Dong Hoon Hwang
Administrative Professor, Ph.D
-
Research interests : Spinal cord injury, Stroke, Neural stem cell, induced Pluripotent stem cell
-
My main interest is the stem cell therapy for central nervous system disease. Currently, I go deep into the role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in supporting the survival, differentiation and migration of grafted stem cells.

Min Jung Kwon
Research Professor, Ph.D
-
Research interests : spinal cord injury, Neuron-Macrophage interaction for axon growth
-
My main interest is potential role of macrophages in axon regeneration. My currently works on the contribution of macrophage-derived molecules to pro-regenerative activity base on Neuron-Macrophage interaction model

Young Joo Oh
Ph. D candidate
-
Research interests : spinal cord injury (cervical 4 hemiection model), transcription factor c-jun, stat3 activation in CNS
-
I am studying transcription factor c-jun and stat3 activation from in the red nucleus after hemisection in cervical 4 and I am also studying the interaction between stat3 and socs3 that occur after cervical 4 hemisection.

Hee Hwan Park
Ph. D candidate
-
Research interests : spinal cord injury, hydrogel, neural stem cells
-
I have been working in the field of central nervous system (CNS) injuries, especially spinal cord injury. To treat CNS injuries, I utilize the injectable hydrogel and neural stem cell transplantation in the injured spinal cord.

Hyung Soon Kim
Ph. D candidate
-
Research interests : CNS regeneration, spinal cord injury, ischemic stroke
-
I investigate repair of CNS after injury. My research focus is on the inflammatory responses that occurs in rodent for the enhanced regeneration. I currently apply ischemic stroke model as well to figure out immune responses in brain.

Xue Lian Jin
MD, Ph. D candidate
-
Research interests : white matter ischemia, oligodendrocyte, renovascular hypertension
-
My main interest is white matter ischemia and I am currently looking into mechanism of hypoxia-induced axon degeneration in renovascular hypertensive rat model.

Yeo Jin Seo
M.S candidate
-
Research interests : Macrophage, Axonal regeneration, neuron-macrophage co-culture
-
A main interest is the role of macrophages in axonal regeneration. My study is to find molecular determinants of macrophages with a pro-regenerative phenotype for axon growth using neuron-macrophage co-culture model

Simay Geniscan
M.S candidate
-
Research interests : Spinal cord injury, Neural Stem Cells, Hydrogel
-
My main interest is spinal cord recovery with neural stem cells following spinal cord injury. I am currently studying on hydrogels in correlation with molecular and cellular processes involved in the recovery of spinal cord.

Hyo Gyeong Seo
M.S candidate
-
Research interest: spinal cord injury, oncomodulin, axonal retraction
-
I am conducting research to determine whether oncomodulin promotes axon outgrowth and prevents axon retraction, and to determine where it acts on the axon.
