Kang Chanhee

Kang Chanhee is an Associate Professor in the Department of BIO at Seoul National University. His research focuses on stress response and aging, particularly exploring senescence and autophagy as critical mechanisms in age-related diseases. He employs genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry to understand these processes and their dysregulation. Kang's work includes developing novel technologies like SIP and LysoIP-DEG to advance his research goals. He has held positions at Seoul National University since 2016 and has contributed to various publications in prestigious journals.

Chanhee Kang's research focuses on stress response, aging, senescence, and autophagy, with an emphasis on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular senescence and its role in aging and age-related diseases. Kang's work explores how autophagy influences both the induction and suppression of senescence, as well as its dual roles in survival responses to starvation. Publications highlight the interplay between autophagy and the DNA damage response, the regulation of senescence through selective autophagy, and the systemic control of starvation responses in model organisms like Caenorhabditis elegans. These studies contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies targeting senescence and autophagy for aging-related interventions.
