Translational Medicine

Our program encompasses everything from molecular discovery to phase 3 clinical trials. Therefore, all of our studies are performed with the central mission of translating our scientific observations to treating diseases in patients. Given our unique expertise in type 2 immunity and neuroimmunology, we are also able to inform existing therapies for allergic and chronic pruritic disorders.

Brian Kim Lab

About the Lab

The long-term goals of the Kim Lab are to understand the mechanisms by which epithelial cells, immune cells, and the nervous system interact to regulate skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and the sensation of itch.

Our Services

The Kim Lab has unique expertise in basic approaches and techniques in innate immunity, neuroimmunology, and behavioral modelling of chronic itch. Additionally, we actively design translational, clinical research studies, and interventional clinical trials. Thus, we are able to provide state of the art guidance on everything from in vitro studies to phase 3 clinical trials to better understand cutaneous immunity, inflammation, and itch.
