Dr. Kim is a project scientist at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR) and her primary focus is in applying innovative techniques of correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) adapted to solve biological projects. Her research explores the development of methodologies and techniques to retrieve information from biological specimens using a wide variety of imaging modalities and increasingly retrieving and integrating information across those modalities using advanced imaging techniques such as light microscopy, electron microscopy (EM), x-ray microscopy, and serial block face scanning EM. She has expertise in several areas of neuroscience and is leading various projects studying visual pathway connectome and neurodegenerative diseases using CLEM.
