Faculty member at Massachusetts General Hospital and the MGB Heart and Vascular Institute, with incoming appointments as Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Associate Member at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Min Seo Kim is a physician-scientist whose research integrates human genetics and AI to improve the prediction, prevention, and treatment of cardiometabolic conditions with a particular focus on obesity, biological aging, and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. His training spans medicine, public health, statistical genetics, and computational biology. He earned his MD from Korea University College of Medicine and an MS in digital health and computational genomics from the Samsung Advanced Institute for Health Sciences and Technology (SAIHST). He then completed postdoctoral training at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

His group works across human genetics, multi-omics, clinical informatics, clinical trials, and AI for scientific discovery, with the shared goal of turning molecular data into decisions that reach both patients and populations. He has authored more than 200 publications, with main-authored work in Nature, Nature Medicine, Cell Metabolism, European Heart Journal, JACC, JAMA Cardiology, and several Lancet portfolio journals, among others.

Before moving to Boston, he served as a primary care physician at public medical centers and as a public health official at the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. He is a Lead Collaborator of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Network, a role held by fewer than one percent of its members, and he leads the Burden of Heritable Risk study with faculty at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. He also serves as a strategic advisor and expert evaluator for the Google AI Co-scientist program and collaborates with Google DeepMind on agentic AI for scientific discovery. He is an editorial board member of BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.
