Lee Junho

Lee Junho is a Professor in the Department of BIO at Seoul National University. His research focuses on developmental biology, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and neurobiology, utilizing molecular genetics of Caenorhabditis elegans to explore molecular mechanisms of biological phenomena. His lab investigates topics such as the biology of animal dispersal strategies, developmental plasticity of the nervous system, alternative lengthening of telomeres, and the establishment of a new Caenorhabditis genetics model using a Korean nematode species. He is also involved in the study of Korean nematode collections for phenotypic diversity and evolution.

Junho Lee's research focuses on biology, particularly using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to investigate genetic mechanisms and molecular pathways. His work explores topics such as microRNA processing, gene regulation, stress response, and developmental biology. Lee's studies include the role of genes like unc-101, ARK-1, and KPC-1 in various biological processes, as well as the impact of environmental stressors on gene expression. His research also examines the genetic basis of natural variation in telomere length and the function of proteins such as calreticulin and LID-1 in stress resistance and lipid metabolism. These studies contribute to understanding fundamental biological processes and their implications in health and disease.
