    I majored in biophysics in Prof. Taeyoung Yoon's lab at SNU during my PhD in Physics at KAIST. I investigated various cellular network signals mediated by protein complexes under a TIRF microscope. I am good at reconstruction of endogenous protein complexes with intact structure and function. In Shon lab, I hope to deeply investigate what is happening inside the signaling complexes.
