Julia D. Ransohoff
Instructor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Ransohoff received her B.A. from Harvard College in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology and completed her medical training at Stanford University, where she received her M.D., completed residency in internal medicine, and fellowship training in hematology and oncology as part of the American Board of Internal Medicine Physician Scientist Training Program.
Dr. Ransohoff is a physician-scientist dedicated to improving breast cancer treatments and outcomes through developing genomic methods to profile how tumors respond to treatment. Her research focuses on molecular approaches to understand the variable clinical responses of breast cancers to treatment at the genomic level by profiling molecular residual disease. Her current work involves exploring mechanisms of chemoresistance and immune evasion and identifying novel therapeutic targets. In related work, she also studies epidemiological risk factors for breast cancer mortality with a focus on the gut microbiome, oncofertility, and racial and ethnic differences in treatment response. Dr. Ransohoff's research has been supported by the ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation, the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation, the Stanford Cancer Institute, ECOG-ACRIN, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
As an Instructor in the Division of Medical Oncology, Dr. Ransohoff is also a clinically active oncologist, treating patients with breast cancer. -

As a radiation oncologist, Dr. Rao treats chest (thoracic) and head and neck cancers. He specializes in using proton therapy, a type of high-energy radiation therapy that precisely targets cancer cells while sparing surrounding tissue. The proton therapies he uses include 3D conformal radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy. He also uses brachytherapy, which treats cancer by placing radiation sources inside or very close to a tumor.
Dr. Rao’s research interests include the use of proton therapy in treating various cancers. He has also studied the role of machine learning and advanced imaging techniques to improve radiation treatments. In addition, Dr. Rao has investigated ways to integrate immunotherapy into radiation treatment regimens.

Vaughn Rasberry
Associate Professor of English and of African and African American Studies
BioVaughn Rasberry studies African American literature, global Cold War culture, the European Enlightenment and its critics, postcolonial theory, and philosophical theories of modernity. As a Fulbright scholar in 2008-09, he taught in the American Studies department at the Humboldt University Berlin and lectured on African American literature throughout Germany. His current book project, Race and the Totalitarian Century, questions the notion that desegregation prompted African American writers and activists to acquiesce in the normative claims of postwar liberalism. Challenging accounts that portray black cultural workers in various postures of reaction to larger forces--namely U.S. liberalism or Soviet communism--his project argues instead that many writers were involved in a complex national and global dialogue with totalitarianism, the defining geopolitical discourse of the twentieth century.
His article, "'Now Describing You': James Baldwin and Cold War Liberalism," appears in an edited volume titled James Baldwin: America and Beyond (University of Michigan Press, 2011). A review essay, "Black Cultural Politics at the End of History," appears in the winter 2012 issue of American Literary History. An article, "Invoking Totalitarianism: Liberal Democracy versus the Global Jihad in Boualem Sansal's The German Mujahid," appears in the spring 2014 special issue of Novel: a Forum on Fiction. For Black History Month, he published an op-ed essay, "The Shape of African American Geopolitics," in Al Jazeera English.
An Annenberg Faculty Fellow at Stanford (2012-14), he has also received fellowships from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Humanities Center at the University of Pittsburgh.
Vaughn also teaches in collaboration with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) and the programs in Modern Thought and Literature, African and African American Studies, and American Studies. -
