Jeffrey Bunker
Fellow in Medicine - Med/Infectious Diseases
Instructor, Medicine - Med/Infectious DiseasesBioI am a physician-scientist trained in immunology, microbiology, and infectious diseases. I completed an MD and PhD at the University of Chicago and residency in internal medicine at Stanford University, where I am currently a clinical fellow in infectious diseases and postdoctoral researcher.
My research focuses on adaptive immune responses to microbiota, diet, and pathogens at mucosal surfaces. Dysregulation of these responses is thought to underlie inflammatory bowel diseases, food allergies, celiac disease, and certain infections. My work applies a “specificity-first” approach: by developing tools to resolve lymphocyte antigen receptor specificity at scale, we are interrogating fundamental mechanisms of mucosal tolerance, immunity, and disease, uncovering how specific antigens drive cell fate and function.
I am an active clinician specializing in the diagnosis and management of complex infectious diseases, including antimicrobial-resistant infections and HIV. -

BioGabrielle Bunney, MD, MBA, MS is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University. She has a passion for using artificial intelligence (AI) models to support emergency medicine care delivery and efficiency. She has worked on projects spanning the whole life cycle in AI for clinical use, from model design and building, to model optimization, and finally the technical and clinical translation of AI for use in patient care. Her current research is focused on designing a model to select patients efficiently and equitably for an early electrocardiogram to detect myocardial infarction.
She received her Master’s degree from Stanford University’s Department of Biomedical Data Science, where she gained data science the technical experience to apply to her clinical knowledge. Additionally, she holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management with a focus in finance and is working with groups at Stanford that are bridging the gap between academic medicine and industry. She is a part of the Stanford Emergency Medicine Partnership Program (STEPP) aimed at building collaborations between the emergency department and companies focused on patient care solutions. The combination of a business background and research skills allow her to focus on the implementation of AI technologies into practice. She is continuing working on AI in healthcare with the philosophy that at the heart of innovation there must be a confluence of the strategic vision of the healthcare organization, economic viability, and practical operationalization. -
