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 board-certified emergency physician and researcher at Stanford, where I bridge clinical practice with health innovation. In addition to being faculty in the Department of Emergency Medicine, I hold affiliations with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI), the Center for AI in Medicine & Imaging (AIMI), and the Center for Digital Health (CDH).
My work leverages data-informed precision medicine with the goal of transforming healthcare delivery—especially for transmissible infectious diseases. As an NIH funded investigator, I lead a research group that designs solutions to improve patient outcomes and inform policy. I bring extensive experience from training at Duke, Harvard, and Stanford, and a proven track record of leadership from serving on the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Board of Directors, the SAEM Foundation Board of Trustees.
I am passionate about collaboration to pioneer digital health strategies that revolutionize care and drive tangible impact.
