Research summary
AI-generated

Sung Joo Kim's research focuses on transplantation medicine, especially xenotransplantation - the transplantation of organs and tissues (such as kidneys, livers, blood vessels, and pancreatic islets) from genetically modified pigs into non-human primates and, eventually, humans as a potential solution to organ shortages. The work also covers related topics like immune tolerance, diabetes treatment through islet transplantation, and monitoring infection risks (such as porcine cytomegalovirus) in cross-species transplants. This research is largely preclinical, involving animal models, with some clinical trial protocol development for human application.
