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.

Weston Miles Benner
Undergraduate, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
BioWeston Benner is a freshman from Houston, Texas passionate about exploring how the brain learns, feels, and processes information. Perpetually full of energy, Weston is usually multitasking with startlingly little efficiency. While he's not learning more about Russian literature or desperately trying to convince his friends that Limitless was the greatest one season TV show ever, chances are he's devouring rom-coms and probably staying up far too late reading.
