Biography

Cheorl-Ho Kim has completed his Ph.D at the age of 28 years from The University of Tokyo and was positioned as a senior scientist from Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology. He is a professor of Molecular Glycobiology, SungKyunKwan University, Korea, leading organization of Korea, which is cooperated with the SamSung Group. He has published more than 320 papers in reputed journals and serving as an editorial board member, executive editor and editor-in chief of the international journals. His work was contributed to the mechanisms of glycan-mediated Hepatis B viral oncogenesis and invasion, sialoglycan-mediated leukemic differentiation and vascular biology. Prof Cheorl-Ho Kim has been recognized as a pioneer expert in Molecular Hepatology, Glycobiology and Glycomics study, as evidenced and demonstrated by the following confirmations: The Lab has the authors of over 300 peer-reviewed articles published in international scientific journals. His distinguished discoveries recognized in the biomedical area are well documented in the Academic Society from the following outstanding findings: Hepatic B Viral hepatocarcinoma and PTEN (Cancer Research 2003), asialo-1 acid glycoprotein in liver cirrhosis and carcinoma (Hepatology Research, 2003), UDP-N-GlcNAc:β-D-Man-1,4-N-GlcNAc-T-III in hepatitis (Glycoconjugate J, 2003), plasma MMP-9/2 and α-fetoproteins in HBV chronic hepatitis (J.
