The Kim lab was selected to receive the “Medi-Star” grant (also known as the World-Class Biomedical Scientist Project) from Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI; an organization affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Welfare), which will support the research for the next 3 years. Congratulations on the good start!

Starting from today, the Kim lab is now affiliated with “Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetic Engineering” and “Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience”. Students can apply to these M.S./Ph.D. programs to pursue graduate research in the Kim lab.

Sung-Yon submitted an image of CLARITY-processed and stochastic electrotransport-stained whole adult mouse brain to a bioimage competition and won an award! Congrats!!
