Shin-Il Kim's Biography



Shin-Il Kim, Director, Division of Research & Development, aceRNA Technologies Co., Ltd.

Shin-Il Kim is currently a director in the division of research & development at aceRNA Technologies Co., Ltd.

He obtained his Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Emery Bresnick in Molecular Biology from University of Wisconsin – Madison, U.S.A. in 2008. He then began his studies of TGF-B signaling in cancer model as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Derynck Rik at the University of California – San Francisco, U.S.A.

In 2011, he moved to Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) at Kyoto University and learned genome engineering techniques in human ES/iPS cells for nearly 7 years with Prof. Woltjen Knut. He became an assistant professor in 2017.

We developed synthetic RNA switches for isolating specific cell populations derived from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). miR-208a-switch efficiently isolated functional cardiomyocytes and a switch encoding the apoptosis inducer Bim enriched for cardiomyocytes without cell sorting. This approach is broadly applicable, as miRNA switches can be programmed for purification of various cell types. Thus, RNA switches could be useful to purify desired cell types for future therapeutic applications and regenerative medicine.
