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 degree from Tulane University and completed his residency and chief residency in internal medicine at Stanford University, where he also earned a Master's in Education.
As a passionate educator and researcher, Dr. Kumar has completed three randomized trials on POCUS and its impact on patient care. 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. He is the lead investigator for a multicenter trial related to ultrasound and COVID-19. He was also an investigator for the ACTT and ACTIV trials for COVID-19, which brought the first COVID-19 therapeutics to patients nationwide. Currently, he is the Stanford Hospital lead for the National Institutes of Health RECOVER trial, a 1 billion dollar effort to understand the long-term effects of COVID-19 on patients.
Dr. Kumar has held numerous leadership positions, including serving as President of the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) Bay Area, Director of the Stanford Internal Medicine Procedure Service, Director for the Rathmann Fellowship in Medical Education, Director of the Stanford Medicine Residency Hospitalist Training Track, Associate Course Director and Q4 Lead for Practice of Medicine, Co-Director of Clinical Reasoning, and Co-Director for Advanced Clinical Skills in the School of Medicine

Kevin K. Kumar, MD, PhD
Clinical Instructor, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Kevin K. Kumar was born in New York City and grew up in Long Island, New York. He attended college at Cornell University where he majored in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior. After graduation, Dr. Kumar joined the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Vanderbilt University to earn his combined MD/PhD. He completed his PhD in Neuroscience in the laboratory of Dr. Aaron Bowman, where he studied the regulation of manganese in both Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease using high throughput screening, induced pluripotent stem cells, and untargeted metabolomics. He then began his neurosurgery residency at Stanford. As a resident, Dr. Kumar completed an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Marius Wernig in the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. His work focused on developing a platform to replace microglia in the brain as a novel therapy for neurodevelopmental disorders.
From 2023-2024, Dr. Kumar will serve as Clinical Instructor in Pediatric Neurosurgery at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. In addition to his clinical duties, he will continue to advance cellular therapeutics for pediatric neurological diseases. -

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.
