Kim Lab of Molecular and Synthetic Neuroengineering
This image symbolizes the dual character of our study, which is to understand the ‘nature’ of the signaling and to ‘engineer’ them. We seek to understand the natural signaling of the proteins in the brain, and engineer better tools to study the brain.
Our lab integrates structural and functional studies, protein engineering, and cell/molecular biology to address fundamental and translational challenges in neuroscience. By combining expertise across molecular biology, protein and chemical engineering, and neurobiology, we strive to develop cutting-edge solutions for pressing neurobiological questions, including optogenetics and cancer neuroscience.
