Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Kim is an Assistant Professor and PI at UConn Health who applies sequencing technologies and bioinformatics to dissect inflammation and immune cell roles in chronic liver diseases, with a particular focus on alcohol-associated and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. With eight years of post-PhD experience spanning Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Maryland, he blends computational genomics with wet-lab insight to study how pattern recognition receptors like C-type lectin receptors amplify innate immune responses to gut-derived microbial signals. His work links macrophage polarization and PRR signaling to gut-barrier dysfunction and systemic inflammation, uncovering understudied CLR pathways that shape NFκB and inflammasome activation. Trained in cell biology and chemical engineering, he combines mechanistic curiosity from yeast genetics with translational studies in human-relevant disease models, enabling creative molecular and bioinformatic tool development.
