Clinical Associate Professor, Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery)
BioDr. Jiang is a board-certified, fellowship-trained laryngologist with Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Division of Laryngology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Jiang completed a fellowship in laryngology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Jiang specializes in helping patients with all conditions affecting the throat and neck, including vocal cord disorders, hoarseness, chronic cough, and swallowing difficulties. She is skilled at treating even the most complex conditions using the latest techniques and advanced technology. Offering surgical and nonsurgical treatments, Dr. Jiang is passionate about tailoring each care plan to meet the needs of her patients.
Her research interests include outcomes in vocal fold paralysis caused by intubation and from unknown causes (idiopathic). She also studies practice patterns of otolaryngologists in the United States. She has evaluated the effectiveness of in-person versus telemedicine care in otolaryngology and the disparities in speech therapy for voice disorders among English-speaking and non-English-speaking patients. Dr. Jiang has also explored how using a digital otoscope can reduce the use of antibiotics in children with ear infections.
Dr. Jiang’s articles have appeared in many peer-reviewed publications, including Laryngoscope, Otology and Neurotology, and American Journal of Otolaryngology. She edited a chapter on gross and radiographic anatomy in Anesthesiology and Otolaryngology. She has also reviewed articles for Laryngoscope and Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology.
Dr. Jiang has presented her research findings in the United States and Canada. She has been invited to speak at dozens of conferences about a range of topics affecting the ears, nose, and throat. She has served as principal investigator on many studies, including how using artificial intelligence can improve patient care and how to reduce opioid use following otolaryngology surgery.
Dr. Jiang is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, the Society of University Otolaryngologists, and the American Broncho-Esophagological Association. -

Grace S. Kim, MD
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
BioGrace S. Kim, MD is a pediatric otolaryngologist and surgeon-scientist in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery at Stanford University. Her clinical practice focuses on the full spectrum of pediatric otolaryngology, with particular expertise in hearing loss, chronic ear disease, thyroid disorders, vascular malformations and pediatric head and neck conditions. Her research investigates the immune mechanisms underlying congenital hearing loss and inner ear injury, with the goal of developing therapies to preserve hearing in children.
Dr. Kim received her BA in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University and her MD from Stanford University School of Medicine, where she also completed an additional year of research as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Fellow. She completed residency training in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at Stanford, including a two-year NIH-sponsored research fellowship investigating vestibular repair and regeneration, followed by fellowship training in complex pediatric otolaryngology at Stanford.
Dr. Kim joined the Stanford faculty in 2023. She leads a translational research program investigating inner ear neuroimmunology and congenital hearing loss, using animal models to understand how congenital cytomegalovirus infection and immune responses impact the developing auditory system. Her long-term goal is to develop targeted therapies that prevent hearing loss in children. Her work is supported by an NIH Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development (K08) Award, as well as funding from the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology and the Stanford Maternal & Child Health Research Institute. -

Paul Krumpoeck
Affiliate, OHNS/Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery
Visiting Scholar, OHNS/Otology & Neurotology DivisionBioPaul E. Krumpoeck is a PhD student in Neuroscience at the Medical University of Vienna. His current research as a visiting scholar at the Stankovic Lab at Stanford Medicine focuses on artificial intelligence-guided discovery of novel genetic factors underlying hearing loss, which entails functional and histological assessment of genetically engineered mouse models. Having worked with various other experimental models, his background includes research on viral vector-based gene therapy, clinical studies on outcomes of cochlear implantation, and more.

Quynh-Thu Le, MD, FACR, FASTRO, FARS
Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on identifying pathways and biomarkers of treatment resistance in head and neck cancer using clinical samples. We explore approaches to modulate these pathways through preclinical models (cell lines, organoids, tumor bearing mice) in order to develop precise strategies against these resistant mechanisms. At the same time, we are also studying pathways involved in treatment-related toxicity and develop strategies to prevent or overcome these toxicities.
