Corinne Beinat
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe focus of my research is to develop novel imaging and treatment strategies to detect and better manage cancer. This approach relies first on the identification and validation of molecular targets and biomarkers that are linked with underlying the underlying biology driving the initiation and progression of cancers. We then develop novel small molecule based radiotracers to monitor fundamental molecular and cellular processes occurring in living subjects using positron emission tomography (PET) with the goal of improving cancer diagnosis and management. We additionally develop novel peptide based theragnostic agents for stratification of patients with high receptor expression, treatment with targeted radionuclide therapy, and subsequent monitoring of treatment response. Our overall goal is to develop multiple clinically translatable strategies to improve cancer diagnosis, management, and outcomes.

Sean Bendall
Associate Professor of Pathology
On Partial Leave from 02/01/2026 To 10/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to understand the mechanisms regulating the development of human systems. Drawing on both pluripotent stem cell biology, hematopoiesis, and immunology, combined with novel high-content single-cell analysis (CyTOF – Mass Cytometry) and imagining (MIBI-Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging) we are creating templates of ‘normal’ human cellular behavior to both discover novel regulatory events and cell populations as well as understand dysfunctional processes such as cancer.

Eran Bendavid
Professor of Medicine (Primary Care and Population Health), of Health Policy, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and, by courtesy, at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsEffect of global health policies on health of individuals in developing countries, global health, HIV and TB.

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.

Christopher Bennett
Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine (Adult Clinical/Academic)
BioI am a board-certified emergency physician and researcher at Stanford, where I bridge clinical practice with health innovation. In addition to being faculty in the Department of Emergency Medicine, I hold affiliations with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI), the Center for AI in Medicine & Imaging (AIMI), and the Center for Digital Health (CDH).
My work leverages data-informed precision medicine with the goal of transforming healthcare delivery—especially for transmissible infectious diseases. As an NIH funded investigator, I lead a research group that designs solutions to improve patient outcomes and inform policy. I bring extensive experience from training at Duke, Harvard, and Stanford, and a proven track record of leadership from serving on the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Board of Directors, the SAEM Foundation Board of Trustees.
I am passionate about collaboration to pioneer digital health strategies that revolutionize care and drive tangible impact.
