Bio: 

Since earning his Ph.D. at Georgia Tech, Dr. Kim has been working in the field of DNA damage repair. Recently, his lab has been investigating how phytochemicals induce DNA damage and their potential nematocidal and anti-tumor effects using the C. elegans platform. So far, they have identified numerous novel anti-tumor, cytotoxic phytochemicals and validated their potential. In this talk, Dr. Kim will introduce the C. elegans model system and share findings on the anti-tumor effects of herbal extracts studied over the past several years and published in research papers.
