Ki-Hyun Kim graduated from Ulsan university with a master’s degree (medical science) and joined the Ph.D. graduate program at Hanyang university in 2023. He conducted research on the control of autoimmune diseases using transgenic mice. Now, he is interested in the molecular mechanism that affects regulatory T-cell activation.

Hyeon-Jeong Kim graduated from Hanyang University in Life Science in 2022. She joined the cellular immunology lab for MS program at Hanyang University. She is interested in the regulation and function of cytokine and transcription factors associated with autoimmune disease and developing a therapeutic drug for autoimmune disease.

Bum Joon Kim graduated from Hanyang University and earned a bachelor’s degree in Life science. Fascinated by the sophisticated immune system, he joined the lab as an integrated Ph.D. student in 2023. He has a great interest in Tissue Tregs, especially Brain Tregs. He is currently establishing a model for Skin resident CD4 T cells.

Yeo Jeong Hong joined as a MS candidate student in the cellular immunology lab at Hanyang University in 2022. She is interested in the conversion of Th17 into Treg by using CTLA-4 signaling peptide.

Thesis title; Role of the cytoplasmic domain of CTLA-4 in regulatory T cell conversion to inhibit autoimmunity
