Seo, Ho Seong (서호성)
Current Position
Prinicipal Researcher
Research Interest
My research focuses on the intersection of immunology, radioisotope applications, and infectious disease control. I am particularly interested in the development of vaccines and diagnostics using radiation-based technologies, as well as the study of host immune responses under radiation exposure. A significant part of my work also addresses the mitigation and treatment of acute radiation syndrome (ARS), aiming to develop novel countermeasures for both civilian and emergency preparedness contexts. By integrating immunological insights with radiological science, my research supports innovation in both public health and radiation safety.
