Biography
Hoonsung Cho has completed his PhD from University of Cincinnati and postdoctoral studies from Harvard University School of Medicine. Hoonsung Cho is an associate professor of Chonnam National University. The main interest is multifunctional nanocarrier systems for imaging, targeting, and therapy. The current research interests include imaging cell death with multimodal vital fluorochromes and detecting extracellular DNA and RNA using fluorochrome-functionalized nanoparticles as probes for detection and manipulation of these nucleic acids. He is also doing research on the surface treatment of biomaterials using plasma for the improvement of biocompatibility and regeneration.
