Jong Sung Kim

Biography

I joined the Human Toxicology Program at the University of Iowa in 2007.

Thesis TitleEvaluating pulmonary toxicity of engineered metal-based nanoparticles using in vivo and in vitro models

AdvisorPeter Thorne, Ph.D.

Year of Graduation: 2011

Program: Ph.D.

Current Position: Associate Professor, Occupational and Environmental Health

Current Employer/Institution: University of Iowa

Current Research Area:

My long-term research goal is to understand the potential impacts of emerging contaminants using an integrated approach combining multi-scale and multi-disciplinary sciences. Derived from my main research goal, my research interests are to understand the potential risks and adverse effects of emerging contaminants, mainly nanomaterials and pharmaceutically active compounds, on the environment and human health.
