Introducing new member of Bio2Q
We are excited to welcome Dr. Seongmoon Jo as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Bio-2 Core of Bio2Q.
“Hello, I am Seongmoon Jo, and I am pleased to join Bio2Q as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Nadinath Nillegoda’s laboratory. I received my Ph.D. in Medical Science from Yonsei University in South Korea and previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis. My research background spans stem cell biology, hematopoiesis, neuroscience, and disease modeling. I have experience with stem cell-derived organoid systems and a range of in vivo experimental approaches. At Bio2Q, I plan to investigate how gut microbiota-derived metabolites influence protein homeostasis in intestinal epithelial cells, particularly how they regulate protein quality control networks and cellular responses to proteotoxic stress. I enjoy exploring new scientific questions and working with researchers from different backgrounds. I am always open to collaborations and hope to contribute to exciting and meaningful research through the interdisciplinary environment at Bio2Q. ”
