All animals are born with a set of instincts, or innate behaviors, and our main questions are how complex behaviors are organized in the nervous system and how they are programmed during development. For this, the chemosensory system would be one of the most excellent models. Smell and taste are known to be important for sensing predators, selecting mates as well as finding food. We would like to trace the neuronal pathways that mediate a complex instinctive behavior such as feeding, from sensory input through to motor output. We are using the fruit fly as a model system to study chemosensation.

I am primarily interested in systematics and evolutionary biology of plants. In particular, I am interested in the origin and evolution of plant endemics on oceanic islands, including the Macaronesian Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and Jeju and Ulleung Island in Korea. I am also interested in revealing complex evolutionary history of polyploidy and homoploidy lineages of flowering plants. Additional research interests include conservation genetics of rare and endangered species, population genetics of invasive weedy species, ethnobotany, plant domestication, and phylogeography of east Asian plants. A variety of techniques and molecular markers are utilized to unravel the phylogenetic patterns and underlying processes generating plant diversity.

TGF-beta is a pivotal cytokine which is involved in a variety of cellular functions. Our group has been focused on the signaling pathways mediated by TGF-beta superfamily cytokines regarding cancer progression and anti-inflammation during the past decade. Our current research focuses on the identification of novel mechanism of TGF-beta or BMP-mediated tumorigenesis and metastasis. In addition, we are also doing the studies about how specific signaling pathways in the inflammation and cancer biology are regulated by ubiquitination and deubiquitinating mechanism. Through these diverse approaches, the final goal in our group is to understand the molecular mechanisms regarding cancer and inflammation and subsequently to identify therapeutic target proteins to treat cancer and inflammation.

We are interested in the development of bioactive molecules that can be used to treat infectious or inflammatory diseases. Our major target diseases include polymicrobial sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and colon cancer. To generate useful target molecules that can be used to develop therapeutic agents against these infectious or inflammatory diseases, we are focusing on several chemoattractant G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Since leukocyte trafficking in vivo is a crucial event that modulate immune and inflammatory responses, and chemotactic GPCRs mediate these response, the receptors can be considered as important primary targets to control infectious or inflammatory disorders. Currently, we are testing the effects and mechanism of action of chemotactic GPCR ligands against these diseases in experimental animal models.

Life is controlled by a milieu of macromolecular interactions. We focus on understanding structural basis for protein interactions and their applications using a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques such as crystallography and solution scattering as well as standard techniques in molecular cell biology. We study proteins interactions in ubiquitin signaling, host-pathogen relationship and abiotic stress response signaling. We also develop mini-antibody based bionano sensors for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Phosphorylation and ubiquitination are reversible post-translational modifications with key roles in various signal transduction cascades. Currently, cancer cell-specific metabolic adaptation is a hot issue to be addressed. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway integrates both intracellular and extracellular signals and serves as a central regulator of cell metabolism, growth, proliferation and survival. The mTOR pathway is activated during various cellular processes such as tumor formation and angiogenesis, insulin resistance, adipogenesis and is deregulated in human diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Although ubiquitination of target protein plays a critical role in other cellular activity during tumorigenesis, little is known about functional relevance of ubiquitin-mediated coordination of mTOR pathway and autophagy induction. So we have interested in the deciphering molecular networks of signaling pathway particularly associated with human diseases caused by malfunction of nutrient sensing.
