Dr. Inseon Kim is a researcher at Dongguk University, specializing in stem cell biology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. She established an academic foundation in tissue engineering while earning her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Seoul National University. Building upon this, she completed her PhD at ETH Zurich, where she integrated her tissue engineering background with advanced stem cell engineering to develop innovative in vitro tissue platforms. During her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Zurich, Dr. Kim further expanded her research scope by focusing on the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neural crest stem cells. Currently at Dongguk University (Seoul), she leverages this comprehensive expertise, spanning structural tissue modeling and cellular fate determination, to pioneer highly functional stem cell-derived therapeutics and precise in vitro disease models for regenerative medicine.
