Yo Sup Kim
Clinical Scholar, Radiology
Fellow in Rad/Musculoskeletal ImagingBioI completed both my diagnostic radiology residency at Indiana University School of Medicine and my MBA at the Kelley School of Business Indiana University on June 2025. I am currently pursuing my fellowship in Musculoskeletal Radiology at Stanford. My healthcare-related interests and research primarily involve applying real world business practices in radiology for optimal efficiency and maximizing value (e.g. using linear regression analysis to finding variables that impact volume of CT studies at the ER). Outside of healthcare, I have entrepreneurial interests particularly in the area of venture capitalism for tech and service companies. Prior to medical school, I ran my family's floral bouquet company in California.

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics ( Hematology & Oncology)
BioOur lab is interested in translational science to bring new therapies to clinical trials. In particular, we are interested in pediatric sarcomas which have not had advancement in clinical treatment for decades. Current projects in the lab focus on understanding of the biology of fusion transcription factor PAX3::FOXO1 which is the driver mutation in fusion positive rhabdomyosarcoma. PAX3::FOXO1 is a powerful oncogenic transcription factor which rewires the transcriptional organization to lock the cancer cell in the proliferative state. Since transcription factors including PAX3::FOXO1 are difficult to target using small molecules, we aim to understand how PAX3::FOXO1 is regulated and targeting the regulators of PAX3::FOXO1. By understanding and targeting the regulation of PAX3::FOXO1, we hope to bring new therapies for fusion positive rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, these regulatory mechanisms may also be active in other transcription driven cancers such as the EWSR1::FLI1 driven Ewings Sarcoma.
Our lab is also interested in exploring the epigenetic landscape of pediatric solid tumors and trying to understand how dysregulation in the epigenome drives oncogenesis. We utilize various CRISPR mediated genetic techniques to interrogate the regulators of epigenome focusing on the histone lysine demethylases (KDMs). KDMs are an understudied group of epigenetic regulators which can be targeted for therapeutic effect. We explore the role of KDMs in pediatric solid tumors and hope to identify potential targets for drug development. -
