Jean K Lim, PhD
About Me
The Lim Lab (www.thelimlab.com) is dedicated to advancing our understanding of viral pathogenesis: why some people are more susceptible than others, and how various conditions influence disease outcomes in humans. Our research investigates viral infection across cells, animals, human tissues, and clinical settings. By combining in vivo, ex vivo, and patient-based approaches, including animal models, human tissue explants and organoids, and patient-derived samples, we aim to reveal the genetic, cellular and immunological mechanisms that shape viral pathogenesis and host immune responses.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
