Stanford Radiology’sNewest Pioneers2010-2015

IT IS SAID THAT A UNIVERSITY IS “ETERNALLY YOUNG”, a phenomenon that is the result of continuous refreshing with new students entering and graduating at all levels of education and training (undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral, resident, and fellow). I feel Stanford is also eternally young because of the continuous revitalization of its most critical resource, the faculty. Without the incorporation of new faculty into the Department, there is no revitalization and little promise for future development and expansion into new and different direc-tions. In this document, we present all faculty who have been recruited to Stanford Radiology over the period 2010-2015. As you will see, there is a great diversity of expertise and experience brought to Stanford University by the individuals selected.

I want to thank the many search committees for their tireless efforts that have helped to recruit to Stanford Radiology some of the best faculty in the world. It takes significant effort to implement all the steps of a thorough search including design-ing the search, outreach, interviewing faculty, making difficult decisions, convincing a given candidate to join the Department, and also completing the rigorous academic appointment admin-istrative process. These academic appointments would not be possible without the efforts of many existing faculty and the Advancement & Promotions staff who have worked very hard to bring all of these recruits to Stanford. I also want to thank the new recruits who made the decision to join the Stanford Department of Radiology. Many of our newest faculty had sev-eral choices for their next professional home, and I am thankful for their trust in Stanford University, the School of Medicine, and for choosing to become a member of the Stanford Radiology family.

A Radiology Department can only achieve its multiple mis-sions through the recruitment of great clinicians, educators, clinician-scientists, and basic scientists. We have recruited won-derfully talented individuals for each of these important catego-ries with newcomers from all over the world to truly represent our growing global society. We are indeed well positioned for greatly impacting the future of healthcare together.

Assistant Professor

Dr. Tanya Stoyanova joined the department in 2015 as an Assistant Professor within the Canary Center at

Stanford for Cancer Early Detection. Dr. Stoyanova received a BS in Ecology and Protection of the Environment

from the Technical University of Varna, Bulgaria (2002), and a BS in Genetics from the University of Kansas

(2003). She obtained her PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago (2009), where she investigated molecular

mechanisms underlying skin cancer development. As a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA, she studied the role of

the cell surface glycoprotein Trop2 and found that Trop2 is a key regulator of prostate stem cell self-renewal

activity and tumorigenesis and described a detailed mechanism of action through proteolytic cleavages.

Dr. Stoyanova has since extended her studies to other receptors activated through proteolytic cleavages

such as the Notch family of receptors. Dr. Stoyanova also investigates the molecular basis of prostate cancer

heterogeneity and has recently demonstrated a critical role of the eIF4E-driven translation control pathway in

prostate cancer propagating cells, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
