Brandon Bergsneider
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Informatics & Data-Driven Medicine / Immunology, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioBrandon Hwa-Lin Bergsneider, from Los Angeles, CA, is pursuing an MD at Stanford School of Medicine. Brandon earned a bachelor of science in human biology from Stanford, and a MSc in bioinformatics and theoretical systems biology from Imperial College London. Brandon aspires to use data science-based technologies to advance health equity through early diagnosis, democratizing health information, and improving treatment efficacy. At Stanford and Imperial, he researched the molecular bases of neurodegeneration, the genetic susceptibility of neuroblastoma patients to SARS-CoV-2, computational protein structure prediction, and using machine learning to identify chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. Brandon has also worked at the National Institutes of Health, where he used computational network analysis to identify clinical and demographic determinants of brain tumor patient symptom burden. Brandon has multiple first-author publications and, outside of academics, enjoys volunteering as a surf-therapy instructor for military veterans. He is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, a Fulbright Scholar, and an NIH Cancer Research Training Award Fellow.

Isaac Alden Bernstein
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Clinical Research / Surgery, expected graduation Spring 2025
BioIsaac is a medical student at Stanford with interests in vision, big data, and artificial intelligence. He previously studied neuroscience and French at Johns Hopkins University, spending two additional years studying sinus inflammation and sensory loss using bioinformatic and epidemiological approaches.
At Stanford, Isaac harnesses big data and novel developments in artificial intelligence to address key questions in ophthalmology. His interests encompass the impact of social determinants on health outcomes, including the role of health care access and frailty in conditions like diabetic retinopathy and visual field loss. He also seeks to implement and understand innovative healthcare solutions, such as automated data abstraction using natural language processing, and assessing the effectiveness of advanced technologies like large language model chatbots in ophthalmic patient care. -
Brian Boitnott
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Physics, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am currently a PhD student in Biomedical Physics within the Department of Radiology. In the two years prior to Stanford, I was at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I worked on airborne laser radar systems and was on the core team developing a laser-ultrasound system for medical imaging.
My interests are at the intersection between emerging technology innovation, technology transfer and implementation, and long-term innovation strategy. -
Sam Bollinger
Ph.D. Student in Cancer Biology, admitted Autumn 2021
BioOriginally from State College, Pennsylvania, Sam graduated with honors from Penn State University with a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. He subsequently spent three years working at the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research for Dr. Ellen Heber-Katz. Sam hopes to expand the paradigm of cancer research and help to develop novel therapies for cancer and other ailments. He is also interested in optimization of physical and mental performance.

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.
