Donghwi Ko

Dr Donghwi Ko serves as a Research Fellow at the Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge, within Professor Henrik Jönsson's research group. His work bridges computational modeling and experimental plant science to investigate growth mechanisms.

His primary research areas include Plant Biology, Computational Biology, and Synthetic Biology with specific focus on hormone signaling pathways (ABA and GA in vivo) and developmental dynamics. He employs interdisciplinary approaches combining mathematical modeling, live imaging, and genetic analysis to decode plant responses.

The Jönsson Group operates within the Sainsbury Laboratory's specialized facilities, including advanced microscopy and plant growth environments. Current projects involve synthetic biology applications for hormone manipulation and futurum outreach initiatives to disseminate findings.
