About the Lab
Professor Dohun Kim's research lab focuses on translational biomedical research with a strong emphasis on clinical epidemiology, metabolic health, and regenerative medicine. The lab investigates the links between metabolic syndrome and cancer risk, explores prognostic biomarkers such as heart rate variability in hospice patients, and develops stem cell-based strategies for diabetes therapy using non-genetic differentiation techniques. Additionally, the lab contributes to energy materials research by studying moisture effects on photovoltaic module degradation, highlighting interdisciplinary applications in health and sustainability.

15This study has outlined grounding data in identifying patients who are at risk of QoL impairment. Policy makers should direct their interests to these individuals and provide appropriate management.
In a PV module, the relative humidity (rh) of a front encapsulant is different from that of a backside encapsulant (rh back ). In this study, the effective humidity (rh eff ) in a PV module was investigated to study the effects of moisture variation on the degradation rate (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>R</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>D</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math>). rh eff represents uniform
Background: The association of metabolic syndrome and its components with the risk of thyroid cancer is unclear. Thus, we conducted a large-scale, nationwide, population-based, cohort study to investigate this relationship. Methods: We studied 9,890,917 adults without thyroid cancer from the Korean National Health Insurance health checkup database from January 1 to December 31, 2009. Individuals with at least three of the following five components were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome: abdomina
Our results provide evidence that ES cells could differentiate to functioning and transplantable mature pancreatic islet-like cell clusters using our newly developed differentiation method without employing gene transfer technique. This study may lead to a basis for production of indefinite sources of islets that could be applicable for future clinical trial.
We examined the association between heart rate variability (HRV) and survival duration to evaluate the usefulness of HRV as a prognostic factor for hospice cancer patients. In terminally ill cancer patients who visited the Hospice clinic, we checked demographic data, Karnofsky performance scale (KPS), HRV, dyspnea, anorexia, as well as fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol. After following up their duration of survival, we examined meaningful prognostic factors for predicting life expectan
