Profile

• Dr. Min-Sik Kim is a full professor of the Department of New Biology at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST). He earned his master's degree under Dr. Sang-Won Lee at Korea University and completed his doctorate under Dr. Akhilesh Pandey at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. During his postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University, he constructed, for the first time, a draft map of the human proteome which is a landmark work published in Nature in 2014 (see the paper). In recognition of his outstanding research contribution, he received the 'Albert Lehninger Award,' a prestigious award at Johns Hopkins University. 

• Dr. Kim is interested in understanding how a biological system rearranges its molecular landscape upon perturbation in altered states such as cancer. Towards this end, he seeks to develop technologies to integrate multi-omics data including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, PTM-omics, and metabolomics.
