Surgical Oncology Fellow
Dana-Farber/Mass Gen Brigham
Raja Narayan, MD MPH is a 2nd year Surgical Oncology Fellow at Dana-Farber/Mass General Brigham. 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 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. His clinical interests include pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and gastric cancer leveraging minimally invasive platforms. Additionally, Dr. Narayan completed an International Fellowship in minimally invasive GI and Pancreas Surgery at Seoul National University Hospital under Drs. Han-Kwang Yang and Jin-Young Jang. For his fellowship research time, Dr. Narayan joined the Aguirre/Wolpin Lab where he is investigating 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.
