Kee-Hong Kim studies how diet, obesity, and metabolism affect health, using mouse models, cell cultures, and the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as experimental systems. Much of the work examines how natural food compounds (plant extracts, peptides, and polyphenols like piceatannol) influence fat storage, liver function, inflammation, and lifespan, with additional projects touching on cancer-related muscle/fat wasting and gut bacteria linked to stomach cancer risk.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak around 2020, a decline through 2023, and modest, lower-volume activity in recent years (about 3-4 papers annually on average over the last five years).
