Jiyeong Kim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Dermatology
BioDr. Jiyeong Kim is a post-doctoral scholar at the Stanford Center for Digital Health and the Department of Dermatology School of Medicine. Dr. Kim is a computational epidemiologist, harnessing patient-and caregiver-generated health information and data to design patient-centered health interventions, which could be tailored to each patient group for improving patient engagement and better health outcomes.
In her work, Dr. Kim uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing to understand patients' and caregivers' genuine voices of care needs and needed support. As a multidisciplinary epidemiologist, Dr. Kim's work focuses on translational health data science, embracing the intersection of mental health and digital health and expanding to patient-provider communications and health disparities among cancer survivors and caregivers of individuals with chronic conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia).

Samsuk Kim, PhD.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Kim is dual research and clinical T32 fellow working with Drs. Beth Darnall, Sean Mackey, and Heather Poupore-King. Her research is focused on developing and testing innovative digital interventions for chronic pain. Prior to Stanford, she received her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Detroit Mercy and external research training at the University of Michigan (at the Kratz Lab) with a focus on psychosocial factors (e.g., mindfulness, pain acceptance) for chronic pain. She completed an APA-accredited internship at the VA Boston Healthcare System. Her clinical interest is broadly focused on pain management, health promotion, adjustment-related issues, and emotional regulation. She uses a number of treatment approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based treatments, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy approaches.

Sung Eun Kim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Orthopedic Surgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDevelop biomechanics models that prescribe personalized movement modification to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and maximize individual capability performance. Then, I combine the models with advanced technologies, such as computer vision, sonification, and artificial intelligence, to make them accessible to the public.

David Kinitz
Postdoctoral Scholar, Nephrology
BioDavid J. Kinitz, PhD, MSW is a social and behavioural health scientist and social worker with a passion for understanding the complex social, political, and economic systems that shape LGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing. David holds a PhD in Social and Behavioural Health Sciences from the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, and graduate and undergraduate degrees in social work from York University and Lakehead University, respectively. His work primarily draws on critical qualitative and mixed-methods methodologies to deconstruct systems of oppression, such as racism, cissexism, heterosexism, and classism. He looks at how these systems reinforce social hierarchies that produce ill-health, particularly as they relate to labour market phenomena. David’s doctoral research employed narrative inquiry and Marxist political economy theories to study economic insecurity, precarious employment, and mental health among gay, bisexual, and queer men in Toronto, Canada. David continues this area of scholarship through leading and collaborating on various projects exploring access to social assistance, employment quality, employment skills and training, and economic insecurity among LGBTQ+ people in Canada and the US.

Gabriele Kockelkoren
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioGabriele has a strong background in both physics and molecular biology and, accordingly, he strives in interdisciplinary environments. After completing a cum laude BSc. and MSc. in Nanobiology at the Technical University of Delft in The Netherlands, Gabriele pursued a PhD at the University of Copenhagen under the supervision of Prof. Dimitrios Stamou. In his PhD, Gabriele studied the nanoscale spatial organization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) at the plasma membrane of living cells. Importantly, his work reveals heterogeneous spatial patterns of receptor density and activation, that are modulated in a drug-dependent manner. These findings identify GPCR spatial organization as an integral element of their activity and signaling. Currently, Gabriele is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Prof. Alice Ting developing programmable receptors for molecular sensing and controlling cellular behaviour.

Anne Marijn Kramer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford Cancer Center
BioDr. Anne Marijn Kramer, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy at Stanford University. Dr. Kramer received her medical degree (with honors) from Amsterdam University in 2013. She conducted her PhD studies at University College London, studying binding kinetics of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells. Her research at Stanford University focuses on developing methods to identify patients who are at high risk for relapse or developing side-effects after receiving CAR T therapy and to understand why these relapses and side-effects occur.

David Krucik, MS, DVM
Postdoctoral Scholar, Comparative Medicine
BioI started working in wildlife conservation and veterinary science over 10 years ago as a volunteer working in marine mammal rehabilitation. My current work focuses on marine mammal research, conservation, and applications within the one health and conservation medicine framework.

Manoj Kumar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on imaging-guided therapy using PET and MR imaging approaches. My academic training and background is in molecular imaging. During my doctoral training, I developed and validated a PET imaging approach for evaluating endocrine therapy responses in advanced breast cancer. My current research focuses on imaging tumor immune markers and responses to cancer immunotherapy. The goal is to develop new imaging toolboxes to monitor and guide treatment. Specifically, I employ antibodies, nanoparticles, and reporter genes for imaging and combinations of therapies to modulate and restore the body's suppressed immune functions against cancer cells. This is being done in collaboration with teams of researchers in early clinical development and teams in clinical practice.
