Arum Lim

Arum Lim is a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, where she investigates the complex connections between psychological health and cardiovascular well-being. She earned her PhD in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University and her BSN and MSN from Yonsei University in South Korea.

Her research focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms that link psychological symptoms—particularly those related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD)—to cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. By integrating blood biomarkers, imaging markers, and behavioral health measures, Dr. Lim aims to uncover pathways that can inform early detection and targeted interventions under the mentorship of Dr. Jessica Gill.
