She studied liver immunology and metabolism during her master's/doctorate integrated course at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. From this study, she investigated the roles of hepatic macrophages via Toll-like receptor 4 and NADPH oxidase 2 in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Kim joined the Seki Laboratory in 2018. She is currently working on the study of liver disease including NAFLD/NASH and ASH. SEND AN EMAIL Jieun Kim, PhD Postdoctoral Scientist Jieun Kim, PhD, is a postdoctoral scientist in the Department of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai. She received her doctorate degree from Pusan National University in the Republic of Korea. Kim joined the Seki Laboratory in 2020. She is currently working on the study of mechanisms in liver metastasis.
