Kwanghun Chung, PhD, completed his undergraduate studies at Seoul National University in 2005, majoring in chemical and biological engineering. He then went to the Georgia Institute of Technology and completed his thesis work in 2009 under the mentorship of Hang Lu. During his graduate research, he developed microsystems for high-throughput imaging, molecular/behavioral phenotyping and cell microsurgery of a broad range of living systems. He then joined Karl Deisseroth’s lab at Stanford University for post-doctoral training in 2010. In his time in the Deisseroth lab, as a BWF-CASI Postdoctoral Fellow, he invented a novel technology termed CLARITY, which enables system-wide structural and molecular analysis of large-scale intact biological samples. In 2013, he joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to start his own lab as a principal investigator of the Picower Institute of Learning and Memory. He is also an assistant professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES).
