السيرة الذاتية
Dr. Yongsoo Park is a Scientist at the Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) and an Assistant Professor at the College of Health & Life Sciences, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, where he models neurological diseases using patient-specific hiPSC-derived neurons.
Dr. Yongsoo Park received his PhD in investigating exocytosis and plasticity of vesicle fusion at the POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology), South Korea. After completing his PhD degree in 2009, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany, being trained by mentor Prof. Reinhard Jahn, a world-renowned scientist by his pioneering research into fusion and neurotransmitter release.
In 2015, Dr. Yongsoo was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Izmir International Biomedicine and Genome Institute and joined the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey.
His lab at QBRI focuses on extracellular vesicle biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer's disease. He also studies lipid dysregulation in neurological disease conditions with a focus on vesicle fusion. By applying interdisciplinary approaches, his team investigates molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of therapeutics to treat neurological diseases.
