(February 15, 2024) Webinar: Intravital Live Animal Cellular Imaging in Immunology and Transplantation

Register

Over the past decade, intravital microscopy (IVM) has evolved into an indispensable technique in various biomedical sciences, particularly impacting fields such as immunology and transplantation. It has proven invaluable in studying dynamic processes within live animals, contributing to our understanding of immunological responses and transplantation-related phenomena. Notably, it facilitates in vivo visualizations of gene expression, protein activity, cell trafficking, and physiological responses to external stimuli.

Through Dr. Pilhan Kim’s presentation, we will delve into intravital imaging of diverse organs, including skin, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, small intestine, and more. Additionally, recent studies will be presented, utilizing real-time intravital imaging to investigate the dynamic cellular-level pathophysiology of various human diseases in preclinical mouse models, explicitly focusing on immunology and transplantation. Furthermore, Dr. Reza Abdi from Brigham Women’s Hospital will provide practical insights into the targeted delivery of drugs for refractory diseases, shedding light on innovative approaches in the context of immunology and transplantation research.

    Pilhan Kim received his bachelor’s and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University (Korea) in 2000 and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2010, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School (Boston, USA) with a cross-disciplinary postdoctoral fellowship from Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP). In 2010, he joined the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) where he is currently a tenured Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Nanoscience and Technology. His main research interests focus on systemic cellular-level visualization of various preclinical model organism to investigate complex pathophysiology of human disease, leading to the development of an advanced in vivo cellular imaging technology based on an ultrafast laser-scanning intravital microscopy system.
