"Why do some cells remain resilient while others become vulnerable in disease?"

  • The Kim Lab studies the regulatory logic that governs cellular identity and vulnerability in the brain. We investigate how gene regulatory networks and metabolic programs shape the dynamic states of neurons and microglia across development, ageing, and neurodegeneration.

  • Combining single-cell genomics, spatial molecular imaging, and functional perturbation, we aim to uncover the principles that determine how brain cells maintain stability or fail under stress.
