Research Synopsis
Dr. Young-In Kim's research focuses on several aspects of nutrition and cancer (colorectal, breast and gastric cancers) at the molecular, cellular and translational levels including prevention, early detection and screening, development and validation of surrogate endpoint biomarkers, molecular genetics, epigenetics, pharmacogenetics and nutrigenomics using animal models, cell culture systems and human subjects. His research program integrates epigenetics, molecular and cellular biology, molecular epidemiology, cancer biomarkers and nutritional chemistry and bridges between wet-bench laboratory and translational sciences.
