Education and Training:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seoul National University, BS<\/p>\n

Stanford University, PhD<\/p>\n

Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Postdoc<\/p>\n

Areas of Interest:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our overarching goal is to understand how proteolytic switches are designed and actuated to induce rapid changes in cell morphology, behavior, and identity. We combine chemical biology, proteomics\/genomics, and zebrafish models. We are also interested in the aberrant (de)activation of developmental proteases in aging and age-related diseases. Ultimately, we want to identify a combination of protease inhibitors\/activators that can modulate cell fate or cure diseases \u2013 i.e., Yamanaka factors in the form of protease-activity modulating chemicals.<\/p>\n
