معرفی
Min Seong Kim serves as a Research Professor in the Department of Integrative Bioscience and Biotechnology at Sejong University, with foundational training from Yonsei University and extensive postdoctoral experience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His career bridges stem cell biology and clinical translational research.
Education:
- Ph.D., Yonsei University (2015)
- B.S., Yonsei University (2010)
Dr. Kim's research centers on human pluripotent stem cell applications for neurological disease modeling and therapeutic development, with emphasis on:
- Epigenetic regulation in embryonic stem cells and cancer stem cell-targeted drug development
- Parkinson's disease modeling via iPSCs using the OASIS (Optogenetic Alpha-Synuclein aggregation Induction System)
- Novel protocols for generating functional human Schwann cells
His 2025 publications demonstrate dual expertise: advancing neural disease modeling through stem cell engineering while contributing clinical insights into bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis in Alzheimer's patients. This reflects an integrative approach spanning molecular mechanisms to population health outcomes.
Scientific Awards:
