Dr. Kim is a professor of Biostatistics in the UC Davis School of Medicine with expertise in statistical genetics/genomics in particular and in high-throughput –omics research in general.  Her research interests include disease biomarkers, quantitative genetics, post- genomics, and statistical and research methodology. Particular emphasis areas include the use of statistical methodologies and bioinformatics tools to identify disease-related genes and small molecules to understand disease mechanisms by integrating different types of -omics data. She focuses on computational and statistical approaches to disease biomarker discovery, including early detection of disease and predictions of responses to therapeutic interventions and risk of patient stratification. She has considerable preclinical research experience with rodent models and multifactorial traits and clinical therapeutic studies for neurodevelopmental disorders.  Dr. Kim has participated in interdisciplinary team science projects addressing the genetic component of multi-factorial complex disorders.
