Raja Narayan
Surgical Oncology Fellow
Raja Narayan, MD MPH is a 2nd year Surgical Oncology Fellow at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute operating at the Brigham & Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. He completed his MD at the University of California Irvine, an MPH in Biostatistics from Yale, and his General Surgery Residency at Stanford where he co-founded the Surgical Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to define digital pathology features to guide liver transplant surgery decision-making. He also completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship with Dr. William Jarnagin and the Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering where he studied molecular markers of hepatobiliary tumor biology. In the Aguirre Lab, Dr. Narayan is co-mentored by Drs. Harshabad Singh and Andrew Aguirre to investigate clinical and molecular predictors of response and oncologic outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients. He is interested in leveraging these findings to define image-based phenotypes predictive of therapeutic response and resistance pathways for patients undergoing cytotoxic and targeted therapies.
Outside the lab, Dr. Narayan is a dedicated educator who previously worked for Khan Academy where he produced over 100 videos on physiology and anatomy that have been viewed over 20 million times around the world. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends to travel, play tennis, and listen to music. Contact: rrnarayan@mgb.org |
