We are thrilled to announce that two of our dedicated lab members, Juyoung Seong and Suhyun Kim, have successfully passed their final doctoral dissertation defenses. Juyoung Seong joined our group in March 2021 as an MS/Ph.D. integrated program student. Her doctoral research focused on advanced strategies for motor neuron and neuromuscular junction regeneration. During her […]

Seohyun Kim, who joined our laboratory in September 2024, has successfully completed her Master’s thesis defense. Her graduate research focused on developing lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based CRISPR delivery platforms. She worked exceptionally hard to optimize LNP formulations using diverse molecular/cellular biology techniques and in vivo animal models, significantly enhancing the delivery efficiency of both CRISPR RNPs […]

Jaehyun Park has successfully completed his Ph.D. dissertation defense. Since entering the Ph.D. program in March 2023, Jaehyun’s research has primarily focused on discovering multi-omics-based biomarkers to identify key target genes associated with various respiratory diseases. His outstanding work successfully demonstrates the potential of utilizing these markers for next-generation diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Huge congratulations […]

Yonghoe Koo, who joined our laboratory in September 2020 as an MS/Ph.D. integrated program student, has successfully passed his final doctoral dissertation defense. During his time in our lab, Yonghoe developed skin-attachable sensors based on biodegradable porous silicon materials to track and monitor tissue regeneration processes. He also carried out diverse foundational studies on modulating […]

Minjong Kim successfully passed his Ph.D. dissertation defense. Minjong joined our group in 2019 as one of the early members and played a central role in setting up our laboratory. Throughout his time in the lab, he has successfully conducted various research projects on CRISPR delivery systems. Huge congratulations to Dr. Kim on this incredible […]

Jinhee Mun successfully passed her Ph.D. pre-defense. Jinhee is currently conducting her research as a visiting graduate student in Prof. Gabriel Kwong’s laboratory at Georgia Tech. Her research comprehensively spans multi-omics-based cancer diagnosis, drug resistance, and advanced cancer therapies utilizing metastasis inhibition and immune modulation. Congratulations to Jinhee on passing this major milestone in her […]
