    Alexander Kim M.D. is currently a Vascular Surgery Fellow with the UCSF Department of Surgery, Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. He undertook undergraduate studies at University of Illinois at Chicago majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. He received a medical degree from University of Illinois at Chicago - College of Medicine and was a member of the GPPA BS/MD program.

    Between 2019-2021, Dr. Kim participated in the Surgical Innovations Program at UCSF under an R25 NIH training grant under the mentorship of Dr. Hanmin Lee, Dr. Michael Harrison, and Dr. Michael Conte.

    Dr. Kim's clinical interest is in vascular surgery. His research interest is in acute vascular inflammation and the interactions of endogenous bioactive lipids that influence its resolution. His research has involved cellular and animal models of acute vascular injury and inflammation, and he has been involved in projects investigating potential therapeutic compounds and novel delivery platforms to modulate the inflammatory response to promote functional vascular remodeling and attenuate neointimal hyperplasia.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
