Professor Hyuk-Soon Kim, PhD

Biographical Information
Hyuk Soon Kim attended the Konkuk University obtaining a B.Sc. in Biochemistry, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Medicine. He worked as an assistant professor at School of Medicine, Konkuk Universityin Seoul, Korea (2013 - 2020) and is currently employed as an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Dong-A University in Busan, Korea since 2020. He has published over 45 peer-reviewed papers and several book chapters on immunology and general biology. His current interests are the mechanism of regulatory immune cells, including regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs), regulatory natural killer cells (NKregs) and regulatory innate lymphoid cells (ILCreg) in various immune disorders as allergy, autoimmune, and cancers.
