Kim Hankey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She holds a Ph.D. in Medical Pathology and a B.S. in Medical Technology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

Research Interests:

• Radiation injury and gastrointestinal tissue repair
• Medical countermeasures for radiation exposure
• Cellular immunotherapy (dendritic cells, NK cells)
• GLP-compliant bioanalytical assays for biologics
• Thymopoiesis and immune reconstitution

Publication Trends: Her recent work focuses on radiation-induced pathologies in non-human primates, biomarker discovery (e.g., CTGF, citrulline), and immune-based strategies for radiation mitigation. Key methods include GMP-compliant dendritic cell therapies and GLP-regulated pharmacokinetic studies.
