Research Field
Professor Jeong Hoon Kim runs the Fight-against Angiogenesis-Related Blindness (FARB) laboratory, consisting of 13 researchers, including one associate professor, two research professors, and ten researchers, including three clinical doctors.Research fields include molecular mechanisms focusing on the blood-retinal barrier and retinal neovascularization, and preclinical studies using animal models for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy prematurity, and retinoblastoma, and translational research across clinical studies in patients.
