Jungho Ahn , 안중호

I am a postdoctoral researcher and a fourth-year(Poly Klinic) medical school student in the School of Medicine at CHA University. Prior to CHA University, I received a joint Ph. D. from Georgia Institute of Technology and Seoul National University in 2020, with a major in Mechanical Engineering. My doctoral research at Georgia Tech and Seoul National University focused on developing a three-dimensional (3D) tissue-engineered organ on a chip model to better study vascularized tumor microenvironments. At CHA University, I am interested in reconstituting the uterus microenvironment using micro-engineered techniques.
