معرفی
Chongwoo A. Kim is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Midwestern University, holding dual appointments in the College of Graduate Studies (Arizona) and College of Pharmacy (Glendale Campus). His research and teaching span structural biology, biochemistry, and epigenetics.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Johns Hopkins University, 1996
- B.A., Oberlin College, 1988
Dr. Kim's research program centers on structural and biochemical mechanisms of epigenetic regulation, with emphasis on Polycomb group protein complexes. His current NIH R15-funded project (2022-2025) investigates selective assembly of functionally distinct PRC1 complexes critical for developmental gene silencing. Publication trends reveal specialization in chromatin dynamics and protein complex architecture through structural biology approaches.
