Dr. Christoph A. Thaiss is an Assistant Professor of Pathology at Stanford University. His lab studies how interactions between environment, body, and brain impact physiology and disease over the lifespan. Christoph received his undergraduate training from the University of Bonn, Yale University, ETH Zurich, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Following his Ph.D. studies at the Weizmann Institute of Science, he joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Christopher Bennett is a physician scientist and an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Once a basic scientist focused on genetics and genomics, Dr. Bennett’s work for the last several years has focused on large data-set analyses reflective of multiple multi-institutional studies aimed at better understanding how US emergency departments (and emergency physicians) can increase rates of HIV testing for at- risk patients.
