Andre Kumar MD, MEd
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Andre Kumar is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Stanford Division of Hospital Medicine with a passion for improving patient care through Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), clinical research, and education. He earned his MD from Tulane University and completed his residency, chief residency, and a Master's in Education at Stanford University.
Dr. Kumar has extensive experience in creating, operationalizing, and leading multi-center clinical trials, including investigations related to POCUS, COVID-19 therapeutics, procedural safety, and the long-term health consequences of infections on the heart and lungs. He continues to conduct research and teach POCUS on a local and national level, and is committed to improving the science and education that underlie the next generation of diagnostic tools. Currently, his research focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on numerous healthcare applications, particularly for the improving the accuracy of clinician diagnosis, evidence-based management, and medical imaging.
Dr. Kumar is also a committed educator and mentor to the next generation of physicians. His contributions to medical education have been recognized with several awards, including the Lawrence H. Mathers Award for Exceptional Commitment to Teaching (2023), the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching (2018, 2022), and the David A. Rytand Clinical Teaching Award (2018, 2022, and 2025). Dr. Kumar has contributed to the creation of educational content, including videos for the Stanford Medicine 25 series that cover various aspects of POCUS.
Dr. Kumar has held numerous leadership positions that reflect his commitment to advancing medical education and clinical practice. He is the Director of the Rathmann Fellowship in Medical Education at Stanford University. In the School of Medicine, he serves as the Co-Director of Clinical Reasoning and Associate Course Director for the Practice of Medicine course. Dr. Kumar is also the Director of the SMART-HM Program, which focuses on faculty development. He is also the Co-Founder and Director of the SHAPE Program in the Stanford Internal Medicine Residency Program.

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.

Parth I Kumar
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Medicine - Med/NephrologyBioParth Kumar is a fellow in the Stanford University Nephrology Fellowship Program. Dr. Kumar holds a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and an M.D. with Distinction from UCSF School of Medicine. He completed his Internal Medicine Residency at UC Irvine, where he was recognized as the Intern Teacher of the Year in 2022. Dr. Kumar's research interests span health care innovation and translational medicine, such as integrating 3D printing into clinical settings to aid patient education, evaluating novel medical devices. His past work includes the study "Evaluating the use of Radioactive Analogs of Doxorubicin for Quantifying ChemoFilter binding and Whole Body PET/MRI Biodistribution," leading to him being recognized as one of the JVIR Editor's Honorees: Distinguished Laboratory Investigations in 2022.

Karteek Kunala
Research Engineer, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioMy current interests are in development of design and instrumentation of pre-clinical vision devices, to conduct non-invasive in vivo retinal imaging. I studied Physics with a concentration in optics during my time at University of Hyderabad, India and received a bachelors and masters degree in 2014. I then moved to USA to continue working in the field of optics at University of North Carolina at Charlotte to pursue my PhD, working on nanofabrication of broadband anti-reflective structures. My interest in vision science started with my job at University of Rochester as a research scientist, where I was involved in developing optical imaging tools using adaptive optics to study retinal diseases. My work was focused on development of fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques in humans and two photon fluorescence microscopy in mouse.

Christian Kunder
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main interest is in understanding the biology of human neoplasms, using traditional histopathology, molecular genetic techniques, and other modalities. In particular, I am interested in soft tissue and genitourinary neoplasms, especially prostate cancer.
I am also interested in the classification and nomenclature of neoplasms and in practical research that helps us refine these, using a variety of techniques but still principally guided by histopathology.
I also work on developing next generation sequencing-based tests for genotyping tumors and in expanding the scope of this testing with the goal of identifying patients eligible for novel targeting therapies. -
Calvin Kuo
Maureen Lyles D'Ambrogio Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study cancer biology, intestinal stem cells (ISC), and angiogenesis. We use primary organoid cultures of diverse tissues and tumor biopsies for immunotherapy modeling, oncogene functional screening and stem cell biology. Angiogenesis projects include blood-brain barrier regulation, stroke therapeutics and anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. ISC projects apply organoid culture and ko mice to injury-inducible vs homeostatic stem cells and symmetric division mechanisms.

Christin S Kuo
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Pulmonary Medicine)
BioDr. Christin Kuo is a physician-scientist in the Department of Pediatrics. The ultimate goal of her research is to integrate a cellular and molecular understanding of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) to discover new approaches for diagnosing and treating diverse respiratory conditions associated with NE cell dysfunction and excessive proliferation, including neuroendocrine tumors. Abnormal PNECs are found in neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI), pulmonary carcinoids, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer. Her innovative approaches to studying the development and molecular diversity of rare but fascinating neurosensory cells with single cell precision, have led to fundamental discoveries. Her lab’s current research aims to apply this knowledge to understanding diverse human pulmonary neuroendocrine cell disorders using interdisciplinary approaches. Dr. Kuo is a Maternal and Child Health Research Institute Faculty Scholar.
