Research summary
AI-generated

Jungsu Kim studies the biological mechanisms behind Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative conditions, focusing on how brain inflammation, immune cells (such as microglia and monocytes), and genetic factors like the APOE gene contribute to disease. The work uses modern tools including single-cell RNA sequencing, human brain organoids (lab-grown 3D tissue models), neuronal reprogramming, and mouse models to explore how the brain deteriorates and how it might be protected.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
