Muneeb A. Faiq
Basic Life Research Scientist, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioDr. Muneeb A. Faiq is a behavioral and metabolic neuroscientist and ophthalmology researcher whose work spans molecular biology, neuroimaging, and systems neuroscience. He has made several foundational contributions, including the first functional cloning of CYP1B1 in congenital glaucoma, implicating retinoic-acid signaling in Zika virus–associated microcephaly, identifying central insulin resistance as a mechanistic basis for glaucoma, and providing the first in vivo evidence for a glymphatic pathway in the optic nerve. With more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and over 4,000 citations, Dr. Faiq has earned international recognition, including the Emerging Vision Scientist Award – 2019 from the Alliance for Eye and Vision Research. He is widely regarded as the pioneer and principal architect of the discipline of psychosomatic ophthalmology, a field he helped conceptualize and establish, leading to the integration of ophthalmic clinical practice with mindfulness-based and psychosomatic medicine frameworks. Dr. Faiq is currently advancing the concept of neurometabolic syntax in vision and brain function — a unifying systems-level framework that integrates genetics, metabolism, and behavior to reconceptualize ophthalmic and neurological diseases through a mechanistic and interdisciplinary lens. He has been selected for the prestigious Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) Achievement Award 2026.

Robert Michael Fairchild
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Fairchild’s research focuses on musculoskeletal and organ-based ultrasound in rheumatic disease, including arthritis, calcinosis, vascular pathology, and interstitial lung disease. He develops ultrasound-based outcome measures and leads projects applying deep learning and explainable AI to imaging. He also performs ultrasound-guided synovial biopsies to support translational and clinical research.

Jess Fairlie
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2026
BioJess Fairlie is a PhD student in the Baker lab, studying cross-shore sediment transport under infragravity waves. Jess completed her BS in Environmental Systems Engineering in 2024, and her MS in Environmental Engineering in 2025, both at Stanford University. Beyond her academic passion for waves, Jess loves everything related to the ocean, from surfing to tidepooling to SCUBA diving. In her free time she can be found enjoying the waves, rock climbing, and knitting.

Neda Fakhimi
Affiliate, Central Mgmt-Misc AR
BioNeda is an interdisciplinary scientist working at the intersection of bioscience and chemical engineering, with a deep fascination for the function and potential of microbes. Her research focuses on photosynthetic green microalgae, which she finds both visually captivating under the microscope and remarkably capable in their physiological roles. As a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Arthur Grossman's lab at Carnegie Institution for Science, she investigates the physiological and biochemical functions of NAD kinase isoforms and their roles in regulating central carbon metabolism in photosynthetic systems. Ultimately, she aims to integrate these molecular insights to enable sustainable bioproduction of high-value products, combined with carbon sequestration and waste resource recovery. She also collaborates with a multidisciplinary team of biologists and computer scientists to develop advanced machine learning models for predicting organelle targeting and dual localization of proteins in the green lineage, tools required for advancing fundamental research in this area.

Bita Fakhri, MD, MPH
Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioDr. Bita Fakhri is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She specializes in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), hairy cell leukemia, Richter’s syndrome, and other hematologic malignancies.
As a clinical scientist, Dr. Fakhri is dedicated to patient care, trainee education, and the development of novel therapies for individuals with CLL/SLL. She has co-authored numerous publications focusing on CLL, targeted therapies, and cellular therapies in hematologic malignancies.
Dr. Fakhri currently serves as Director of the CLL Clinical Trial Portfolio at Stanford. In addition, she is actively involved in building infrastructure to expand access to clinical trials and promote equity in care for underserved and marginalized populations across the Stanford catchment area.
