Joy Kumagai
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2022
Other Tech - Graduate, BiologyBioJoy is interested in the ways conservation and disease affect the resilience of coastal foundational species. Her current focus includes studying how seagrasses and kelp forests respond to simultaneous pressures, including marine heatwaves and disease dynamics, and how marine protected areas may affect the resistance and recovery of these ecosystems. She is passionate about useful, transdisciplinary research that increases the wellbeing of people through the sustainable management of marine ecosystems. Using her skillset in GIS, her previous work focused on marine conservation of coastal ecosystems, spanning valuing carbon stocks within Mexico to developing metrics quantifying the extent of area-based conservation. Additionally, she worked for IPBES at the science-policy interface implementing data management within international assessments focused on biodiversity and ecosystem services. When not at her desk, she likes to be out in nature, hiking, swimming, or knitting.

Andre Kumar MD, MEd
Clinical Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Andre Kumar is a Clinical 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 from Tulane University and completed his residency, chief residency, and a Master's in Education at Stanford University.
Dr. Kumar has extensive experience in creating, operationalizing, and leading multi-center clinical trials, including investigations related to POCUS, COVID-19 therapeutics, procedural safety, and the long-term health consequences of infections on the heart and lungs. 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. Currently, his research focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on numerous healthcare applications, particularly for the improving the accuracy of clinician diagnosis, evidence-based management, and medical imaging.
Dr. Kumar is also a committed educator and mentor to the next generation of physicians. His contributions to medical education have been recognized with several awards, including the Lawrence H. Mathers Award for Exceptional Commitment to Teaching (2023), the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching (2018, 2022), and the David A. Rytand Clinical Teaching Award (2018, 2022, and 2025). Dr. Kumar has contributed to the creation of free educational content for POCUS, including videos for the Stanford Medicine 25 series, New England Journal of Medicine, and JAMA, which have amassed over 1,000,000 views worldwide.
Dr. Kumar has held numerous leadership positions that reflect his commitment to advancing medical education and clinical practice. He is also the Co-Founder and Director of the SHAPE Program in the Stanford Internal Medicine Residency Program and Co-Director of Clinical Reasoning at Stanford School of Medicine. He previously served as President for the Society of Hospital Medicine Bay Area and Director of the Rathmann Medical Education Fellowship.

Chirag Kumar
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2025
BioChirag Kumar combines next-generation modeling tools with on-the-ground field research to provide actionable strategies that improve human health amidst environmental and migratory uncertainty. He is interested in causally unraveling the environmental factors driving infectious diseases to inform targeted interventions that mitigate those threats and how those insights can be directly shared with the public to empower individual-level change. To unravel complex human-environment-health systems, he has conducted on-the-ground field work and mechanistic biological analyses to provide key inputs into his models. His findings have been used to advocate for new World Health Organization vaccine recommendations against antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. Chirag previously served as a Biden-Harris US Digital Corps Data Fellow at the US CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics and on the Biden administration’s White House AI Forum. He graduated from Princeton University as a Smith-Newton Environmental Research Scholar where he concentrated in chemistry with minors in applied math, global health, and quantitative biology. He is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

Karteek Kunala
Research Engineer, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioMy current interests are in development of design and instrumentation of pre-clinical vision devices, to conduct non-invasive in vivo retinal imaging. I studied Physics with a concentration in optics during my time at University of Hyderabad, India and received a bachelors and masters degree in 2014. I then moved to USA to continue working in the field of optics at University of North Carolina at Charlotte to pursue my PhD, working on nanofabrication of broadband anti-reflective structures. My interest in vision science started with my job at University of Rochester as a research scientist, where I was involved in developing optical imaging tools using adaptive optics to study retinal diseases. My work was focused on development of fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques in humans and two photon fluorescence microscopy in mouse.

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. -
