Hyung Don Ryoo, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Ophthalmology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York University. He serves as Principal Investigator of the Ryoo Lab, which investigates cellular stress response mechanisms using Drosophila melanogaster and mammalian models. The lab focuses on unfolded protein response (UPR) and integrated stress response (ISR) pathways in contexts including neurodegeneration, retinal degeneration, development, and innate immunity.
Research explores physiological stress resolution during development, ER stress in retinal diseases, and ATF4/4E-BP signaling in stress resistance. Key contributions include identifying Hrd1 ubiquitin ligase as a suppressor of mutant rhodopsin toxicity and characterizing the ATF4/4E-BP axis in innate immunity.
Dr. Ryoo advises PhD student Kristoffer Walsh and oversees postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate trainees. The lab collaborates with the Treisman Lab and Bach Lab through weekly joint meetings.
