Park Hwang-seo

Professor Park Hwang-seo is a faculty member at Sejong University, affiliated with the Department of Life Sciences and Department of Bio-Convergence Engineering. His research focuses on computational biology, drug discovery, and molecular design, particularly for targeting disease-related proteins using physicochemical and machine learning approaches.

• B.S. in Microbiology, Seoul National University (1993)
• M.S. in Chemistry, Seoul National University (1995)
• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Seoul National University (2000)

His work includes developing protein-ligand binding free energy functions, predicting pharmacological properties of compounds, and designing inhibitors for kinases and phosphatases. Recent articles highlight structure-based drug design for BRAF and LRRK2 mutants, machine learning in adhesive molecule screening, and 3D-QSAR models for blood-brain barrier permeability.

He holds patents for anti-TM4SF4 humanized antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions for stroke treatment based on AMPK inhibition.
