Sung Min originally hails from South Korea, where he embarked on his academic journey during his master's course at Yonsei University. It was there that he first encountered the captivating world of the small nematode C. elegans. Fascinated by the potential of using genetic model systems to study genetic diseases. For his Ph.D., Sung Min sought further expertise under the guidance of Dr. Michael Miller in the lab at UAB. His research delved into the neurological disorders such as ALS and SMA. Following the successful completion of his Ph.D., Sung Min embarked on a new chapter by joining Marc Hammarlund's lab at Yale University. There, he explored the intriguing realms of nerve system recovery in the face of neurological diseases or injuries.

In 2018, Sung Min made the exciting move to Florida. Aside from his passion for scientific exploration, Sung Min cherishes his role as a loving father to two daughters. Sung Min enjoys cooking dishes, Disney World or St. August's beach, watching football games, KPOP music, and wuxia novels.

My favorite way to pass the time in lab is to listen to True Crime podcasts or audiobooks. I also welcome a variety of background music. I love the British sci-fi show Doctor Who making me a Whovian. I also am an MFM Murderino and Morbid Weirdo. 

My fascination of horror and the macabre extend into literature with my all-time favorite the OG Edgar Allan Poe.

I left a small town in the panhandle of Florida for Gainesville, where I am a senior studying zoology with a minor in pathogenesis. Once I graduate, I hope to further contribute to research, first in an industrial setting but eventually in academia. I have one cat, Kevin, who is my best friend and the biggest goofball. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, cooking, and exploring nature.  

I am a neuroscience major with an interest in medicine. My hobbies include bodybuilding, basketball, and I enjoy playing video games with friends. I also love watching movies and listening to music. My favorite movies are The Dark Knight Trilogy.

I'm a biochemistry major with love for all things science! I really enjoy raising plants, so I have over 10 at home. I love mystery novels, particularly anything by Agatha Christie. I also enjoy crocheting, baking, and listening to tons of different genres of music.

Hi, I am a UF alumni with a bachelor's in biology and currently in a post-bacc program. I am really interested in science and medicine and hope to become a physician. During my free time, I like to listen to new music, play tennis, and mountain bike. I also enjoy volunteering and fixing up houses and cars.
