics. I am also available as a consultant for bio-tech ventures.

Rajnish Khanna, Ph.D.
Senior Investigator, Central Mgmt-Misc AR
BioRajnish Khanna, M.Sc. Ph.D., is a photobiologist and entrepreneur focused on nutrition, health, and sustainable practices. He is a Senior Investigator at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University, the founder and CEO of the agricultural technology company, i-Cultiver, Inc., and co-founder and Executive Director of “Urban Green Project”. He holds positions as adjunct faculty in biology at the Contra Costa Community College. Khanna leads research and development in agriculture, focusing on product efficacy trials and sustainable growing practices. Khanna's work emphasizes bridging the gap between academic agricultural research and its practical application for farmers, focusing on technologies and data to improve global agro-ecology projects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Plant Molecular Biology) from Purdue University. Khanna applies photobiology to explore the science of consciousness. He has developed a unique and testable “Theory of Spatial Relativity” exploring the origins of consciousness. He is the host of the TerreScience podcast/YouTube channel, which focuses on soil and planetary health, and on the science of consciousness. For a full bio, visit (www.rajnishkhanna.com).
Khanna collaborates with Dr. Ulrich Kutschera, both are former members of the Winslow Briggs-Lab at Stanford University, see "Stanford Profile Winslow R. Briggs" (https://profiles.stanford.edu/winslow-briggs?tab=publications). Khanna and Kutschera continue research on "Evolutionary Plant Physiology & Photomorphogenesis" via the publication of peer-reviewed papers inspired by and dedicated to the memory of their former mentor, see "In memory of Winslow R. Briggs" (http://www.evolutionsbiologen.de/winslow-r-briggs.html"). -
Makrand Khanwale
Physical Science Research Scientist
BioI received my PhD from Iowa State University co-majoring in Mechanical engineering and Applied Mathematics. I was co-advised by Dr. Baskar Ganapathysubramanian and Dr. James Rossmanith. For my dissertation I worked on development and analysis of numerical schemes for high fidelity simulations of multiphase flows. Specifically I developed energy stable numerical methods to simulate two-phase flows using Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations. I also have experience in development of tools to analyse and understand complex physical processes like multi-phase flows and turbulence. Before joining Iowa State for my graduate work, I had a brief stint as a research associate in Dr. Krishnaswamy Nandakumar‘s group in Louisiana State University (LSU). At LSU I worked on developing theoretical models for energy cascades in multi-phase flows.

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.
