Welcome to the Kim Innovation Laboratory for Image-Guided Interventions. At the “KIMNOVATION” lab we are at the forefront of cerebrovascular research, conducting investigations into a diverse range of disorders affecting both intracranial and extracranial vessels, including brain aneurysms, congenital malformations, and strokes.

The heart of our lab is a state-of-the-art neurointerventional facility, led by our Scientific Directors Drs. Terence Gade and Visish Srinivasan, committed to translational research in cerebrovascular diseases. Established in 2022 through the generous support of the Kim Family, KIMNOVATION is located in the Smilow Center for Translational Research at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.

The lab, comprising a 450 sq. ft angiographic suite, animal prep room, and control room, facilitates a wide spectrum of experiments covering both microsurgical and interventional radiology techniques. It is fully equipped with endovascular and microsurgical tools.

KIMNOVATION shares space with the Penn Image-Guided Interventions (PIGI) Lab, a part of the Departments of Radiology and Cancer Biology led by Dr. Terence Gade.
