Baek Sung Hee

Baek Sung Hee is a Professor in the Department of BIO at Seoul National University. His research focuses on cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology, with an emphasis on epigenetic diseases, the epigenetic code, and its role in diseases such as cancer, autophagy, and inflammation. He investigates the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic perturbations and their impact on homeostasis, and employs mouse models to identify novel epigenetic regulators. His work integrates epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data with big data and deep-learning approaches. Baek also leads the Epigenetic Code and Diseases Creative Research Center and serves in various editorial and advisory roles.

Sung Hee Baek is a professor at Seoul National University with a focus on epigenetics. Their research explores the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation, including the role of epigenetic modifications in cellular processes such as autophagy, protein stability, and transcriptional regulation. Key areas of interest include the interplay between post-translational modifications, coactivator complexes, and nuclear receptors in disease progression. Baek's work also examines the impact of epigenetic regulators on cancer development, particularly in breast cancer and hormone resistance. Their research highlights the significance of ubiquitin-related pathways and deubiquitinating enzymes in modulating gene expression and cellular function.
