Benyam Z. Kinde, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology
BioDr. Kinde is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist and ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Stanford Health Care Byers Eye Institute. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Kinde completed the American Society of Ophthalmic and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) fellowship in ophthalmic plastic surgery through the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami.
Dr. Kinde diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions related to the eyelid and other eye structures, including facial nerve palsy, skin cancer, and thyroid eye disease. He also provides care for patients who wish to enhance their appearance through surgical and nonsurgical interventions. Dr. Kinde offers many types of treatments, including cosmetic surgery, eyelid surgery (including upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery), reconstructive surgery, tear duct (lacrimal) surgery, and orbital surgery.
Dr. Kinde is a physician-scientist whose research interests focus on developing new tools to promote survival of retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve injury. He has investigated how modulating the DNA damage response in mouse models of traumatic optic neuropathy (symptoms of nerve damage) may promote and improve optic nerve function after injury. His previous work focused on increasing the resilience of neurons (messaging nerve cells) in mouse models of glaucoma and in humans with glaucoma. He completed his MD and PhD in neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, where his thesis work revealed a new understanding of Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects body movement.
Dr. Kinde has published in many peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Ophthalmology, and Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine. He has presented to his peers at international and national meetings, including the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Inter-American Course in Clinical Ophthalmology. -

Jennifer King
HAI Privacy and Data Policy Fellow, Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI research information privacy from the user's perspective (HCI) across multiple domains, including: online commercial contexts, IoT/Ubicomp, human genetics. I conduct both theoretical and applied privacy research, with a focus on the impacts of law and policy on privacy. My dissertation research explored the effects of social structures (such as power differentials) on individuals' decisions to disclose personal information in commercial contexts.

Roy King
Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrent research centers on the use of human genetic haploid systems, e.g. the Y chromosome, to understand the prehistory of human migrations particularly since the Holocene. This work includes investigating correlations with human symbolic material culture, focusing on the visual artistic realm. Also being explored are the issues and ethical implications of the social construction of race and ethnicity vis a vis the enhanced capacity to differentiate populations using genotypes.

David Kingsley
Rudy J. and Daphne Donohue Munzer Professor in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe use mice, stickleback fish, and humans to study the molecular basis of evolution and common diseases. By combining genetics and genomics, we have identified key DNA changes that control bone formation, limb patterning, hair color, brain evolution, and susceptibility to arthritis, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. We find that the same genetic mechanisms are often used repeatedly in nature, providing new insights into the origin of key traits in many different species, including ourselves.

Alaina Kipps
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioDr. Kipps grew up in Santa Cruz, California and completed her medical degree at Harvard Medical School in 2003. After general pediatrics residency at Stanford, she completed pediatric cardiology fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital from 2006 to 2009. After three years on faculty with University of California, San Francisco she was recruited back to Stanford in 2012 to become the medical director for acute care cardiology (2013-2021). Since 2021 she has focused on QI for the ACCU and heart center, and has served as the ACCU local improvement team medical director since 2013. In 2014 she co-founded the Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC³) with Nicolas Madsen and co-directed this since inception to spring 2026. PAC³ has 50 participating centers, a registry since 2019 with >150,000 encounters, and is the academic society for the ACCU subspecialty. Her academic focus is in clinical effectiveness and quality improvement science, and she completed her Masters of Science in Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health in 2016. Her other significant interest is in teaching, mentorship, and coaching. She is the co-director of the Pediatric residency program scholarly concentration in Quality Improvement, co-leads the Pediatric department peer scholar community (in QI), and has served as a residency coach since 2020.
