Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
BioDr. Ann Ming Yeh is a Clinical Professor at Stanford University in Pediatric Gastroenterology and practices at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health. She completed her residency and peds GI fellowship at Stanford University.
She completed a two-year distance learning fellowship through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine where she gained additional expertise in mind-body therapies, botanicals, and nutritional supplements. She is also a formally trained and board-certified medical acupuncturist. She is currently the program director for the in person clinical fellowship for Pediatric Integrative Medicine at Stanford. With skill and compassion, Dr. Yeh treats her patients with a comprehensive, evidence-based, holistic approach.
Dr. Yeh’s research interests include diet therapies for inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition, integrative medicine for pediatric gastroenterology and medical education for pediatric integrative medicine. She is also the author of the book: Constipation Conquered: A Holistic Guide to Treating Your Child's Constipation.
Outside of medicine, she enjoys yoga, gardening, hiking, and traveling with her family. -
Christine Yiwen Yeh
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2026
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioChristine Yeh is an aspiring physician-scientist with academic training and industry experience in translational bioinformatics and data science. Christine is currently a sixth year MD/PhD candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Stanford. She is interested in advancing cancer care through the integration of clinical oncology, computational cancer biology, and translational research, with the goal of developing more precise and effective therapies. In June 2025, she completed her PhD in Biomedical Data Science. In her doctoral work she developed a novel unsupervised machine learning pipeline grounded in principles of algorithmic fairness and applied it to single-cell spatial transcriptomics and CRISPR-based functional genomics to identify mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic vulnerabilities in tubo-ovarian cancer. Prior to MD/PhD training, Christine was a computational structural biologist and drug discovery scientist at D. E. Shaw Research in New York City. There, she built machine learning algorithms for investigating protein structural dynamics and worked on several early drug discovery programs for diabetes and immuno-oncology indications. Christine’s drug target panel included non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases encoded by PTPN1 and PTPN11. Her work led to peer-reviewed publications describing lead compounds and a novel small molecule therapeutic that advanced to and completed early phase clinical trials.

Ellen Yeh
Associate Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program focuses on understudied microbial ecology as solutions for planet health. We select organisms with important functional traits to understand their evolution, role in the environment, and potential for bioengineering toward sustainability solutions. We are currently working on nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and algae, genetic screens in diatoms, and algal biofuels.
