OverviewAI-generated summary
Seong‐Jae Kim's research focuses on the microbiology of tattoo and permanent makeup inks, as well as tattoo-associated infections. He has investigated the presence of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in commercial inks, including those previously recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. His work has identified phylogenetically diverse bacteria capable of decolorizing azo dyes, a component often found in these inks. Kim has also explored the historical patterns, causes, and epidemiology of tattoo-associated infections dating back to the 19th century.
His research network includes collaborators such as Ohgew Kweon, Sandeep Kondakala, and Steven L. Foley from the National Center for Toxicological Research, along with Mark E. Hart from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Kim has authored 17 publications with 190 citations and an h-index of 5.
