Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Seongkyun Lim's research focuses on skeletal muscle physiology, particularly in the context of aging, disuse atrophy, and cancer cachexia. Lim has investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle growth following stimuli and has explored sex-based differences in the development of disuse atrophy, observing potentially exacerbated catabolic signaling in female mice.

Further research by Lim examines the metabolic and contractile alterations associated with cancer cachexia in female tumor-bearing mice. This work has identified distinct biphasic transcriptional disruptions in female skeletal muscle compared to males during cancer cachexia progression. Lim has also studied the role of mitochondrial aberrations in disuse atrophy and cancer cachexia, noting differential effects between male and female mice. Recent work has explored the potential of the mitochondrial antioxidant SkQ1 to attenuate muscle wasting and improve contractility in mouse models of cancer cachexia.

Lim has co-authored 42 publications with an h-index of 12 and 465 citations. Lim has served as a Co-Principal Investigator on two NSF grants totaling $775,000, focusing on the dynamic modeling of river ecosystem stability and its relation to cultural resiliency.
