Shim Jiwon

Shim Jiwon is a Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University. His research focuses on developmental biology, genetics, and immunology, with an emphasis on understanding the long-range regulation of hematopoiesis and the functions of immune cells beyond their traditional roles. His work explores how organs interact to maintain homeostasis, how stem/progenitor cells respond to environmental changes, and the evolution of immune cells. Shim's laboratory investigates inter-organ signaling and hematopoietic systems, contributing to the broader understanding of biological processes through interdisciplinary approaches.

Jiwon Shim is a researcher at Seoul National University whose work focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying hematopoiesis and immune responses in model organisms, particularly Drosophila. Their research explores how systemic and nutritional signals regulate blood progenitor maintenance, oxidative stress, and immune cell function. Shim's studies also investigate the role of metabolic and environmental factors in immune competency and stress sensing. Through single-cell transcriptomic analyses and functional genomic approaches, they contribute to understanding the interplay between cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, and immune homeostasis in Drosophila. Their work has implications for broader biological processes in stress response and immune regulation.
