Gwangrog Lee

Gwangrog Lee is a Professor in the BIO department at KAIST. His research interests include Biochemistry, Immunology, Synthetic Biology, Biophysics, and Gene therapy. He maintains a website at https://sites.google.com/view/pemit/home and can be contacted via email at ifglee@kaist.ac.kr. His laboratory, the P & M Lab, focuses on protein AI-Engineering & Mechano-ImmunoTherapy, exploring the correlation between protein structure and function by force, signal transfer via ligand receptor interactions, and the mechanistic behavior of cells. The lab also develops platforms for human healthcare therapy by controlling biology mechanistically.

Gwangrog Lee is a Professor at KAIST, specializing in Protein Engineering & Mechano-ImmunoTherapy. His research explores the mechanical and structural properties of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. Through single-molecule force spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, Lee investigates the conformational transitions, elastic properties, and enzymatic mechanisms of these molecules. His work also examines the role of mechanical forces in biological processes such as RNA degradation, DNA unwinding, and immune cell interactions. By combining experimental and computational approaches, Lee contributes to understanding the nanomechanical behavior of biomolecules and their implications in cellular functions.
