Biography:

Dr. Kim came to Anna Maria College with a background in the fields of cell cycle, epigenetics, and cancer biology with expertise in molecular, cellular, and biochemical biology. Since Dr. always wanted to work with young students, he started to teach from 2013.

Prior to joining Anna Maria College, Dr. Kim taught various Biology subjects in several colleges.

Courses Taught at Anna Maria:

Microbiology
Introduction to Chemistry I Lab
Human Anatomy and Physiology I

Research Interests:

Dr. Kim is interested in cancer biology with special expertise in senescence and epigenetic regulation. Also interested in the in vitro biochemical- and cell-based assay development and the translational research through various molecular biology and cell biology techniques.
