Professional Summary

Jaehoon Kim is a Research Engineer II at Georgia Tech working at the intersection of immunology and microfluidic bioengineering. His research focuses on how biophysical microenvironments shape T cell behavior, phenotype, and therapeutic function.

He develops microfluidic platforms that recapitulate key physical and adhesive features of tissue entry, enabling controlled analysis of T cell migration, checkpoint dynamics, and functional remodeling. By integrating device engineering with in vitro and in vivo immunological assays, his work aims to identify and enrich T cell subsets with enhanced effector capacity and improved therapeutic potential.

His broader goal is to establish mechanically informed immune cell engineering strategies that can be translated into next-generation adoptive cell therapy workflow
