Peter S. Kim
Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Biochemistry
On Partial Leave from 09/01/2023 To 06/30/2024Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are studying the mechanism of viral membrane fusion and its inhibition by drugs and antibodies. We use the HIV envelope protein (gp120/gp41) as a model system. Some of our studies are aimed at creating an HIV vaccine. We are also characterizing protein surfaces that are referred to as "non-druggable". These surfaces are defined empirically based on failure to identify small, drug-like molecules that bind to them with high affinity and specificity.

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.

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 InterestsWe study the development of pancreatic islet cells using molecular, embryologic and genetic methods in several model systems, including mice, pigs, human pancreas, embryonic stem cells, and Drosophila. Our work suggests that critical factors required for islet development are also needed to maintain essential functions of the mature islet. These approaches have informed efforts to generate replacement islets from renewable sources for diabetes.

Sun Kim, M.D. M.S.
Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are interested in studying the pathophysiological processes that contribute to glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. My current research focuses on characterizing pancreatic beta-cell function in populations with significant insulin resistance and vulnerability to developing diabetes: individuals with schizophrenia, morbid obesity, and history of gestational diabetes.

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.

W. Ray Kim
Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
BioChronic liver disease is one of the most common causes of premature death in Americans. My career goal is to improve the outcome of individuals with chronic liver disease by identifying the optimal means for diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and prevention. The path I have chosen to achieve this goal is through engagement in clinical epidemiology and patient-oriented, effectiveness research.
Since the development of the MELD score which recognizes the importance of renal function in the prognosis of patients with end stage liver disease, one of the areas that we have had intense interest has been acute and chronic renal injury in patients undergoing liver transplantation. Liver transplantation represents a unique opportunity for research, because of the potential for reversal of the renal injury as well as access to biological materials. -
Yeuen Kim
Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioYeuen Kim MD MAS is an internal medicine physician with expertise in population health, medical humanities educational interventions, and working with vulnerable populations in urban settings. She trained at Brown University's Program in Liberal Medical Education (AB Comp Lit/French, MD) and completed residency/chief residency in internal medicine at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in 2000. She has worked with vulnerable populations in ambulatory and mobile settings as a primary care GMC attending and medical outreach physician, as well as completing a Masters' and fellowship in clinical research at UCSF's Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology and SFGH DGIM, where she evaluated electronic referrals to subspecialty clinics from safety settings (Kim, Chen et al, JGIM 2009.) Since 2020, she has worked with the SF and Santa Clara County public health departments to help reduce mortality and improve C-19 and mpox mitigation, especially at residential congregate facilities through better ventilation, public-private collaboration, and addressing determinants of health for essential workers; she has summarized lessons learned from international conferences on COVID19 responses (Sales, Kim et al, AJPH 2021). Since 2013, she has facilitated art gallery-based workshops for physicians and learners to improve observation and communication skills. She co-leads narrative medicine and oncology workshops for medicine residents and students (Edwards, Kim et al, BMJ Educ 2022) and is an adjunct clinical associate professor in Primary care and population health, Medicine.

Abby C. King
David and Susan Heckerman Professor and Professor of Epidemiology & Population Health and of Medicine (Stanford Prevention Research Center)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests include applications of behavioral theory and social ecological approaches to achieve large scale changes impacting chronic disease prevention and control; expanding the reach and translation of evidence-based interventions through state-of-the-art technologies; exploring social and physical environmental influences on health; applying community participatory research perspectives to address health disparities; and policy-level approaches to health promotion/disease prevention.

Roy King
Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrent research centers on the use of human genetic haploid systems, e.g. the Y chromosome, to understand the prehistory of human migrations particularly since the Holocene. This work includes investigating correlations with human symbolic material culture, focusing on the visual artistic realm. Also being explored are the issues and ethical implications of the social construction of race and ethnicity vis a vis the enhanced capacity to differentiate populations using genotypes.
