Bio
Biography
Dr. Kims research is focused on translational research projects and clinical trials in renal cell cancer. Her research aims encompass discovering predictive as well as prognostic blood and tissue based biomarkers which can be applied in the clinical management of renal cell cancer patients. Dr. Kim also leads the renal cell cancer program development at Johns Hopkins. She completed her medical training and residency at University of Southern California and hematology and medical oncology fellowship at The Cleveland Clinic. She is board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology and has a growing clinic for patients with kidney cancer and bladder cancer.
