Roh Soung-hun

Roh Soung-hun is an Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University. His research focuses on molecular machines and their assemblies, utilizing Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) to explore functional mechanisms at the molecular level. Roh's work contributes to structural biology by achieving high-resolution structures of complex biological systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Baylor College of Medicine and has conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University and Baylor College of Medicine. His academic career at Seoul National University began in 2022 as an Assistant Professor, advancing to Associate Professor in 2022. His research has been published in prestigious journals such as Nature and Cell.

Soung-Hun Roh is a researcher specializing in biochemistry, structural biology, and CryoEM. His work focuses on elucidating the structural mechanisms of ion channels, chaperonin complexes, and membrane interactions. He has investigated the structural principles of nicotinic receptors, the role of TRiC/CCT in proteostasis, and the interactions of tarantula toxins with voltage sensors. His research also explores the structural dynamics of the DICER-pre-miRNA complex, vacuolar ATPase, and cholesterol transport mechanisms. Additionally, he has contributed to understanding the function of chaperonins in oncogenesis and protein folding pathways. His studies integrate CryoEM with molecular dynamics to uncover structural and functional insights into complex biological systems.
