Craig V. Comiter
Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsUsing various animal models of bladder outlet obstruction as a representation of human prostatic disease, I am investigating how intervening with pharmacotherapy, neuromodulation, and other novel therapies may help to reverse the adverse changes in the bladder due to the obstruction.

Catie Connolly
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
Graduate Teaching Consultant, Digital Learning Strategy
Copyeditor, Hume Center
Grad Writing Tutor, Hume Center
Proofreader, Hume CenterBioAs a PhD candidate in Developmental and Psychological Sciences at Stanford, I study how early childhood experience, cultural background, and education shape children's social-emotional development. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and experimental tasks, to understand the development of core social-emotional skills like emotion regulation and executive functioning in ethnically-, culturally-, and socioeconomically-diverse child populations.
I am passionate about applying developmental science to inform educational policy and practice. My goal is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and practice in early childhood education by working with students, parents, and teachers to create evidence-based and culturally-responsive curricula and interventions that will improve students' social-emotional outcomes and well-being. -

Christos E. Constantinou
Associate Professor of Urology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main recent interest is the application of Biomedical Engineering approaches for the clinical visualization and characterization of the static and dynamic properties of pelvic floor function. This extends to ultrasound Imaging and image processing, construction of computer models and biomechanics analysis of pelvic floor function.

Christopher H. Contag
Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe develop and use the tools of molecular imaging to understand oncogenesis, reveal patterns of cell migration in immunosurveillance, monitor gene expression, visualize stem cell biology, and assess the distribution of pathogens in living animal models of human biology and disease. Biology doesn't occur in "a vacuum" or on coated plates--it occurs in the living body and that's were we look for biological patterns and responses to insult.
