Dr. Pilhan Kim is an Associate Professor of Graduate School of Medical Science and Engineering (GSMSE) at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He received B.S. and Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea, in 2000 and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2010, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital Boston, USA, with the cross-disciplinary postdoctoral fellowship from Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP). At 2010, he joined KAIST as a tenure-track faculty and was appointed as a tenured Associate Professor at 2018.
His main research interest is the development of advanced state-of-arts in vivo cellular imaging technology based on a custom-built real-time laser-scanning intravital confocal and two-photon microscopy. Utilizing the image system, his group have achieved a systemic cellular-level visualization of various preclinical animal model to investigate the complex pathophysiology of human diseases and develop novel therapeutics.
