Jae Youl Cho
Dr. Cho is a Professor at Sungkyunkwan University. His research areas are inflammatory and cancer signaling and development of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer remedy from natural resources. His current research interests are to understand oncogene-related signaling cascade in cancer and inflammatory cells, and figure out the molecular mechanism of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer actions of naturally-occurring components. He was working as an Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Ginseng Research (IF = 6.060) and is currently acting as a director of Research Institute of Biomolecule Control sponsored by National Research Foundation of Korea. He received B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Genetic Engineering from Sungkyunkwan University, in 1991 and 1993, and Ph.D. in Immunology and Molecular Pathology Department from University College London in 2001. After his Ph.D., he worked as a Postdoctoral fellow in Washington University in St. Louis for 2 years. Before his moving to Sungkyunkwan University, Dr. Cho was an assistant and associate professor of Kangwon National University for 8 years from 2003. He has published 500 peer-reviewed papers and 160 registered and applied patents.
