معرفی
Professor Kyung-Nam Kim is a faculty member at Sejong University's Department of Bioindustry and Bioresource Engineering. Specializing in plant molecular biology, he leads research on calcium signaling networks and stress tolerance mechanisms in crops. His work bridges fundamental biology with agricultural applications for drought and salt resistance.
- Ph.D., Penn State University (1997)
- M.S., Korea University (1988)
- B.S., Korea University (1984)
Research interests focus on:
- CBL-CIPK calcium signaling networks in plants
- Development of drought and salt tolerant crops
- Natural rubber biosynthesis in lettuce
Recent publications highlight his work on CRISPR-mediated genome editing in tomatoes (2025), fungal pathogenesis inhibition through autophagy modulation (2024), and calcium sensor protein pathways in stress tolerance (2018, 2021). The plant biology fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in Arabidopsis genetics, calcineurin pathways, protein kinase mechanisms, and stress response systems.
