معرفی
Dr. William J. Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at Yale University School of Medicine. His research integrates computational biology, genomics, and systems immunology to advance precision oncology, particularly in understanding drug resistance mechanisms and tumor immune interactions. He holds affiliations with the Yale Cancer Center and leads the Kim Lab, which focuses on decoding oncogenic programs using machine learning and functional genomics.
Education: PhD from Duke University, postdoctoral training at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Broad Institute, and prior roles at UCSD School of Medicine as Co-Director of the Center for Cancer Target Discovery.
Research Focus: Combines multi-omics data analysis with experimental validation to identify therapeutic targets in cancers like lung and ovarian cancer. Key areas include tumor immune evasion, innate immune response modulation, and leveraging CRISPR-based screens for drug discovery.
Lab & Collaborations: The Kim Lab collaborates with clinicians, computational biologists, and patient advocacy groups to bridge basic science and clinical translation. Projects emphasize reconstructing cancer cell circuitry and predicting treatment responses via systems-level approaches.
