Timeline
Kim Jin-soo is a chemist, biologist, and entrepreneur. He was CEO and CSO, ToolGen, Inc., is a professor in the Department of Chemistry of Seoul National University and director of the Center for Genome Engineering. His research team has developed and improved several types of programmable nucleases, specifically zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), TAL effector nucleases (TALENs), and RNA-guided engineered nucleases (RGENs). In 2018, he was a Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher in the cross-field category and in the biology and biochemistry category in 2019.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a widely used genetic tool but lacked methods to test its accuracy genome-wide. In 2015, Kim's IBS Center, Seoul National University, and ToolGen jointly published a paper in Nature Methods outlining their technique named Digenome-seq which locates on-target and off-target sequences in CRISPR-Cas9. He has continued to research increasing the accuracy of the process.
He first worked as a research associate at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a period of just under three years. In 1997, he became a principal investigator at the Samsung Biomedical Research Institute. In 1999, he left that position to be the CEO and CSO of ToolGen; a company he founded. ToolGen is a biotech company based on CRISPR technology focusing on human therapies, and molecular breeding in plants and animals. In 2005, the company was among the Top 10 Biotech Companies to Watch in Asia at the Pacific Rim Forum/China Council for the Promotion of Industrial Trade. In that same year, he left his CEO position and started working at Seoul National University as an assistant professor, then associate and then full professor. From 2014, he became the founding director of the Center for Genome Engineering under the Institute for Basic Science (IBS).
Kim studied chemistry at Seoul National University from 1983 and received a B.S. in 1987 and M.S. in 1989. Changing majors to biochemistry, he received a Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994. During the final two years of his doctorate program, he was the recipient of the Steenbock Predoctoral Fellowship.
