Biography
Dr. Kim’s projects focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms within neural circuits that are associated with obesity-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). He currently investigates the alteration of neuronal/glial activity and the mechanism of interaction between neurons and glia in the forebrain during development of metabolic disease. To achieve this, Dr. Kim applies a variety of techniques in obese and transgenic murine models including molecular biology and histological approaches, chemogenetic manipulations of neuronal/glial activity, and integrative cardiovascular/metabolic physiology. His overall long-term career goal is to elucidate the central regulatory mechanisms underlying metabolic regulation in healthy and disease states.
