Author Information

Hyun Jung Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. After receiving his Ph.D. at Yonsei University in the Republic of Korea, he did extensive postdoctoral research at both the University of Chicago and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University (under Professor Donald Ingber). These efforts resulted in cutting edge breakthroughs in synthetic microbial community research and organomimetic human Gut-on-a-Chip microphysiological system. His research on Gut-on-a-Chip technology leads to the creation of a microfluidic device that that mimics the physiology and pathology of the living human intestine. Since 2015, he has explored novel human host-microbiome ecosystems to discover the disease mechanism and new therapeutics in inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. In collaboration with clinicians, his lab is currently developing disease-oriented, patient-specific models for the advancement of Precision Medicine.
