Scholar-generated biography
Joo-Hong PARK is a researcher at Seoul National University with expertise in mucosal immunology, host-microbe interaction, and microbiology. Their work explores the interplay between microbial communities and host immune responses, particularly in the context of intestinal health and disease. Research includes the role of gut microbiota in regulating type 2 immunity, the impact of bacterial species like Roseburia on metabolic conditions, and the molecular mechanisms governing microbial stress responses. PARK's studies also examine how microbial factors influence host gene regulation and contribute to conditions such as inflammatory arthritis and fatty liver disease.
