Prof. Yun-Bae Kim | Medicine and Health Sciences | Best Researcher Award | Professor | Chungbuk National University | South Korea

Prof. Yun-Bae Kim, a distinguished professor at the Department of Toxicology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Republic of Korea, is an eminent scholar in the fields of toxicology, neurobiology, and regenerative medicine. Holding both a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) and a Ph.D. in Veterinary Medicine from Seoul National University, Prof. Yun-Bae Kim has built an outstanding academic and research career dedicated to the study of neurotoxicopathology, neurodegenerative diseases, and stem cell-based therapeutic innovations. His research primarily explores the toxicopathologic mechanisms of chemicals, brain aging, and the development of gene-modified stem cells to treat degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy. With over 370 peer-reviewed publications and patents indexed in Scopus, PubMed, and other global databases, Prof. Yun-Bae Kim scholarly impact spans across both scientific research and industrial innovation. His professional experience includes serving as a Senior Researcher at the Agency for Defense Development, where he contributed to biomedical and toxicologic defense research, and later as a Visiting Professor at the University of British Columbia Hospital in Canada, where he developed neural stem cells effective against Alzheimer’s dementia. Prof. Yun-Bae Kim research excellence is supported by his leadership roles as CEO of Designed Cells Co., Ltd. in Korea, Vice-Chair of Qingdao Sinder Designed Stem Cells Co., Ltd. in China, Co-Chair of Designed Cells Europe D.O.O. in Croatia, and Chief Scientific Officer of ThanEver Inc. He has also served as Editor-in-Chief of Laboratory Animal Research for a decade and continues to contribute as an editorial board member or associate editor for several prestigious journals such as Molecules, Journal of Ginseng Research, and Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy. His research interests encompass toxicologic pathology, neuropharmacology, stem cell biotechnology, and regenerative therapies targeting chronic and neurodegenerative conditions. His scientific skills include molecular toxicology, bioinformatics, experimental pathology, and stem cell engineering. Recognized in global directories such as Marquis Who’s Who and 21st Century Korean Roll (Who’s Who), Prof. Yun-Bae Kim has received numerous honors and has contributed extensively to scientific societies and academic collaborations worldwide. His dedication to advancing interdisciplinary biomedical sciences, coupled with his visionary leadership in academia and biotechnology, firmly establishes him as a transformative figure whose continued work promises to enhance global standards in neurotoxicology, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic innovation.
