Education
2009-2013 Ph.D. School of Chemical & Biological Engineering, Seoul National University

Professional Experience
2014-present, Professor, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhejiang University, PRC
2013-2014, Senior Researcher, Center for Nanoparticle Research, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), ROK

Research Interests
Specialized in the synthesis, assembly, and biomedical applications of nanomaterials.

Our recent research is focused on the rational design, synthesis and assembly of biocompatible and functional nanoscale materials for cancer diagnosis and therapy, drug/gene delivery, wound healing, stem cell therapy, protein immobilization, biocatalysis, etc. We also interested in preclinical ADME (in vivo metabolism and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic analysis) and toxicological evaluation of nanostructured materials, and the translation of advanced nanomaterials into clinical applications.
