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.

Sunhee S. Kim, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - General Surgery
BioDr. Sunhee Serenity Kim is a board-certified, fellowship-trained general surgeon at Stanford Health Care and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also the director of emergency general surgery and clinical medical director of the general surgery outpatient clinic at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley.
Dr. Kim specializes in acute care surgery, applying minimally invasive surgical approaches such as robotic surgery. Dr. Kim treats a broad range of diseases, including gallbladder disease, diverticular disease, ventral and inguinal hernias, and benign breast disease. She has particular interest in enteroatmospheric and enterocutaneous fistula treatment.
Dr. Kim’s research interests have included cytokinesis, rare genetic mutations in blood cancers, and surgical treatment outcomes in people with pancreatic cancer. Most recently, she has performed clinical research with trauma and emergency general surgery patients.
Dr. Kim has published her research in peer-reviewed journals, including The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Nature Communications, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She has also presented to her peers at national meetings, including annual meetings of the Society of Surgical Oncology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Association for Academy Surgery.
Dr. Kim is a member of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). -
Yeuen Kim
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Vaden Health Center
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 and completed residency/chief residency at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, CA. She has worked with vulnerable populations in ambulatory and mobile settings as a primary care attending and medical outreach physician, as well as completing a Masters' and fellowship in clinical research at UCSF's Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology & SFGH DGIM, where she evaluated electronic referrals to subspecialty clinics from safety settings (Kim, Chen et al, JGIM 2009.) She worked with the SF and Santa Clara County public health departments to help reduce mortality and improve COVID19 and mpox mitigation, especially at congregate residential facilities through better ventilation, public-private collaboration, and addressing determinants of health for essential workers. 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 students, residents (Edwards, Kim et al, BMJ Educ 2022) and faculty as a clinical associate professor in Primary care and population health.

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.

Yong Yean Kim
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.
