Hubert Kim, Ph.D., M.D.

Orthopedic surgeon

Dr. Hubert Kim is director of the UCSF Cartilage Repair and Regeneration Center, located at the UCSF Orthopaedic Institute. Kim specializes in the treatment of arthritis and localized cartilage injuries of the knee, hip, shoulder and ankle. His research focuses on the mechanisms involved in cell death after articular cartilage injury and ways to limit this process. His lab also studies the use of mesenchymal stem cells for bone and cartilage repair as well as for muscle and nerve injuries.

Kim is a graduate of Stanford University and the Stanford University School of Medicine where he earned both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. He completed a general surgery internship and orthopedic surgery residency at UCSF before joining the faculty in 1998.
