Dong-Ok Won

Dong-Ok Won is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at UMass Chan Medical School, affiliated with the T.H. Chan School of Medicine and the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences. His work spans genetics, molecular biology, and health informatics.

Education:

• MS in unspecified field from Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea
• PhD in unspecified field from Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea

Dr. Won's research focuses on genetic determinants in biological systems, derived from his work on carotenoid profiling in tomatoes. His expertise intersects with plant biology, molecular genetics, and nutritional science, though his current role emphasizes health informatics and quantitative health sciences.

This is supported by his 2017 publication analyzing tomato fruit pigmentation through genetic markers and biochemical pathways. While his primary affiliation lies in health-related disciplines, this work suggests interdisciplinary applications of genetic research.
