Dr. Kisoo Kim received his PhD from ICube laboratory, jointly affiliated with CNRS and the University of Strasbourg, France in 2019. During his doctoral studies, he spearheaded the development of a method for integrating magnetic resonance elastography with focused ultrasound (FUS) ablation to effectively monitor changes in tissue elasticity resulting from the ablation process. Currently, Dr. Kim is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He leads multiple projects to advance methods for MR-guided ultrasound hyperthermia and MRI methods for monitoring blood-brain barrier opening with MR-guided transcranial focused ultrasound.
