Keri Brenner
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioKeri O. Brenner, MD, MPA, FAAHPM is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and is board-certified in both psychiatry and hospice and palliative medicine. She earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, where she subsequently served on the Board of Trustees (2005 to 2008). She received her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine, where she earned the Keese Prize for her honors thesis on the phenomenology of suffering in illness.

She subsequently completed her adult psychiatry residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean Hospital, followed by fellowship training in hospice and palliative medicine at Harvard.
Dr. Brenner is a nationally recognized leader in “PalliPsych” education initiatives that integrate psychiatric, psychological, and psychotherapeutic principles into serious illness care. Her scholarship explores how psychological formulation and concepts drawn from psychotherapy can deepen serious illness communication and therapeutic presence. She has authored an extensive body of peer-reviewed scholarship and is co-editor of a 10-article special series in the Journal of Palliative Medicine on psychotherapeutically informed serious illness communication. She has delivered hundreds of grand rounds, invited presentations, keynote addresses, and intensive workshops at leading institutions and professional conferences nationally and internationally.
Dr. Brenner serves as Chair of the Stanford Jonathan King Lectureship Committee; Founder and Chair of the AAHPM Bogetz Lectureship Advisory Group; Director of Stanford’s Clinician Educator Scholars Program (PCPH Division); and a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Hippocratic Society.

Cort Breuer
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2022
BioCort Breuer is currently an Immunology PhD student in the lab of Nathan Reticker-Flynn. Cort received his BS in Biological Engineering from Cornell University in 2022, where he studied lymphatic-cancer interactions and T cell mechanosensing in the lab of Esak Lee. Previously, he worked with James Moon at Massachusetts General Hospital to develop in vivo gene therapies for the immune system and with Michelle Krogsgaard at NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center to investigate structural biology of TCR signaling. Cort’s current work focuses on mechanisms of tumor-immune tolerance and decoding the antigen specificity of T cell receptors. Drawing on his engineering background, he designs new molecular tools to record how immune cells communicate and constructs therapeutics to target impaired immune responses.

Pauline Brochet
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioPauline Brochet is a French scientist from Souraide, France. She completed her undergraduate studies in Molecular, Cellular and Physiological Biology (BSc, Université Clermont-Auvergne) and earned a Master's degree in Software Development and Data Analysis (MSc, Aix-Marseille Université). Pauline pursued a PhD at TAGC (Theories and Approaches for Genomic Complexity) in Marseille, France.
Under the supervision of Dr. Christophe Chevillard and Dr. Lionel Spinelli, Pauline integrated multi-omics data from human heart tissue to investigate the pathogenic processes associated with Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy (CCC). Notably, she contributed to the development of ChagasDB, the first database associating key features with the different stages of Chagas disease. Her research identified the involvement of mitochondrial DNA mutations, non-coding RNA, transcription factors, and DNA methylation in various pathogenic processes, all leading to the progression of CCC.
Currently, at Stanford University, under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Wheeler and Dr. Daniel Katz, Pauline is conducting postdoctoral research on multi-omics data analysis as part of the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC). Her work focuses on identifying key covariable features associated with physical exercise, with the ultimate goal of discovering exercise-mimetic drugs that could help prevent heart diseases. -

Helen Bronte-Stewart, MD, MS
John E. Cahill Family Professor, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus is human motor control and brain pathophysiology in movement disorders. Our overall goal is to understand the role of the basal ganglia electrical activity in the pathogenesis of movement disorders. We have developed novel computerized technology to measure fine, limb and postural movement. With these we are measuring local field potentials in basal ganglia nuclei in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonian and correlating brain signalling with motor behavior.
