Hyokeun PARK PhD
Principal Investigator
Hyokeun Park received a Ph.D at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for single-molecule fluorescence research on myosin VI(motor proteins) and ReAsH under professor Paul R. Selvin. As a postdoctoral researcher in Richard Tsien's lab at Stanford University, he worked on real-time 3D tracking of single vesicles in live hippocampal neurons. He worked with Michael Z. Lin on the morphology change of single dendritic spines by fluorescent light inducible proteins (FLiP) for a short time. In 2014, He started working as assistant professor in the Division of Life Science and Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). His research interests are developing new fluorescent microscopy techniques, applying those techniques to biological systems, investigating the synaptic transmission and transport in neurodegenerative diseases, and exploring neuronal death mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.
Chungwon PARK
Postdoctoral Fellow (Sep. 2022 ~ Present)
Chungwon received a Ph.D. in Life Science at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2022. He studied the dynamics and exocytosis of GABAergic synaptic vesicles in living neurons under the supervision of Prof. Hyokeun Park during his PhD training. Currently, he continues to study it as a postdoctoral fellow in our lab.
