Professor Jong-Ho Kim's research lab focuses on interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, and health behavior sciences. The lab explores the development of advanced functional materials—particularly capacitive force sensors and stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoparticles—for medical and wearable applications, while also investigating the psychological and behavioral impacts of leisure and physical activity on stress and well-being in university students. Research directions span from designing smart biomaterials for targeted cancer therapy to understanding social and political dynamics in international trade through a two-level game framework.

This study aims at investigating the in-depth information regarding impacts of physical exercise on psychological well-being in university students with an emphasis on coping with stress in the context of leisure. A qualitative research, based on interview to draw findings in an inductive way, was conducted. Nine university students (N = 9) in a large mid-west university took part in a face- to face, semi-structured interviews using ten open-ended questions with respect to benefits of leisure ti
Force sensors have attracted tremendous attention owing to their applications in various fields such as touch screens, robots, smart scales, and wearable devices. The force sensors reported so far have been mainly focused on high sensitivity based on delicate microstructured materials, resulting in low reproducibility and high fabrication cost that are limitations for wide applications. As an alternative, we demonstrate a novel capacitive-type force sensor with enhanced performance owing to the
Intracellular thiol can trigger effective drug release from polymeric nanoparticles having multiple disulfide linkages in the hydrophobic domain.
Background: Research on health behavior within the context of leisure and stress coping in university students is limited. Purpose: This study investigated the associations between leisure, health behavior, and perceived stress in university students. Other impacts, such as gender, grade point average (GPA), body mass index (BMI), and parents’ education on stress and health behavior, were also examined. Method: Researchers employed a cross-sectional research design by distributing surveys in cla
Nanotechnology, including self-aggregated nanoparticles, has shown high effectiveness in the treatment of solid tumors. To overcome the limitations of conventional cancer therapies and promote therapeutic efficacy, a combination of PDT and chemotherapy can be considered an effective strategy for cancer treatment. This study presents the development of tumor-targeting polysialic acid (PSA) nanoparticles for chemo-PDT to increase the cellular uptake and cytotoxic effect in cancer cells. Chlorin e6
