RESEARCH SUMMARY

Sung Hyeok Hong is a veterinary surgeon and an independent scientist. In the Mackem lab, he manages transgenic mouse models for mouse limb development. Before joining Mackem lab, he developed an in vivo orthotopic metastasis model for studying colorectal cancer, neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma using surgical techniques. In addition, he established in vivo orthotopic brain tumor models, glioblastoma and medulloblastoma to discover new noble compound treatments.
