Seung K. Kim M.D., Ph.D.
KM Mulberry Professor, Professor of Developmental Biology, of Medicine (Endocrinology) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPancreatic islets are essential for human health. We study the development and function of islet cells using modern methods in several model systems, including mice, pigs, human pancreas, primates, embryonic stem cells, and fruit flies. We have discovered critical factors required for islet development and mature islet cell function. These approaches have informed efforts to generate replacement islets, and provide immune protection of transplanted islets for diabetes.

Matthew Kohrman
Associate Professor of Anthropology, and by courtesy, of Medicine (Stanford Prevention and Research Center) and Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
BioMatthew Kohrman’s research and writing bring anthropological methods to bear on the ways health, culture, and politics are interrelated. Focusing on the People's Republic of China, he engages various intellectual terrains such as governmentality, gender theory, political economy, critical science studies, narrativity, and embodiment. His first monograph, Bodies of Difference: Experiences of Disability and Institutional Advocacy in the Making of Modern China, raises questions about how embodied aspects of human existence, such as our gender, such as our ability to propel ourselves through space as walkers, cyclists and workers, become founts for the building of new state apparatuses of social provision, in particular, disability-advocacy organizations. Over the last decade, Prof. Kohrman has been involved in research aimed at analyzing and intervening in the biopolitics of cigarette smoking among Chinese citizens. This work, as seen in his recently edited volume--Poisonous Pandas: Chinese Cigarette Manufacturing in Critical Historical Perspectives--expands upon heuristic themes of his earlier disability research and engages in novel ways techniques of public health, political philosophy, and spatial history. More recently, he has begun projects linking ongoing interests at the intersection of phenomenology and political economy with questions regarding environmental attunement and the arts.

Qinqin Kong
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioI am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Departments of Medicine and Health Policy at Stanford University, after earning my PhD in Atmospheric Science from Purdue University. My research examines the physical drivers and societal impacts of extreme heat. My PhD work focused on how land–atmosphere interactions shape human heat stress and on the economic and energy impacts of increasing heat stress under climate change. At Stanford, my postdoctoral research focuses on the public health impacts of heat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
My ongoing projects include: (1) evaluating the effects of dry versus humid prenatal heat exposure on child stunting in India; and (2) developing a data-driven framework to address a longstanding question in heat-health research: how much should humidity factor into the measurement of human heat stress? My methodological expertise spans climate modeling, human biophysics modeling, and empirical causal inference. -
