Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kyounghyun Kim is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology. His research focuses on gene expression regulation in neoplastic diseases, with a particular emphasis on cancer-related molecular mechanisms. Kim's work investigates the role of specific transcription factors, such as Sp1, and nuclear receptors in the development and progression of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer.

His publications explore how endocrine-disrupting chemicals can influence disease pathogenesis and how the loss of certain nuclear receptors can augment signaling pathways involved in cancer growth. Kim also has research interests in medical imaging, as indicated by his work on photon-counting detectors for bone mineral density measurement. He has a significant publication record, with 136 total publications and a citation count of 6,663, contributing to his designation as a highly cited researcher. He leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Lisa K. Brents, Yuet‐Kin Leung, and Nancy J. Rusch.
