Dong-Hyun Kim

Dr Kim is Associate Professor in Analytical Bioscience in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Nottingham, which is ranked 5th in the world for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (QS World Rankings, 2022). He is Director of the Centre for Analytical Bioscience which is a successful mass spectrometry (MS) facility that now houses extensive specialist mass spectrometry instrumentation including high resolution MS (Thermo Exactive and QExactive Orbitrap), ion trap MS (Thermo LTQ Velos) and quadruple linear ion trap MS (QTRAP 4000 and 6500). This facility provides the high-quality research environment for metabolomics, lipidomics, fluxomics, metabolic pathway profiling, and biomarker identification analysis. His role includes coordination of internal and external project work as well as fostering interdisciplinary applications of MS-based analytical techniques. He is also Associate Director of the Nottingham Green Chemicals Beacon of Excellence - a multi-disciplinary investment (£17m) in sustainable processing encompassing industrial biotechnology, process engineering and green chemistry. His research career has focused on the advancement and application of MS-based methods in order to solve scientific problems across the engineering/physical/life sciences disciplines attracting recent funding (>£4m) from various funding sources including BBSRC, NIHR, ESPRC CASE, MRC, Brain Tumour Charity and RSC Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund. He has a strong track record in fostering collaborative science where novel analytical approaches can make significant impacts on new areas of investigation. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles in top analytical and multidisciplinary journals on analytical science/biochemical methods and is currently supervising >20 PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and experimental officers in his research group.
