bio
Dr. Nina Kim is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy & Infectious Diseases and Adjunct Professor of Health Systems & Population Health at UW. She works at the Liver Clinic and Madison HIV Clinic at Harborview Medical Center. Her research has focused on real-world treatment outcomes and clinical predictors of liver disease progression in people with HIV, leveraging large-scale electronic health record (EHR) data. Dr. Kim explored the impact of HIV disease severity, alcohol use, and other risk factors on advanced hepatic fibrosis through collaborations with the Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) and the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD), where she serves as co-chair of the Liver Working Groups. In these roles, she mentors early-stage investigators, guiding them in study design, data analysis, and manuscript development. She is also the Associate Editor for UW Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Online, a CDC sponsored web-based curriculum.
Dr. Kim also directs the AID Research Collaboratory (ARC), established to facilitate access to the UW clinical data warehouse and promote a learning health system. ARC serves as a platform for mentoring early-stage investigators in the use of EHR data to conduct observational research and advance data-driven improvements in patient care. Under her leadership, ARC has supported projects ranging from antibiotic stewardship to the evaluation of EHR-based clinical decision support tools.
