Chan-Hee Jo, DVM, PhD

Chan-Hee Jo, DVM, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in Dan Garry and Mary Garry’s lab at the University of Minnesota. She specializes in porcine embryo cloning and human-pig chimeric embryo studies. As a Leducq Fellow, her primary focus is on establishing an in vitro long-term culture system for porcine embryos and developing strategies to enhance the efficiency of human-pig chimeric embryos. Additionally, she focused on engineering humanized endothelial lineages in gene edited pigs using blastocyst complementation and SCNT.
