Isaac Kim

Bio:

Dr. Isaac Yi Kim is currently the Professor and Chair, Department of Urology, Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Kim graduated from University of California, Berkeley with BA in biochemistry and MD/PhD from Northwestern University, Chicago, IL. Subsequently, he completed the urology residency training at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. During the residency training, he completed a one-year urologic oncology research fellowship at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Kim then studied Laparoscopy and Robotics with Dr. Ralph V. Clayman, at University of California, Irvine. After the completion of clinical training, he received the first faculty appointment at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ in Aug 2005. In 2021, he was recruited to the Yale School of Medicine to lead the Department of Urology. He is an expert in minimally invasive robotic surgery and has completed more than 2,300 robotic surgeries for prostate cancer.  His laboratory research interests include tumor microenvironment and androgen signaling in prostate cancer while clinical research programs focus on racial disparity as well as role of surgery in advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. He is the principal investigator of the international multi-institution clinical study on cytoreductive radical prostatectomy, SIMCAP.

Andrew Koh

Bio:

Andrew Koh is Museum Scientist for the Yale Peabody Museum and a faculty member in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. He founded and leads the Yale Ancient Pharmacology Program, a transdisciplinary endeavor that fuses the sciences and humanities. After completing his dissertation as an exchange scholar at Stanford University and receiving his doctorate in archaeology and chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, he received postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan and its Kelsey Museum before heading off to UCLA to run its introductory ancient Greek program and teach archaeology. This was followed by a Florence Levy Kay fellowship in chemistry and classical studies at Brandeis University, where he founded its Digital Scholarship Lab, and his appointment as a senior research fellow at the MIT Center for Materials Research in Archaeology and Ethnology. 

In addition to his doctorate, Dr. Koh holds a BS in biophysics and classics (pre-medicine) and master’s degrees in biblical studies and Egyptology. He is an active field archaeologist, who co-directs the Southern Phokis Regional Project in Central Greece near Delphi and has served on committees for the National Endowment for the Humanities, Getty Research Institute, National Science Foundation, American Chemical Society, Archaeological Institute of America, American Society of Overseas Research, Town of Concord Historical Commission, and Boston Museum of Science. In an interesting twist, his research was used to model and help backfill the concept of “archaeological medicine” for the 23rd-century Star Trek universe, a discipline first mentioned in the original series from the 1960s, but only recently revisited in its Strange New Worlds prequel spin-off.
