Soomin Eom, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Fellow

I obtained a B.S. in Applied Biology from Kyungpook National University (KNU), then I pursued a Ph.D. in the department of biological sciences at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) under the supervision of Dr. Sebyung Kang to study the modular protein-based delivery platforms for localized and targeted disease treatments. In the Sgourakis Lab, I aim to use my background in protein engineering and cargo delivery system to restore immune surveillance in solid tumors, and to develop T cell–targeted delivery systems for enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. Outside the lab, I love watching movies, running along the river, and cooking.
