Clinical Care
Overview
Sang Taek Kim, MD, PhD, is a rheumatologist who cares for people with autoimmune conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and other organs. He treats conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, gout, and vasculitis.
Dr. Kim offers a range of therapies to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility and quality of life. In particular, he is experienced in managing rheumatology patients with preexisting or coexisting cancers.
Dr. Kim investigates how cancer immunotherapy can cause autoimmune complications, known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). He works to develop optimal strategies for managing irAEs without compromising the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.
Dr. Kim received his medical training from Yonsei University College of Medicine in South Korea. After completing his internal medicine training at Mount Sinai Hospital, he completed a rheumatology fellowship at Yale School of Medicine.
