Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Hyun-Ki Kang conducts research focused on toxicokinetics and genotoxicity, particularly concerning nitrosamines. His work has investigated the effects of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in Sprague Dawley rats, examining exposure routes such as nose-only inhalation, intraperitoneal injection, and oral gavage. Kang has also studied the pharmacokinetics of nicotine and its metabolites in rats following various administration methods, including inhalation, oral gavage, and intravenous infusion.

His research contributes to understanding the biological fate and potential harm of these compounds. Kang has published a total of six publications, with an h-index of 5 and 43 citations. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Matthew Bryant, Sherry M. Lewis, Shu-Chieh Hu, and Paul C. Howard, with whom he shares four publications.
