    Jason Hom

    Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSince 2002, I have worked on a variety of clinical and translational imaging research projects. I have been fortunate to have Dr. Max Wintermark as a research mentor.

    Since 2012, I have worked on a variety of multi-disciplinary high value care research projects, with a focus on studying interventions related to provider education and EHR-based clinical decision support systems. As technology has progressed, I have examined a spectrum of interventions, ranging from static guideline-based best practice alerts to more advanced AI-based systems. Due to prior research work with code sets and based on my administrative roles, I have a particular interest in researching LLM use for clinical documentation.

    Since 2015, I have had the distinct privilege of being a clinical team member for The Stanford Center for Undiagnosed Diseases (undiagnosed.stanford.edu - PIs Dr. Euan Ashley, Dr. Matt Wheeler, Dr. Jon Bernstein & Dr. Paul Fisher).

  • David S. Hong

    David S. Hong

    Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Interdisciplinary Brain Science Research)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Hong is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and clinician-scientist. His responsibilities span clinical care, teaching/mentorship, and research, with a unifying theme of advancing a developmental cognitive framework as applied to psychiatric conditions. Using this core premise, he work encompasses multiple domains: specialized clinical care, fellowship training, research mentorship, and elaborating the role of sex-specific determinants of development, one of the greatest contributors to individual developmental variation.

    His lab investigates genetic and hormonal influences underlying sex differences in child psychiatric conditions. Sex has emerged as a critical variable driving differences in the phenomenology, course, and treatment of many mental health disorders. Unfortunately, an understanding of the biological mechanisms driving these effects are limited. By applying innovative neuroimaging and multiomic approaches, Dr. Hong seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the connection between sex-specific effects and complex psychiatric diseases. To do so, research in the Hong Lab focuses on the role of genes on the X and Y chromosomes, as well as circulating sex hormones on brain development, cognition, and behavior. The lab broadly aims to elucidate the changing nature of these mechanisms across various stages of development.

    Another area of focus is the implementation of clinical informatics in child psychiatry and the development of digital mental health tools. As co-Director of the Mental Health Technology and Innovation Hub, Dr. Hong is helping to develop clinical and research infrastructure within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to advance development of mobile mental health resources that will improve efficacy and access to mental health care.
