The Department of Pathology at Kyung Hee University College of Medicine is a nationally and globally renowned leader in the study of human disease and professional training in laboratory science. The department hosts multiple collaborative research groups, each specializing in molecular cancer biology, cell signaling pathways, or stem cell biology. These groups conduct rigorous research and foster extensive collaborations to elucidate the pathological mechanisms underlying human diseases.
We explore the interplay between genetic and non-genetic factors in tumor development and progression, investigating their biological significance in human pathophysiology. Additionally, we examine the cellular signaling mechanisms that govern the survival, transition, and death of human cells and tissues in response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli, shedding light on their role in disease pathogenesis.
We investigate the mechanisms driving human diseases, with a focus on embryonic development, neurodevelopment, neuro-degenerative disorders. Using human stem cells, we develop precise disease models that overcome the limitations of traditional systems, allowing for a deeper understanding of pathogenesis. By integrating advanced technologies like gene editing and organoid systems, we replicate patient-specific disease phenotypes in vitro, paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies.

We support the appointment of new faculty members and the establishment of labs that will create strong synergies with existing research areas in the pathology department, including human disease model development, tracking disease progression, and identifying genetic or cellular signaling abnormalities. Opportunities are open in any field that enhances our understanding of human diseases and opens new horizons in pathological concepts.
