AMG at a Glance
The primary goal of Applied Mechanobiology Group at Korea University is to identify how the forces interact with pathological progression of diverse human diseases. By combining physical sciences and life sciences at the molecular, cellular, tissue & organ level, we develop a new paradigm of medical biotechnology to overcome human health problems.
Mechanobiology is an emerging field of science at the interface of biology and engineering. It focuses on the way that physical forces and changes in cell or tissue mechanics contribute to development, physiology, and disease. A major challenge in the field is understanding mechanotransduction—the molecular mechanism by which cells sense and respond to mechanical signals. While medicine has typically looked for the genetic basis of disease, advances in mechanobiology suggest that changes in cell mechanics, extracellular matrix structure, or mechanotransduction may contribute to the development of many diseases, including atherosclerosis, fibrosis, asthma, osteoporosis, heart failure, and cancer. There is also a strong mechanical basis for many generalized medical disabilities, such as lower back pain, foot and postural injury, deformity, and irritable bowel syndrome. The effectiveness of many of the mechanical therapies already in clinical use shows how important physical forces can be in physiological control. (source:www.wikipedia.org)
Latest Position Openings
Positions are available for a BK Postdoctoral Fellow and/or BK Research Professor in the AMG. We are broadly interested in intra- and extra- cellular biophysics that regulates cellular mechano-regulation mechanisms. Fresh PhD as well as experienced PhD or MD majored in cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, biomaterials, systems biology, and related fields of research are welcomed. Please contact Prof. Kim directly.
We are seeking for enthusiastic graduate students (PhD or MS-PhD integrated). Candidates with prior experiences either in life sciences (cell biology, molecular biology, genomics, etc.) or engineering & physical sciences (computer, chemical, mechanical, materials, physics, etc.) are highly welcomed but not necessary. Refer to KU-KIST Graduate School website for the detailed benefits regarding tuition waiver & monthly stipend.
Motivated undergraduates who seek for professional training in both life sciences and physical sciences are highly welcomed. Interested students may contact PI to start preliminary discussion as to the nature of science.
