Rate My Professor Hyungsik Lim

Lim's academic interests encompass gene expression, neurodegenerative disorders, glaucoma, and biophysics, with a focus on vision science and advanced imaging techniques such as multiphoton microscopy for retinal studies. His research has contributed to understanding glaucoma pathogenesis, including axonal microtubule degradation in mouse models. Key publications include "Differential protection by nicotinamide in a mouse model of glaucoma," published in PLOS ONE in 2024 with Vinessia Boodram, and the preprint "Amplified MS2 labeling reveals heterogeneous dynamics of RNA granules in the live murine brain." Previously at Hunter College, he received a grant from the BrightFocus Foundation for "Investigating Early Pathogenic Events of Glaucoma by Second-Harmonic Generation." Lim presented "Multiphoton Microscopic Imaging of Retina" at the Oxyopia Vision Science Seminar in February 2023. As a faculty member in the Program in Neuroscience, he accepts new graduate students, reviews applications, and leads a lab team comprising research technician Grace Cooper, postdoctoral researcher Daniel Larbi (OD/PhD), and PhD student Yutong Liu in Neuroscience.
