Tomás R. Jiménez
Joan B. Ford Professor
BioTomás Jiménez is the Joan B. Ford Professor in the department of Sociology and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and founding co-director of Stanford's Institute for Advancing Just Societies. He is also the director of the Qualitative Initiative in the Immigration Policy Lab. His research and writing focus on immigration, policy, assimilation, social mobility, and ethnic and racial identity. His latest book, States of Belonging: Immigration Policies, Attitudes, and Inclusion (Russell Sage Foundation Press) (with Deborah Schildkraut, Yuen Ho, and John Dovidio) uses survey data (with an embedded experiment) and in-depth interviews to understand how state-level immigration policies shape belonging among Latino immigrants, US-born Latinos, and US-born whites in Arizona and New Mexico. The American Sociological Association’s Population Section selected the book for its Otis Dudley Duncan Distinguished Book Award. His second book, The Other Side of Assimilation: How Immigrants are Changing American Life (University of California Press, 2017), uses interviews from a race and class spectrum of Silicon Valley residents to show how a relational form of assimilation changes both newcomers (immigrants and their children) and established individuals (people born in the US to US-born parents). His first book, Replenished Ethnicity: Mexican Americans, Immigration, and Identity(University of California Press, 2010), draws on interviews and participant observation to understand how uninterrupted Mexican immigration influences the ethnic identity of later-generation Mexican Americans. Professor Jiménez has also published his research in Science, American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology, American Political Science Review, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Social Problems, International Migration Review, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Social Science Quarterly, DuBois Review, Social Currents, Qualitative Sociology, and the Annual Review of Sociology.
Professor Jiménez also researches immigration policy with Stanford's Immigration Policy Lab, directing the Lab's Qualitative Initiative to integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches in research to have policy impact. Current projects examine naturalization, refugee resettlement (with Pei Palmgren), and health and language access.
In other lines of research, Professor Jiménez and Sofia Avila examine how immigration becomes part of American national identity by studying a sample of high school US history textbooks from 1930-2007. This research employs hand-coding and computer-assisted text analysis of the textbook sample.
Professor Jiménez has taught at the University of California, San Diego. He was the Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer (2017-19). He has also been an Irvine Fellow at the New America Foundation and a Sage Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (CASBS). He was the American Sociological Association Congressional Fellow in the office of US Rep. Michael Honda, where he served as a legislative aide for immigration, veterans’ affairs, housing, and election reform. His writing on policy has appeared in reports for the Immigration Policy Center and the Migration Policy Institute. He has written editorials on immigration in several major news outlets, including The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, CNN.com, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Hill, and the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has also offered commentary for media outlets, including NBC News, National Public Radio, and Univision. -

David Jimenez-Morales
Sr Research Engineer, Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Role at StanfordBioinformatics Lead & Senior Research Scientist Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine
At Stanford, Dr. Jimenez-Morales owns and leads organization-wide data initiatives, most notably for the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) and COVID-omics projects. He coordinates a multidisciplinary team of analysts and researchers, overseeing the data engineering and analysis for complex multi-omics, multi-tissue in-vivo, and clinical studies.
A key aspect of his role involves developing innovative, scalable computational infrastructure from the ground up. This includes engineering comprehensive data injection and quality control systems, and implementing FAIR data science principles. He also serves as a mentor to staff, postdocs, and graduate students, cultivating a collaborative and highly productive research environment. -
Yingying Jin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Human Gene Therapy
BioYingying is a postdoctoral researcher at Kay Lab. She completed her PhD at Peking Union Medical College in China in 2024, under the supervision of Prof. De-Pei Liu. Her research focused on gene editing and ssDNA-protein interactions. During her PhD, she developed an innovative strategy to enhance HDR efficiency of ssDNA donors by incorporating HDR-boosting modules. In 2025, she joined Kay Lab, where her current work involves improving exogenous gene expression delivered by AAV through engineering the AAV genome.

Jeyun Jo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Jeyun Jo received his Pharm.D. from Pusan National University in 2016 and his Ph.D. in pharmacy at the same institution in 2021. His thesis studies focused on the first total synthesis of anmindenol A and optimization of 2-anilinopyrimidine-based selective inhibitors against triple-negative breast cancer cells. He then worked for one year as a senior research scientist at Chong Kun Dang, a leading pharmaceutical company in Korea, where he developed large-sacale synthetic processes for engineered peptides. In May 2022, he joined the Bogyo lab at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow. His current research focuses on developing highly selective inhibitors and activity-based probes targeting specific serine hydrolases in pathogenic bacteria and cancer.
