I am from South Korea and studied for my BS, MS, and Ph.D. at Chonnam National University, South Korea. I graduated with my Ph.D. in 2003, studying lipid-related cell biology in Japan. Now, I am working as a research director at RDA, South Korea, and my research target is to find or develop bioactive materials to modulate lipid metabolism in cells and tissues. To date, I have produced more than 200 publications in the field of developmental natural bioactive materials.
