معرفی
Kevin King is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. His research focuses on cardiovascular disease mechanisms, inflammatory responses to tissue injury, and non-invasive monitoring technologies. He holds a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois (1999), MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT (2002/2007), and MD from Harvard Medical School (2009). His cardiology training includes residencies at Stanford University Hospital and a fellowship at Mass General Brigham.
Dr. King leads NIH-funded projects investigating heart failure decompensation monitoring (NIH R43HL157291) and chronic disease remote monitoring systems (NIH R21NR018558). His work combines engineering innovations with biomedical research, including development of bed-based non-contact sensors for longitudinal health tracking. Key research themes include cell communication networks in inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue regeneration, with particular attention to type I interferon responses and macrophage signaling in myocardial injury.
His lab's recent efforts focus on spatial transcriptomics to map cardiac repair processes and develop hepatoprotective strategies against drug-induced liver injury. Collaborations span electrical engineering, immunology, and clinical cardiology, reflecting his multidisciplinary training background.
