Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Samsuk Kim is a dual research and clinical T32 fellow at Stanford University. She earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Detroit Mercy and completed external research training at the University of Michigan (Kratz Lab), where she studied psychosocial factors—such as mindfulness and pain acceptance—in chronic pain. She also completed an APA-accredited internship at the VA Boston Healthcare System. Clinically, Dr. Kim specializes in pain management, health promotion, adjustment-related challenges, and emotional regulation. She draws from a range of evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and interpersonal psychotherapy. Her current research focuses on understanding the bidirectional relationship between sleep and pain and developing personalized, digital interventions to improve outcomes in both domains.

On Partial Leave from 09/16/2025 To 03/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the development of pancreatic islet cells using molecular, embryologic and genetic methods in several model systems, including mice, pigs, human pancreas, embryonic stem cells, and Drosophila. Our work suggests that critical factors required for islet development are also needed to maintain essential functions of the mature islet. These approaches have informed efforts to generate replacement islets from renewable sources for diabetes.
