Catherine Benedict, PhD
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Medical Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on improving cancer survivorship through better understanding of long-term health outcomes and through the development of theoretically driven, evidence-based behavioral interventions to improve adjustment, risk management, and quality of life. To this end, I lead studies aimed to guide and support patient decision-making and self-management after cancer. Much of my work focuses on the experiences of young adults affected by cancer.

Jade Benjamin-Chung
Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research aims to improve population health by creating high quality evidence about what health interventions work in whom and where, when, and how to implement them. Most of our research is focused on environmentally-mediated infectious diseases, including malaria, diarrhea, soil-transmitted helminths, and influenza. Our focus is on improving the health of vulnerable populations from low-resource settings, both domestically and internationally. We use a variety of epidemiologic, computational, and statistical methods, including causal inference and machine learning methods.

Nesrine Benkafadar
Instructor, Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery)
BioDr. Nesrine Benkafadar obtained her Pharm.D from the University of Constantine in Algeria. She then joined the Institute for Neurosciences of Montpellier in France, where she completed a master’s degree in Industrial Pharmacy and obtained her Ph.D in Biology and Health. She mainly worked on establishing a functional interaction between oxidative stress, DNA damage and cochlear cell aging. From there, she conducted postdoctoral research in Dr. Stefan Heller’s lab at Stanford University. Her current research is focused on studying the early regenerative triggers in damaged avian cochlea with the overarching goal to characterize the series of events that trigger and execute cochlear hair cell regeneration. Her ultimate goal is to investigate key trigger genes to induce adult mammalian supporting cells in damaged cochlea to reenter the cell cycle toward hair cell regeneration.

Christopher Bennett
Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine (Adult Clinical/Academic)
BioI am a clinically active emergency physician and faculty scientist in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University. I am also a faculty affiliate with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI), and the Center for Digital Health (CDH).
As an NIH-funded principal investigator, my research group focuses on understanding and improving the quality of care Americans receive in our nation’s emergency departments, namely as it relates to transmissible infectious diseases. I have particular interests in how policy can inform precision medicine and in developing innovations to optimize healthcare delivery.
As a recognized leader in the healthcare, I’ve served on the Boards of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) and the SAEM Foundation, and on the Massachusetts Medical Society's Committee on Publications, which oversees the New England Journal of Medicine. -
Rachel Bensen
Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on improving health care delivery systems for children, adolescents and young adults with chronic illness and their families. I have particular interests in the development of chronic disease self-management skills, assessment of patient reported outcomes, the transition from pediatric to adult-oriented health care, and comprehensive programs to support families caring for a child with chronic illness.
