Andre Kumar MD, MEd
Clinical Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Andre Kumar is a Clinical Professor in the Stanford Division of Hospital Medicine with a passion for improving patient care through Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), clinical research, and education. He earned his MD from Tulane University and completed his residency, chief residency, and a Master's in Education at Stanford University.
Dr. Kumar has extensive experience in creating, operationalizing, and leading multi-center clinical trials, including investigations related to POCUS, COVID-19 therapeutics, procedural safety, and the long-term health consequences of infections on the heart and lungs. He continues to conduct research and teach POCUS on a local and national level, and is committed to improving the science and education that underlie the next generation of diagnostic tools. Currently, his research focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on numerous healthcare applications, particularly for the improving the accuracy of clinician diagnosis, evidence-based management, and medical imaging.
Dr. Kumar is also a committed educator and mentor to the next generation of physicians. His contributions to medical education have been recognized with several awards, including the Lawrence H. Mathers Award for Exceptional Commitment to Teaching (2023), the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching (2018, 2022), and the David A. Rytand Clinical Teaching Award (2018, 2022, and 2025).

Calvin Kuo
Maureen Lyles D'Ambrogio Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study cancer biology, intestinal stem cells (ISC), and angiogenesis. We use primary organoid cultures of diverse tissues and tumor biopsies for immunotherapy modeling, oncogene functional screening and stem cell biology. Angiogenesis projects include blood-brain barrier regulation, stroke therapeutics and anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. ISC projects apply organoid culture and ko mice to injury-inducible vs homeostatic stem cells and symmetric division mechanisms.
