MinYoung Kim graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine via the bachelor’s degree and doctoral programs. She completed her Rehabilitation Medicine residency at the Severance Hospital in 1996 and then worked as a clinical instructor. She took a post-doctoral course in a neurogenetic lab in UC SanDiego. Since 2003, when she became a professor at the CHA Bundang Medical Center, she has been conducting research on regeneration and rehabilitation. Three double-blind randomized controlled clinical trials using allogenic cord blood for children with cerebral palsy are her representative works, which showed the therapeutic potential of allogenic cord blood for regenerating purposes for the first time. Along with the clinical trials of cell therapy, she conducted translational research using molecular biological techniques. Clinical sample analyses were confirmed in both in vivo and in vitro experiments including mechanism investigation. Now, her main research area regards neurogenesis and angiogenesis for regeneration in brain injury or neurodegenerative diseases.
