Jong-Sung Kim, PhD

May 20, 2021 By

Center Affiliation and Expertise:  Pulmonary Toxicology Thematic Area

The objective of Dr. Kim’s research program is to advance our understanding of how emerging hazards and exposures lead to adverse health outcomes at various levels of biological organization (from cellular and molecular levels to populations) and how the human body modifies these responses to maintain homeostasis (host-defense) using innovative health risk assessment tools. His research program and research activities are currently focused on studies leading to new insights into: i) the associated toxicological mechanisms and pathways of adverse health outcomes in relation to occupational and environmental exposures; ii) an innovative biomarker of human exposure to occupational and environmental hazards; iii) effective target intervention strategies to prevent or mitigate adverse health outcomes in response to such exposures.
