Mustafa Caglar Sahin
Visiting Instructor, Neurosurgery
BioMustafa Caglar Sahin, MD is a neurosurgeon and research scholar at Stanford University with a primary focus on neuro-oncology and stereotactic radiosurgery. He completed his medical education at Erciyes University and his neurosurgical residency at Gazi University. Following his residency training, he has worked as a board-certified neurosurgeon, gaining independent clinical experience in the management of intracranial tumors and complex cranial pathologies.
Dr. Sahin’s clinical practice includes the treatment of meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, pituitary adenomas, gliomas, and other intracranial tumors. He has experience in microsurgical tumor resection, multimodal treatment planning, and stereotactic radiosurgery applications. His work also involves outcome evaluation and longitudinal patient follow-up in neuro-oncology.
In parallel with his clinical career, Dr. Sahin has developed an active research portfolio integrating clinical neurosurgery with molecular tumor biology and computational approaches. A central focus of his research has been telomere biology and long non-coding RNA regulation in meningiomas, particularly investigating the role of TERRA expression and telomere dynamics as potential biomarkers for tumor monitoring and prognosis. His work in this field has been recognized with the Best Young Meningioma Researcher Award.
He has also contributed to research exploring artificial intelligence applications in neurosurgery, including studies evaluating large language models in neurosurgical education and comparative analyses of AI systems in brain MRI interpretation. Through his academic work, he aims to contribute to the development of data-informed, evidence-based strategies for improving clinical decision-making in patients with intracranial tumors.
Dr. Sahin is a member of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, the European Skull Base Society, and the Turkish Neurosurgical Association. His long-term vision is to bridge surgical precision with computational intelligence and translational tumor biology to improve evidence-based decision-making in neuro-oncology. -

Neetu Saini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioMy research interests focus on translational human T-cell immunology, with an emphasis on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their therapeutic potential in restoring immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis. I am particularly interested in engineering FOXP3-programmed CD4⁺ T cells as a stable and functional alternative to conventional Tregs, especially in inflammatory settings where endogenous Tregs may be unstable or dysfunctional. My work integrates gene-editing approaches, immunophenotyping, and human organoid systems to study how these engineered cells interact with epithelial and stem cell compartments, with a focus on mechanisms of tissue repair and immune–epithelial crosstalk in barrier tissues such as the intestine. Moving forward, I aim to advance next-generation cell therapies by combining insights from T-cell biology, tissue biology, and disease modeling to develop durable and clinically relevant strategies for treating immune-mediated and epithelial barrier disorders.

Sarada Sakamuri, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Adult Neurology
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), NeurosurgeryBioDr. Sarada Sakamuri is a neurologist, neurophysiologist, and sonographer who specializes in the care of patients with nerve injuries and other neuromuscular disorders. As Co-Director of the Center for Peripheral Nerve Surgery, she oversees coordinated care in conjunction with the Neurology Clinic, Neurodiagnostic Lab, and Neurosurgery Clinic. She serves on multiple interdisciplinary teams focused on the care of patients with nerve conditions, including the Stanford Nerve Team, Stanford Facial Nerve Center, Stanford Women's Neurology Program, and Stanford Periprocedural Nerve Symptom Pathway.
She is an expert in the use of nerve and muscle ultrasound to diagnose and manage neuromuscular conditions. She performs advanced diagnostic evaluations of peripheral nerve conditions, integrating nerve and muscle ultrasound and neurophysiologic EMG/NCS testing at the bedside. She has advanced training in nerve and muscle ultrasound has served on the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM)'s Neuromuscular Ultrasound Committee and Neuromuscular Ultrasound Exam Committee.
She also plays an active role in graduate medical education. She serves as the Program Director of the Stanford Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship and Associate Director of the Clinical Neurophysiology/EMG Fellowship, with a total of five ACGME-accredited positions. She supervised residents in the weekly neurology resident continuity clinic for many years. She been awarded numerous teaching awards, including the Lysia S. Forno Award for outstanding contributions to resident teaching, and the American Academy of Neurology's A.B. Baker Teacher Recognition Award.
Dr. Sakamuri completed her undergraduate studies at Rutgers University, where she earned a degree in psychology with Phi Beta Kappa distinction. She completed medical school at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ, where she led multiple community service and medical education activities and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Societies. She moved to the Bay Area to pursue neurology residency at Stanford and served as Chief Resident in her final year of training. She then completed two years of fellowship at Stanford and the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research Center in EMG/Clinical Neurophysiology and Neuromuscular Medicine.
