Farewell to outgoing lab members; Steffy to start her lab at LSU and Josephine to start her postdoc at Princeton. They will be missed. Wish their continued success in their next step!
Proud moment to see two outstanding trainees to graduate. Hannah got MD/PhD, moving to Hopkins for residency and Josephine got PhD, moving to Princeton for postdoc. Well done, both of you!
Promoted to full professor! Big thanks to all mentors, colleagues, and trainees for helping me to get here.

Hello, Just started here to see if I can find my neuroscience community here. Please check out my lab website for more info. kimlab.io.
The main interest of the Kim lab is to understand the cellular architecture of the nervous system and how it supports cognitive functions in the mammalian brain. We use mice as our main animal model. The unique challenge to understanding the governing principles of the mammalian brain is that microscopic structures (e.g., cell bodies, axons) interact with each other in a macroscopic network (e.g., whole brain) to generate behavior. To overcome this challenge, we develop and utilize high-resolution 3D brain mapping methods to examine cellular details in the entire mouse brain. Leveraging our novel methods, we focus on three discreet, yet inter-related research topics.
