Dr Mina Kim receives £2.1 million Career Development Award
We are delighted to have supported Dr Mina Kim’s successful application for a Career Development Award from the Medical Research Council. Dr Kim has been awarded £2.1 million to develop a sensitive functional lung MRI mapping tool for chronic lung diseases. She is also being supported by The Cystic Fibrosis Trust to track how regional lung function changes over time in people with CF.
Dr Kim was a recipient of a BIOREME Small Starter Grant which enabled her to visit and initiate a collaboration with the Functional and Metabolic Imaging Group (FMIG) in the centre for advanced magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy at The University of Pennsylvania.
“The BIOREME Starter Grant allowed me to build an essential collaboration with The University of Pennsylvania, one of the key collaborators on this fellowship award””
Dr Kim is a Senior Research Associate at University College London, Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC) and Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. She will begin her fellowship in summer 2024 and we look forward to supporting her on this exciting project going forward.
