Dr. Eunhee Chung received a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences from the University of Georgia, Athens. She received her master’s and doctorate degrees in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She completed post-doctoral training in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She was an Assistant professor at Texas Tech University. Currently, she is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She was the recipient of the American Heart Association Post-Doctoral Fellowship and Research Career Enhancement Award from the American Physiology Society. She is the author of more than 30 peer-reviewed articles. The long-term goal of Dr. Chung’s research is to determine the lifelong effects and mechanisms underlying an abnormal maternal metabolic environment on the health of offspring and discover a therapeutic strategy for treating or preventing childhood obesity. Her current research projects focus on 1) determining contractile properties of the heart in male and female offspring in response to maternal obesity with and without exercise, 2) determining oxidative stress and the mitochondrial respiratory function as the underlying mechanisms of maternal obesity and exercise on the cardiometabolic health of offspring, and 3) developing an effective small molecule inhibitor to fight against obesity and associated disorders.
