Jason Yeatman
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics), of Education and of Psychology
BioDr. Jason Yeatman is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Department of Psychology at Stanford University and the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Yeatman completed his PhD in Psychology at Stanford where he studied the neurobiology of literacy and developed new brain imaging methods for studying the relationship between brain plasticity and learning. After finishing his PhD, he took a faculty position at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences before returning to Stanford.
As the director of the Brain Development and Education Lab, the overarching goal of his research is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the process of learning to read, how these mechanisms differ in children with dyslexia, and to design literacy intervention programs that are effective across the wide spectrum of learning differences. His lab employs a collection of structural and functional neuroimaging measurements to study how a child’s experience with reading instruction shapes the development of brain circuits that are specialized for this unique cognitive function. -
Emmanuelle Yecies, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Emmanuelle Yecies is a board-certified internal medicine doctor at Stanford Health Care, with fellowship training in women’s health and medical education. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Yecies practices comprehensive primary care and preventive care. Her additional training in women’s health equips her with the skills to manage complex, gender-specific health needs throughout the lifespan, including hormone management, reproductive health care, and chronic disease management. She provides comprehensive, trauma-informed care that’s personalized to each of her patients.
Dr. Yecies’ research interests include preventive care and comprehensive chronic disease management for women in different reproductive stages of life, from menstruation through menopause. As a clinician educator, she has developed numerous educational materials for trainees and faculty. She is a frequent lecturer on issues affecting women’s health, both locally and nationally.
Dr. Yecies has published her work in peer-reviewed journals, such as Journal of General Internal Medicine, Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, Southern Medical Journal, and BMJ Open. She has authored chapters in medical textbooks and has also presented at national and regional meetings, including annual meetings of the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM).
Dr. Yecies is a member of SGIM. -
Ann Ming Yeh, MD
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
BioDr. Ann Ming Yeh is a Clinical Professor at Stanford University in Pediatric Gastroenterology and practices at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health. She completed her residency and peds GI fellowship at Stanford University.
She completed a two-year distance learning fellowship through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine where she gained additional expertise in mind-body therapies, botanicals, and nutritional supplements. She is also a formally trained and board-certified medical acupuncturist. She is currently the program director for the in person clinical fellowship for Pediatric Integrative Medicine at Stanford. With skill and compassion, Dr. Yeh treats her patients with a comprehensive, evidence-based, holistic approach.
Dr. Yeh’s research interests include diet therapies for inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition, integrative medicine for pediatric gastroenterology and medical education for pediatric integrative medicine.

Christine Yiwen Yeh
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2027
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioChristine Yeh is an aspiring physician-scientist with academic training and industry experience in translational bioinformatics and data science. Christine is currently a sixth year MD/PhD candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Stanford. She is interested in advancing cancer care through the integration of clinical oncology, computational cancer biology, and translational research, with the goal of developing more precise and effective therapies. In June 2025, she completed her PhD in Biomedical Data Science. In her doctoral work she developed a novel unsupervised machine learning pipeline grounded in principles of algorithmic fairness and applied it to single-cell spatial transcriptomics and CRISPR-based functional genomics to identify mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic vulnerabilities in tubo-ovarian cancer. Prior to MD/PhD training, Christine was a computational structural biologist and drug discovery scientist at D. E. Shaw Research in New York City. There, she built machine learning algorithms for investigating protein structural dynamics and worked on several early drug discovery programs for diabetes and immuno-oncology indications. Christine’s drug target panel included non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases encoded by PTPN1 and PTPN11. Her work led to peer-reviewed publications describing lead compounds and a novel small molecule therapeutic that advanced to and completed early phase clinical trials.
