Raymond H. Kim MD, PhD, FRCPC, FCCMG, FACMG
Medical Geneticist, University Health Network, Toronto, CanadaRaymond Kim is currently medical geneticist at the University of Toronto, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Sinai Health System and Hospital for Sick Children. He received his MD/PhD from the University of Toronto, and completed his PhD with Dr Tak Wah Mak at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre using animal models of tumourigenesis. He then completed a residency in Internal Medicine, followed by a fellowship in Medical Genetics at the Hospital for Sick Children with a focus in next generation sequencing in rare diseases.
Clinically he attends a variety of cancer genetics clinics, seeing both adults and children, with a particular emphasis on transition of care and multi-disciplinary models. This includes Von Hippel Lindau disease, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, among others. His research interests lie in the use of novel molecular genetic analyses in patients care and its application in research studies. This includes whole exome sequencing, and whole genome sequencing in high-risk pedigrees and tumours.
