    I majored in biophysics in Professor Taeyoung Yoon's lab at SNU during my PhD in Physics at KAIST. My research focused on investigating various cellular network signals mediated by protein complexes using a TIRF microscope. I have expertise in reconstructing endogenous protein complexes while maintaining their intact structure and function. In the Shon lab, I aim to delve deeply into the processes occurring within signaling complexes.
