Research summary
AI-generated

Kukbin Choi's work focuses on heart and lung transplantation, mechanical circulatory support (devices like ECMO that temporarily take over heart/lung function), and cardiac surgery outcomes such as coronary artery bypass grafting. Research combines clinical outcomes studies using national surgical databases with laboratory investigations into the biological mechanisms of lung fibrosis (scarring). This work is aimed at improving surgical techniques, organ transplant protocols, and understanding disease processes that affect transplant and surgical patients.
