Seung-Kee Kim, PhD

Dr. Kim, from Korea, is currently an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery (Pediatric Neurosurgery) at the Seoul National University College of Medicine. For the past two years, he has been on sabbatical in the Neurosurgical Oncology Laboratory at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Dr. Kim is focused on the development of novel local therapy for the treatment of human brain tumors. With Dr. Menon, Dr. Kim is conducting studies that employ powerful anti-tumor agents encased in biodegradable polymers which when placed in the surgical cavity will slowly degrade and release the agent into the tumor site, thereby inhibiting tumor growth.
