Sangman Kim

Sangman Kim is an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco with research expertise in immunology, microbiology, and host-pathogen interactions. His laboratory investigates toll-like receptors and their role in microbial recognition and immune activation.

Research focuses on:

• Mechanisms of host-microbe interactions through TLR signaling
• Impact of TLR polymorphisms on immune responses
• Microbiome influences on systemic immunity and disease pathogenesis
• Molecular pathways in celiac disease development

His recent publications demonstrate consistent investigation into microbiome-immune system interactions, particularly in contexts of sepsis, autoimmune disorders, and mucosal immunity. Research employs molecular biology approaches to dissect signaling pathways and translational applications of microbiome therapeutics.
