서울대학교 미주동창회 Seoul National University Alumni Association in the USA
Dear KSEA members, families, and friends,
I would like to invite you to “KSEA Distinguished Guest Series” that will be held on Thursday, June 15 with the theme of “Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies for Disease Modeling and Space Biology”.
Our guest is Deok-Ho Kim, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, who received the 2022 KSEA Engineer of the Year Award. In this talk, he will introduce human microphysiological systems integrated with biosensors and/or actuators for disease modeling, drug development, and space biology applications. Using multi-scale biofabrication techniques in combination with patient-derived organotypic culture models, Prof. Kim will highlight how our biomimetic models help to gain a better understanding of the structure-function relationship in complex 3D tissues and serve as emerging platforms for disease biology studies and biotherapeutic development.
Event Schedule:
- Time in the US: Thursday June 15th at 8:30 – 9:30pm ET (5:30 – 6:30 PM PT) [Add it to Google Calendar]
