Dr. Kim is a recognized expert in the field of melanoma, and his research has focused
on targeted therapy and immunotherapy. His research has helped early clinical development
of BRAF inhibitors, such as vemurafenib, dabrafenib, MEK inhibitors, and trametinib,
which are now standard of care for patients with BRAF mutated melanoma. His research
has also included the clinical investigation of therapy for other mutations, including
cKIT and NRAS and also antiangiogenic drugs as well as novel immunotherapy, such as
ipilimumab, anti-PD1 antibodies and cancer vaccines. He is also a senior editor for
