معرفی
Dr. Gene Kim is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering in Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. His research focuses on developing advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring, particularly in breast and head/neck cancers. The Kim Laboratory investigates tumor microenvironment through dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) methodologies.
- Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California
- Postdoctoral Training in Cancer Imaging, University of Pennsylvania
Key research areas include:
- Tumor vascular properties and water exchange kinetics
- Quantitative dMRI for cell viability assessment
- Adipose-tissue interactions in breast cancer
- Development of active contrast encoding (ACE-MRI) for comprehensive imaging
Recent publications demonstrate expertise in high-resolution 3D imaging, deep learning applications, and temporal resolution optimization. The lab has received continuous funding from the National Cancer Institute through grants like R01CA219964 and UG3/UH3CA228699. Notable methodological contributions include:
- Golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) MRI
- POMACE framework for cell size measurement
- ACE-MRI for integrated T1/flip angle quantification
