Laboratory of Chemical Biology
at Yonsei University
Welcome to Prof. YoungSoo Kim's Laboratory of Chemical Biology (https://chembio.yonsei.ac.kr)! This website provides information of our research projects, members, publications, lab activities, pictures, and media exposure.
Laboratory of Chemical Biology focuses on drug discovery, diagnostic technology development, and pathological understanding for Alzheimer's disease based on Chemical Biology. We integrate multidisciplinary approaches such as peptide engineering, molecular and cellular biochemical techniques, animal behavioral tests for learning and memory, brain imaging/tissue analysis, and clinical sample investigation to study Alzheimer's disease. Located at Yonsei University's International Campus in Songdo, Incheon, our laboratory benefits from a collaborative research infrastructure with strong industry-academic partnerships.
Laboratory of Chemical Biology is a part of College of Pharmacy at Yonsei University, and is affiliated with Department of Pharmacy, Department of Integrative Biotechnology, and Department of Industrial Pharmaceutical Sciences.
