Jungseog Kang

Jungseog Kang is an assistant professor of biology at NYU Shanghai. He received his PhD in molecular genetics and microbiology at UT Austin, where he studied regulatory mechanisms of an essential mitotic kinase, Aurora B, in yeast. During his postdoc training, he continued to study chromosome segregation processes in human cells and discovered differential regulation mechanisms of mitotic kinases to control mitosis. After joining NYU Shanghai, he published several papers in the field of chromosome segregation and cancer drug screening, acquired NSFC grants, and presented his work at international conferences. He is also an enthusiastic teacher for undergraduate education in the classroom and laboratory.
