Dr. Bo Kyoung Kim received her PhD from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) under the Roche Doctoral Fellowship program, conducting her research at F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, Switzerland and at Genentech in San Francisco, USA. Her work focused on investigating how different cell death pathways interplay to drive retinal ganglion cell degeneration across diverse preclinical ocular models. Her research explores how cell death and inflammation contribute to neurodegeneration, with the aim of developing therapeutic strategies for ocular diseases.
