Benjamin Good
Assistant Professor of Applied Physics and, by courtesy, of Biology
BioBenjamin Good is a theoretical biophysicist with a background in experimental evolution and population genetics. He is interested in the short-term evolutionary dynamics that emerge in rapidly evolving microbial populations like the gut microbiome. Technological advances are revolutionizing our ability to peer into these evolving ecosystems, providing us with an increasingly detailed catalog of their component species, genes, and pathways. Yet a vast gap still remains in understanding the population-level processes that control their emergent structure and function. Our group uses tools from statistical physics, population genetics, and computational biology to understand how microscopic growth processes and genome dynamics at the single cell level give rise to the collective behaviors that can be observed at the population level. Projects range from basic theoretical investigations of non-equilibrium processes in microbial evolution and ecology, to the development of new computational tools for measuring these processes in situ in both natural and experimental microbial communities. Through these specific examples, we seek to uncover unifying theoretical principles that could help us understand, forecast, and eventually control the ecological and evolutionary dynamics that take place in these diverse scenarios.

Zinaida Good, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory integrates cutting-edge synthetic biology, immunology, and machine learning to engineer T cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. We have 3 research areas:
- Analysis of clinical single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets from T cell therapy trials to identify mechanisms of resistance
- Building AI systems to generate T cell designs predicted to improve patient outcomes
- Genetic screens of novel T cell designs in models that mimic key mechanisms of resistance -
Laura Goode
Academic Prog Prof 1, H&S Dean's Office
BioI write about feminism, intersectionality, female friendship, motherhood, matrescence, gender, race, and culture in TV, film, and literature; I'm especially interested in the contemporary feminist first-person essay, the female gaze in image-making, and performances of gender in "prestige" television. I also write and teach on the craft of pitching for writers, how gendered and racinated modes of confidence inform pitching and publishing behaviors, and how emergent writers can build their own paths to publication.
My first book was a young adult novel, SISTER MISCHIEF (Candlewick Press, 2011), which follows an all-girl hip-hop crew in suburban Minnesota; The American Library Association included SM in two annual honor lists, the Amelia Bloomer Project, recognizing excellence in feminist YA literature, and the Rainbow List (Top Ten selection), recognizing excellence in GLBTQ YA. I'm also the author of a collection of poems, BECOME A NAME (Fathom Books, 2016), and with the director Meera Menon, I co-wrote and produced the feature film FARAH GOES BANG, which premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival and won the inaugural Nora Ephron Prize from Tribeca and Vogue. My nonfiction work has appeared in publications including BuzzFeed Reader, ELLE, Los Angeles Review of Books, Catapult, Glamour, InStyle, Publishers Weekly, Longreads, The Cut, Refinery29, New Republic, and the anthology SCRATCH: Writers, Money, and The Art of Making a Living. I'm currently working on a novel that examines the long-term effects of sexual violence on relationships between women, a short memoir, and a collection of poems. My craft book on pitching and publishing, PITCH CRAFT: The Writer's Guide to Getting Agented, Published, and Paid, was published by Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in fall 2025.
At Stanford, I serve as a Lecturer in the English department and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program, and as the Associate Director for Student Programs for the Public Humanities Initiative. With Adrian Daub, I also co-host the Clayman Institute for Gender Research's podcast The Feminist Present. -
Alex J Goodell
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioAnesthesiologist and internist interested in artificial intelligence and large language models in medicine. Currently, my primary focus is on developing and evaluating applications of large language models to improve the "user experience" of patients (who spend too much time fighting the system that is tasked with healing them) and doctors (who spend too much time fighting the system that is supposed to help them heal others).
Interests:
- Benchmarking LLMs as clinical calculators
- Medical summarization by LLMs
- Agentic /tool-using language models
- GenerativeAI for Medical Education and Simulation
- Data equity in LLMs
- Novel benchmarks for clinical LLMs, including simulation
- Participatory research, open-source software
I'm a Clinical Scholar in the Dept of Anesthesiology and a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Anesthesiology / Biomedical Data Science in the lab of Nima Aghaeepour.
I completed medical school at the UC Berkeley - UCSF Joint Medical Program, followed by the Combined Internal Medicine/Anesthesiology Residency at the Stanford School of Medicine, and a fellowship in Anesthesia Informatics at the Stanford AIM Lab.
