Caitlin Brust
COLLEGE Lecturer, Civic, Liberal, and Global Education
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCaitlin studies educational justice both philosophically and empirically, exploring what constitutes (un)just epistemic environments in U.S. higher education and how educators, students, and institutions themselves can resist various forms of epistemic injustice within these environments. Her interdisciplinary research draws from feminist and social epistemology, liberal and democratic education, and ethical and political theory; she also uses qualitative methods to explore how college students and educators identify as knowers and navigate relations of knowledge, identity, and power in the liberal arts seminar classroom. Alongside arguments about formal teaching and learning practices, she studies the essential role of academic mentorship in undergraduate and graduate student life.

Douglas L. Brutlag
Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy primary interest is to understand the flow of information from the genome to the phenotype of an organism. This interest includes predicting the structure and function of genes and proteins from their primary sequence, predicting function from structure simulating protein folding and ligand docking, and predicitng disease from genome variations. These goals are the same as the goals of molecular biology, however, we use primarily computational approaches.

Zev Bryant
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMolecular motors lie at the heart of biological processes from DNA replication to vesicle transport. My laboratory seeks to understand the physical mechanisms by which these nanoscale machines convert chemical energy into mechanical work.

Rafael Y. Brzezinski
Affiliate, Surgery - Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Surgery - Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBioRafael Y. Brzezinski, MD, PhD, is a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar in the laboratory of Drs. Michael Longaker and Derrick Wan in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University. He is a physician-scientist, plastic and reconstructive surgery resident at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University. He completed the MD–PhD program at Tel Aviv University, where his doctoral research focused on regenerative medicine, extracellular vesicles, and cardiovascular inflammation and tissue repair.
His research investigates the biological mechanisms underlying fibrosis, inflammation, and tissue regeneration, with an emphasis on translating scientific discoveries into clinically relevant therapies. His current work focuses on the foreign-body response and capsular contracture, adipose-derived extracellular vesicles, radiation-induced soft-tissue injury, and innovative imaging approaches in reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Brzezinski has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications and has received several competitive research grants supporting investigations into personalized approaches to preventing and treating fibrosis. His work has also received recognition, including the prestigious Kahn Foundation Orion Scholarship for outstanding physician-scientists.
At Stanford, Dr. Brzezinski collaborates with faculty to advance translational research at the intersection of regenerative medicine, bioengineering, and reconstructive surgery. His long-term goal is to develop personalized strategies to prevent fibrosis and improve tissue healing and functional recovery.
