Yunbok Kim is a postdoctorial associate in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his PhD in neuroscience in 2005 from Ajou University.
Since joining the Moghaddam Lab in 2006, Yunbok’s research focuses on the dopamine’s role during appetitive and aversive conditioning tasks.
