Gita Chu Abhiraman
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2025
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioGita Abhiraman is an MD/PhD Candidate at Stanford. She completed her PhD research in Immunology advised by Dr. Christopher Garcia, where she studied cytokine signaling, immune receptor structure, and protein engineering. Gita completed her bachelor's degree in Physics, with a focus in Biophysics, at Harvard University. She previously studied tumor-immune dynamics and helped to engineer the bacterial enzyme sortase for live cell-tracking applications, under the mentorship of Dr. Stephanie Dougan at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

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.

Bryan James Cannon
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2017
BioBryan J. Cannon is a graduate student at Stanford University, pursuing a PhD in Computational & Systems Immunology, with research focused on studying the cellular and acellular composition of human neurodegeneration using hi-dimensional imaging and sequencing datasets. He has experience in computational immunology, including multiplex ion beam imaging technology, image segmentation, and multi-dimensional analysis pipelines, as well as expertise in R, Matlab, and Python programming languages. Prior to Stanford, he worked as a Project Associate at NASA Ames Research Center and a Research Assistant at the Autoimmune & Rheumatology Lab, Bone Research Lab, and Cardiac Surgery Lab. Additionally, he has been involved in advocacy work, including mentoring high school students in summer research, working on a project for diversity and inclusion in immunology, giving lectures for the EXPLORE Lecture Series, and mentoring first-generation and low-income students at Stanford.
