Biography
Joon Won Park has obtained his PhD at California Institute of Technology in
1988, and worked in Northwestern University as a Postdoctoral Fellow for two
years, he started an independent professional career at Pohang University of Sci-
ence and Technology (or POSTECH) in 1990. His initial research was focused on
self-assembledmonolayer and created a dendron-modified surface that provides
regular nanoscaled spacing between immobilized molecules. He combined the
proprietary approach with force-based atomic force microscopy. As a result, he
was able to increase the reliability, reproducibility and accuracy of the analysis. He
has been keen on analyzing various biomarkers including DNA, mRNA, microR-
NA, and protein of low abundance quantitatively without amplification as well as
manipulating single biomolecules and mapping biomolecules at high resolution.
He was the Head of Chemistry Department and is a Founder of NB POSTECH
Inc. (a Pohang-based venture) and Nanogea Inc. (Los Angeles-based venture).
