Overview

Carla F. Kim is affiliated with Boston Children's Hospital in the United States and has contributed extensively to research in Medicine, with a primary focus on Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Molecular Biology, Oncology, Infectious Diseases, and Surgery. Their work spans multiple subfields, addressing important topics related to neonatal respiratory health, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, cancer cells and metastasis, cancer genomics and diagnostics, epigenetics and DNA methylation, infectious encephalopathies and encephalitis, and lung cancer treatments and mutations.

Kim's recent publications include:

  • The aging lung: Physiology, disease, and immunity, 2021, Cell
  • SARS-CoV-2 infection of primary human lung epithelium for COVID-19 modeling and drug discovery, 2021, Cell Reports
  • Genomic and evolutionary classification of lung cancer in never smokers, 2021, Nature Genetics
  • Organoids Model Transcriptional Hallmarks of Oncogenic KRAS Activation in Lung Epithelial Progenitor Cells, 2020, Cell stem cell
  • Alveolar progenitor cells and the origin of lung cancer, 2020, Journal of Internal Medicine

Their frequent co-authors highlight collaborative efforts with Margherita Paschini, Kiran T. Thakur, Carolina García de Alba, Aaron L. Moye, and Roderick T. Bronson.

Kim has published predominantly in venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Neurology
  • UNC Libraries
  • Cell
  • Cell Reports

Kim's research covers a range of topics including:

  • Neonatal Respiratory Health Research
  • Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Studies
  • Cancer Cells and Metastasis
  • Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics
  • Epigenetics and DNA Methylation
  • Infectious Encephalopathies and Encephalitis
  • Lung Cancer Treatments and Mutations

They have developed knowledge in cancer biology particularly related to lung cancer, as seen in their work on alveolar progenitor cells and oncogenic KRAS activation. Their investigations into infectious diseases include COVID-19 modeling through SARS-CoV-2 infection studies of lung epithelium.
