Biography

Julia D. Ransohoff is an Instructor in the Division of Medical Oncology at Stanford University. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Human Developmental Regenerative Biology from Harvard College in 2012 and her M.D. from Stanford University in 2018. Dr. Ransohoff completed her residency in internal medicine at Stanford University in 2020 and is currently pursuing her fellowship in hematology oncology, with an expected completion in 2025. Her research focuses on improving breast cancer treatment outcomes by developing genomic methods to profile tumors and understand their response to treatment. She is particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying variable clinical responses to breast cancer therapies, and her current work involves exploring chemoresistance and immune evasion while identifying novel therapeutic targets. Additionally, Dr. Ransohoff studies epidemiological risk factors associated with breast cancer mortality, investigating aspects such as the gut microbiome and ethnic differences in treatment response. Her research has received support from organizations such as the ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Dr. Ransohoff is a clinically active oncologist who treats patients with breast cancer, focusing on breast oncology within medical oncology.
