معرفی
Dr. Yanghee Kim is a Senior Research Fellow (Anni Fellowship) at the University of Southampton's Faculty of Medicine. Her research focuses on biomaterials for tissue regeneration, particularly scaffolds and hydrogels for bone repair. She holds a PhD from Kyoto University, where she studied immune cell recruitment via drug delivery systems. Since 2016, she has contributed to the Bone and Joint Research Group, developing nanoclay-based therapies and collaborating with Kyoto University on macrophage-stem cell interactions. She is an editorial board member for journals like BMC Medical Research Methodology and Frontiers in Biomaterials Science. Awards include the University of Southampton Anniversary Fellowship (2023) and the Outstanding Researcher award (2022).
Her work spans biomaterial design, stem cell biology, and immunomodulation. Recent projects include hydrogel stabilization with nanofillers and 3D bioprinted bone tissue. She supervises three PhD students and teaches modules like MSc Biomedical Science and BM Research Projects. Current funding includes the MRC-AMED grant for macrophage-biomaterial interactions.
