Diana Anthony

Diana Anthony currently serves the Stanford University School of Medicine Neurosurgery Department as the Program Manager of the Neurosurgical Simulation and Virtual Reality Center. She supports the team by reconstructing patient-specific anatomy in 360 degrees/VR environments to help with patient education and engagement, surgical planning, and intraoperative guidance. The “Aha!” moment patients experience when they see their anatomy this way, and the unique beauty that comes from the creativity of designing the reconstruction of all the complexities of the human brain are her two favorite experiences of the job. Anthony also has experience managing the operations of a global non-profit, the Range of Motion Project, in Quito, Ecuador and has served her current, San Francisco community through being a public middle-school educator of science. Empowering people to live independently and empowering kids to study the world around them with a certain scientific curiosity are also passions of hers. In her free time, Anthony skis, climbs, backpacks, dives, runs, paints, and reads voraciously!
