Principal Investigator
Sunghoon Kim, Ph.D.
Sunghoon received his B.S. in Physics and Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Bioscience from Pohang University of Science and Technology. He conducted his postdoctoral research in Dr. Nahum Sonenberg's lab at McGill University and in Dr. Prerana Shrestha's lab at Stony Brook University. His primary research interest is the molecular contributions of eukaryotic mRNA translation to brain development, function, and disease. Outside of research, Sunghoon enjoys playing baseball, running, and learning French.
