    Biography

    Jaejun Kim received his B.S. in Veterinary Medicine from Seoul National University. After that, he became a PhD student in College of Medicine at Seoul National University. His graduate research focused on the molecular mechanisms of direct reprogramming in the formation of induced stem cells. He is currently a member of the Willenbring lab in the Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine, where he is investigating AAV capsids for liver-targeted gene therapy.
