Biography

Dr. Park received his Ph.D. from the Julius-Maximilians University in Wurzburg, Germany. After obtaining postdoctoral training at the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology in South Korea, he joined the NCI-CCR's Experimental Immunology Branch as a research fellow where he studied the role of IL-7 signaling in T cell development and homeostasis. Since 2008, Dr. Park has been a tenure-track investigator at the Experimental Immunology Branch where he is investigating the mechanisms of cytokine receptor regulation and signaling in immune cells.
